Vance also said he was “outraged at Trump’s rhetoric, and I worry most of all about how welcome Muslim citizens feel in their own country. And there have always been demagogues willing to exploit the people who believe crazy shit. What seems different to me is that the Republican party offers nothing that’s as attractive as the demagogue.”
Exploit the people who believe crazy shit. Exactly what Vance is doing now that he’s sided with the demagogue.
Vance is even worse than a narcissist. He knows better and chooses to be evil for his own self-interest. I get why Trump likes him. He understands a life being driven by self-interest. And he knows Vance will burn everything down to advance he and Trump’s interests.
Vance was the liberal heartthrob until he went full MAGA so that he could become a senator.
As a self-associated ‘liberal,’ I’d never once even heard of the guy before Trump picked him. That said, I’m not from his state, and it seems like literally everyone there hates him, so maybe the two are related.
Either way, calling him a “heartthrob” might be embellishment.
JD Vance claimed he we was “just kidding” after texts saying he hated the police resurfaced after it was revealed he was arrested for breaking into an IKEA and abusing two dozen couches in one night.
Since apparently it wasn’t glaringly obvious to you, that comment was a joke.
Every single trump voter is morally reprehensible. Fucking traitors.
Conservatives in general. Utterly without fail, I’m immediately repelled, uncanny valley style, whenever I accidentally trip into a conversation with one. Pray tell, what are they conserving except “shit for myself”.
I’m left, and one of my best friends is right.
Sure, we don’t see eye to eye on a lot of politics, but we do have a lot of common ground. Even get into arguments now and again. But we always end up seeing things a little different and then telling some jokes about each other’s parties after.
Immediately writing someone off because of a political view of a great way to get into an echo chamber.
Depends, some of us happen to belong to minorities that the conservative right are actively working to oppress, and that’s not really something one can tolerate.
It’d be one thing if it was a disagreement about what colour to paint the new children’s hospital.
But when they want ethnics in shit jobs for shit pay, queers dead, and AFAB barefoot and pregnant - they can fuck right off.
Trump doesn’t want a VP, he wants a doormat that will never pose a challenge to his power.
I love all this shit talking of Vance’s the press keeps digging up. And there seems to be so much of it! I’d love to see a steady drop of this all the way to Election Day, just to dig at Trump.
