It’s like when Sideshow Bob was running for Mayor and used ads denouncing Mayor Quimby for letting crooks like Sideshow Bob out of jail.
Vance isn’t nearly as intelligent as Bob. But I did laugh at the comparison.
Vance is a Yale grad and a best selling author. It’s a good example of imposter syndrome; he’s better than Trump in any possible way, but lacks the intestinal fortitude to be anything but a lickspittle.
“That’s different! They’re white!” -his inner monologue
The problem is that hypocrisy doesn’t burn them. Logic doesn’t matter.
You’ll find conservative women against abortion who had an abortion, because “for them it was different”.
You’ll find them yapping about taxes and “big crime families” but when trump does it “he’s just smart and using the system like everyone else”.
You’ll find them fed up with “giving away free stuff”, when they all do sovcit shit and dodge taxes because “fuck biden or wtv”.
They have upper class money, but for them it’s different, “they aren’t rich” and “daddy technically didn’t even help”.
Theyre all losers who think all their problems are caused by other people.

My favorite article was about some privileged women who were shocked when they found out that when abortion becomes illegal, they can’t have abortions anymore.
Because for them, they were called “terminations”. I couldn’t make this up.
And then they had the gall to proclaim that they would have been the ideal people to show the importance of the matter. Of course, a matter is unimportant until it affects you, the privileged one.

Zero empathy or reflection. Kind of impressive.
Yeah but they get away with it because their audience only cares/is fed the stuff they agree with
Trump said the government should be allowed to take people’s guns without due process (just breaking two constitutional amendments, NBD) and Republicans just had to wait a couple days and their voters forgot about it
It’s a trap either way. Like asking Matt Gaetz if he agrees children should not be trafficked and raped by middle-aged adults. Any direct answer to that would make him look like a pedophile.
Pleasantly surprising to actually press even that hard during an interview. Interviews should be forcing candidates to explain themselves.
