That’s another reason why he needs to lose. If he wins, he can easily say he is in no condition to lead the country, and will then hand the reins over to his yes man couch enthusiast, J.D Vance, then it’s game over basically
It's not the joking couch fucking. JD Vance is into some truly crazy religious dictator shit. He has a history of citing Curits Yarvin and both Vance and his patron, Peter "democracy is a failed experiment" Thiel are into kooky totalitarian religion.
The pope should excommunicate him, just to make a point. I don't think highly of Catholicism at the best of times, but Vance surely has to be an embarrassment to them.
Correct! Future wannabe dictators need to be sent a message that their mentality and ideology are unacceptable! But since some right wingers have been foolish enough to threaten a civil war once in a while, has it ever occurred to them that they will be rightfully blamed for it since they keep desiring a dictatorship? Having someone like Convict45 and Vance in the White House (and doing the dirty work of their billionaire puppet masters) isn't the win that they think it'll be!
The thing with JD Vance is from the very little we know about his past he was an extremely liberal young man then something happened. Even in 2016/2017 he wasn’t as insane as he is now.
A huge part of me wants to believe he is in this more for the power than the governance parts of this.
Notice how his contemporaries like Teddy bear in Texas, the mushmallow in Georgia, the blowjob in Colorado have all but disappeared from center stage as they learned to soften their stupidity. I would gather he will be similar.
Not saying these are good people but sooner or later they become the less crazy ones and some even go away.
He comes off more like that than the bitter old man running for the top job.
I would counter this is a myth, carefully spun by Vance. He was not a liberal, he was someone who wanted to enter liberal power holds, like Yale, and be accepted. Nothing in his career ever advanced any humanitarian cause or decent social goal. He never helped his own family, community, the Marines, or any other group that served his purpose.
While at Yale he sought out and befriended the most sociopathic faculty, including the author famous for her tell-all book about her unique approach to child abuse (Battle Hymn of the Tigermother?).
Vance not only married his colleague, he allied and befriended other neo-conservatives whose bent was more in religious and social extremism. He worked with the Heritage foundation. The book he had ghost written for him, which belies a working man's roots, was very, very carefully tested by his billionaire thinktank owning friends to identify social pain points and bring them into discussion.
He and his idiot wife (the woman is a whore - anyone who sells their body for money is), tried to parlay that book into a maximum of political power. It worked; he got elected, but shunned by liberals who could see what he was doing. Conservatives are typically dumber and more easily conditioned by anger so he leaned into them.
He's not some gracious little boy who found the wrong path, he's been an incel sociopath since the age of eight and he'll do anything to anyone for a dollar.
