JD Fucking Vance??? Fuckin really? That whiny little fucking piglet? That spineless simpering suckup nerd? That’s your fucking guy? This country deserves it, all of it.

I still can’t comprehend that he still has a career as a “populist” Republican after Hillbilly Elegy. People forget that the entire point of that book was that he was trying to start his political career by appealling to right-wing Liberals and the point was “look how backwards these people are and how they brought the economic suffering on themselves with opiates and racism” and he was trying to tell liberals that they don’t need to appeal to or feel bad for people in Appalachia or the Rust Belt.

”look how backwards these people are and how they brought the economic suffering on themselves with opiates and racism"

That is essentially the same thing Trump thinks, so kind of fitting in a way.

They could have stood together to announce it on stage, eyepatch and earpatch. Two great flavors together at last.

Americans have the memory of goldfish. I had someone tell me they like how genuine he is, they’ve completely forgotten him being never-Trump and getting dunked on for kissing Donald’s ass and begging for help to get his seat.

At the very end of my liberal phase, when I still listened to the BBC and the like, before JD Vance became a politician, I read Hillbilly Elegy. I’ll see myself to gulag now.
