I think this does balance a weakness. Trump is old as shit - Vance is half his age. Adds a vibrancy that the rest of the campaign doesn't have.
Watch Trump pick JD Vance as his VP.The guy who said Trump might be "America's Hitler" back in 2016. pic.twitter.com/azH2USyYPD— Oliver Alexander (@OAlexanderDK) July 15, 2024 They all come round to him at some point....
Vance is an unlikable hack, proto fascist, zero experience (was just elected less than 2 yrs ago), anti choice …easy to run against. No idea what constituency he attracts, may be the incels/white dudes with facial hair who are already magas anyway. Funny enough, Vance did actually called Trump “ America’s Hitler. Sound like fun!
Welcome to the next step towards Christian Nationalism! As a reminder, Vance opposes any and all abortions, LGBT+, and divorce. He also thinks couples should not be childless and parents should have more say in democracy than non-parents. Good times ahead!
As an value added "asset", he has been bought and paid for by Peter Thiel long time ago….Thiel financed his campaign (and Mastrs as well in Az).
For now. Once it's to his or his owner's (hello German immigrant) advantage, he'll kick the social conservatives to the curb in a New York minute.
Clearly, our mistake was thinking that was a criticism. Remember,the only thing worse than fascism is socialism.At least the fascists let you keep your money in exchange for your political power.The socialists take everything and give it to the poors.
That's what Peter Thiel and Ayn Rand think. I shoulda done one of my taglines to make it clear that these are not my beliefs. My bad.
Is it fascism yet? JD Vance: “We need a De-Ba’athification program in the U.S....We should seize the administrative state for our own purposes. We should fire all of the people...every single middle-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state. Replace them with our people.” pic.twitter.com/NOcMnIQZT8— Republican Voters Against Trump (@AccountableGOP) July 15, 2024
Donald Trump’s choice for vice president described the UK as an “Islamist country” with nuclear weapons during a speech at a right-wing conference last week. Recounting a conversation he was having with a friend, the 39-year-old said he had been wondering which “truly Islamist country” would be the first to gain access to nuclear weapons. “I was talking about, you know, what is the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon?” he said. “Maybe it is Iran, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts, and then we finally decided that it’s actually the UK – since Labour just took over.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jd-vance-vp-uk-islamist-trump-b2580398.html
Yah, that worked out so well the last time they tried that. The Eye-raquis greeted us with flowers, doncha remember? They purged all the government bureaucrats who were part of Saddam's party. Great. Problem is, those people were the ones who actually knew how to run things. Competent administrators who make society function. Of course, Republicans never valued competence, especially people working in government. You know what other group did something like that? The Afrikaner Broederbond, that's who. They were a racist, Afrikaner Nationalist group during the Apartheid era, and their main goal was to get their members into any area of public service they could, to infiltrate society as a whole. Not surprising that the current GOP found a lot of common ground with those guys.
