and you can tell he doesn’t actually believe anything he says.

100% agree on this point.

But that’s also not JD Vance’s goal here. JD Vance’s goal is to sanewash Trump. And he accomplished that.

JD looked and talked like an alien making his first contact with humans

I kinda-sorta see where you’re coming from here.

Alas: this is the marine stare. A lot of marines I know do this. I think people in the know are in the know and see JD Vance’s mannerism here as charismatic.

Please, reconcile your fawning fascist fellating with the FACT that he’s the last popular VP candidate in American history. I’m sure it will be an entertaining, if somewhat nauseating read.

JD Vance is like +19 points in favorability today post-debate.

Recognize the threat and sit the fuck down. I’m on your side. But we all need to recognize what is or isn’t working in politics. JD Vance’s performance worked. That’s the face of our political opponents, and it’s a solid working strategy.

Don’t be blinded by short term Trump issues. JD Vance is the longer term threat now, even if Trump loses we have many decades of JD Vance ahead of us, especially with his performance last night.

Vance went from -22 to -3. Wow. He’s so popular now. Such a long term threat.

Charismatic adjective

  1. exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others.

I wouldn’t consider staring off while trying to reword your same lie as being charismatic. There is a reason his favorability has been under water the whole time, it isn’t because he was a Marine. I have met Marines, and I have seen former Marines in office that can have a normal conversation, and actually appear to care. JD lacks the ability to converse, and has zero ability to relate with anyone, even MAGA folks.

Lefties not wanting to accept JD Vance isn’t existing in reality. He is existing in MAGA reality. Which is incoherent and separate from actuality.

Lefties pretending that MAGA goes away after the election are fucking dumb. It won’t go away on its own and we need to work political strategies to counter it.
