I started reading up on him and apparently he said this:
I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful), or that he’s America’s Hitler.
That fact that he thinks Trump could be Hitler and is still prepared to get behind him for his own gain tells me all I need to know about the principles of the man.
My guess is that he’s hoping that Trump will kick the bucket while in office and get a free pass without needing to campaign.
Remember your vote matters!
This is exactly what he’s counting on. He’s a power hungry snake. 🐍🐍
Obligatory that’s also what Hitler bloody did. I do not want to see either of these men in power.
He’ll probably shove Trump down the stairs first chance he gets.
So long as he says it’s an official act, I don’t see a problem with it.
The problem will then be that JD Vance is in the white house.
Trump may be scum that deserves a long fall down a short staircase, but Vance is exactly the sort of threat that we were worried about following Trump up. Mask off, smarter than Trump is, and capable of inheriting his fan base.
I guess for him comparing someone to Hitler is a compliment rather than a warning.
I wouldn’t be surprised to know he said it like “America’s Hitler” wasn’t the bad thing it would be.
I think you mean “Trump’s VP pick is also a naked authoritarian.”
Fuck Trump, Fuck Vance. Traitors.
He’s an Ivy League educated social climber who hobnobbed with Peter Theil and lawmakers before he got famous writing a book where he cosplayed as a poor person so he could tell rich people exactly what they want to hear about poor people
From a quick glance at my résumé, you might think me an older, female version of Vance. I was born in Appalachia in the 1960s and grew up in the small city of Newark, Ohio. When I was 9, my parents divorced. My mom became a single mother of four, with only a high school education and little work experience. Life was tough; the five of us lived on $6,000 a year.
Like Vance, I attended Ohio State University on scholarship, working nights and weekends. I graduated at the top of my class and, again like Vance, attended Yale Law School on a financial-need scholarship. Today, I represent people who’ve been fired illegally from their jobs. And now that I’m running for Congress in Northeast Ohio, I speak often with folks who are trying hard but not making much money.
A self-described conservative, Vance largely concludes that his family and peers are trapped in poverty due to their own poor choices and negative attitudes. But I take great exception when he makes statements such as: “We spend our way into the poorhouse. We buy giant TVs and iPads. Our children wear nice clothes thanks to high-interest credit cards and payday loans. We purchase homes we don’t need, refinance them for more spending money, and declare bankruptcy. . . . Thrift is inimical to our being.”
Who is this “we” of whom he speaks? Vance’s statements don’t describe the family in which I grew up, and they don’t describe the families I meet who are struggling to make it in America today. I know that my family lived on $6,000 per year because as children, we sat down with pen and paper to help find a way for us to live on that amount. My mom couldn’t even qualify for a credit card, much less live on credit. She bought our clothes at discount stores.
Thrift was not inimical to our being; it was the very essence of our being.
With lines like “We choose not to work when we should be looking for jobs,” Vance’s sweeping stereotypes are shark bait for conservative policymakers. They feed into the mythology that the undeserving poor make bad choices and are to blame for their own poverty, so taxpayer money should not be wasted on programs to help lift people out of poverty. Now these inaccurate and dangerous generalizations have been made required college reading.
[Bolding added]
The fact that this guy hates thrift stores tells you all you need to know about him
I mean, in addition to worshipping Hitler
I am fucking foaming at the mouth with this shit. Every study, every test, and nearly every fucking holy book shows and says, help the poor. It is worth your while. Their very own messiah was built off of helping the poor and going against norms. Its so incredibly asinine.
Their very own messiah was built off of helping the poor
Whoa! I don’t think you’re knowledgeable enough about Supply Side Jesus to make such scurrilous accusations. /s
If you’re from the Midwest and don’t call it THE Ohio State University you’ve immediately lost my trust. And I didn’t even go there.
I’m not from the states, why is the “The” important?
Many states have multiple universities named after them, so you can have university of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania state university.
Ohio state used to be " the ohio mechanical and agricultural school" when they were founded. They changed their name to “the Ohio state university” when they became a university. They were competing with “Ohio university” to be the main big state school, so the tried to emphasize it with “the” prounced with the long e (thee). It’s become a bit of a meme since then. No one really cares but it’s a funny thing for them to embrace and everyone else to make fun of.
As someone from Ohio (not near Columbus), I can’t stand those assholes. I like the school, but their football fans are intolerable
Are there tolerable football fans?
An Ivy League Man who become Very Wealthy thanks to Hollywood and Entertainment is EXACTLY the type of Working Class individual who will help DRAIN THE SWAMP! KEEP HOLLYWOOD OUT OF DC!
He’s a kiss ass. JD Vance has used every public speaking opportunity to suck Trump’s dick very publicly.
A few years ago, he was shit talking Trump every chance he got.
Turns out, “never Trump” Republicans don’t have a political future.
Super excited to see how “Trump is America’s Hitler” does with those swing voters.
TLDR: He is pro-January 6th insurrection, pro-Project 2025, wants to overthrow the current government, basically as Trumptard as they get.
Man who called Trump “Hitler” excited to accept nomination to become Goebbels.
I can’t shake this feeling that we are just totally fucked.
oh man that bs on the prosecutor for docs and then all this shit. ugh.
I thought JFK Jr. was coming back from the dead to be the VP.
It’s a quirky pretentious thing that they take pride in. It’s not Ohio State University. It’s THE Ohio State University
Are… Are there others?
And they got stomped by the Wolverines! Eat shit, JD!
YES!
He’s the guy who, when asked about abortion ban exceptions for rape and increase, said “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”
Maybe the vp debate will turn things around
Well, I, for one, appreciate that he’s wearing clothes every time I’ve seen his picture.
Harris is going to eat him alive in the VP debate.
