      Vance is so much worse than I initially thought. And my standards were already super low thanks to the unambiguously racist villainizing of Haitian migrants in Ohio at the VP debate, but holy shit this was grotesque. Literal schoolyard bully shit.

        yeah man Vance is like a super Christian cult member who wants to be the leader. Like forget about separation of church and state, JD Vance would burn books just as quick if it had anything other than white pages on it.

          What’s really weird about all this is Vance is married to an ethnically Indian woman. But he does the Christian nationalist white supremacist schtick.

          I have to imagine that the Silicon Valley style tech bro culture that Vance was inculcated into is so full of high skill Indian and Asian people that he has something of a blind spot to what his political rhetoric will do to those people, too. I honestly don’t know how he squares any of his beliefs. Or if he even bothers to try to have a consistent set of beliefs in the first place.
