    JD Vance has real “rejected from art school” vibes. Though I somehow suspect his villain origin story is even stupider than that.

    Gosh, nothing weird at all about talking about millions of Americans in the same way the Nazis talked about Jews, gypsies, communists, leftists, unions, POC, LGBTQ, etc…

      This is his plan, if not that claim trump is unfit to hold office and take his spot. He doesn’t interview like he’s in it for VP he interviews like he is going to be president and it’s weird.

    I don’t understand, did he write multiple forwards to Project 2025 books? Why do we keep getting random headlines to single lines that he wrote for one piece?

    I thought we were unhappy women who only had cats as friends.

    Now we are wolves.

    I cannot keep up with this so can we compromise and be cheetahs or something?

      It’s the same, “enemy is simultaneously weak and strong” rhetoric characteristic of fascism.

        Yeah libs are also “sheep”.

        Right wing domestic terrorists are always “lone wolfs”, and incels think they’re really “alpha males”.

        In reality the right wingers are just a bunch of insecure assholes.

      Perhaps there are two Democrats inside of you.

      Wait, do those two internal Democrats have internal Democrats themselves? Does that make every Democrat a fractal?

      The problem is that a Republicans own significantly more guns, and most times better guns than what’s available in Democrat run states.

        They may have more guns, but they have about the same number of trigger fingers. Gun ownership by the right is badly skewed by looks like this. One guy with sixty guns is really no better armed than a guy with one gun.

        every single time the american military has been kicked to shit it’s been by barefoot peasants with rifles old enough to retire, and never enough of them to arm every soldier.

          Hate to break it to you, but you literally just described the entire state of West Virginia, Idaho, both Dakotas, Missouri, Louisiana, most of Florida, Oklahoma, and parts of fucking Oregon.

    This will not hurt him, if anything it will ingratiate him with the magoos. They eat this shit up.

    Imagine the fucking hypocrisy… Hillary says essentially “half the magas are a basket of deplorables” they cry foul and self select into that group, but then they go on about killing Demonrats and that’s totes ok.

    There was an asshat in Texas (I think) a few years back that said “the only good Democrat is a dead one” and the crowd went nutty cheering. Then he realized what he said and backtracked “I mean… Politically dead. You know the media will just twist my words.” Too late fucker, the audience went nutty over the thought of killing Democrats.

    “The old conservative movement argued if you just got government out of the way, natural forces would resolve problems—we are no longer in this situation and must take a different approach,” Vance continues. “As Kevin Roberts writes, ‘It’s fine to take a laissez-faire approach when you are in the safety of the sunshine. But when the twilight descends and you hear the wolves, you’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.'”

    Roberts himself has recently called for a “Second American Revolution” — a modern-day repeat of the eight-year conflict that killed between 25,000 and 70,000 Americans. Roberts himself said that the second revolution will be “bloodless” but only “if the Left allows it to be.”
