Five articles worth reading about J.D. Vance

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Today at the Republican National Convention, neofascist Donald Trump revealed that he has chosen Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio as his 2024 running mate. Vance is an Ivy League educated ex-venture capitalist and former “Never Trumper” who decided to fully embrace Trump after the Electoral College put him in the White House in 2016.

Like other opportunists who have embraced Trump once they saw which way the political winds were blowing, Vance’s 180 degree flip makes it hard to ascertain what his principles really are. Here are five articles that’ll give you a better sense of the man.

From New York Magazine: J.D. Vance on his MAGA conversion

From the Ohio Capital Journal: J.D. Vance’s transformation from Trump translator to MAGA combatant

From Politico: Is there something more radical than MAGA? J.D. Vance is dreaming it.

From TIME: Breakfast with J.D. Vance, Anti-Trump Author Turned Pro-Trump Candidate

From Vox: What J.D. Vance really believes

1. The man is a straight up opportunist.

Having read Mary Trump's book describing her uncle's character and his inability to accept defeat or admit to mistakes, this s going to be an interesting run up to the election. I have two theories:

1. Trump is generally ignorant and out of touch with political issues and personalities, but fascinated and flattered easily, something that Vance, who is described by those who know him best as "slimy" in this regard, is good at. So it may be possible that a few people in the GOP, who see better chances to win the election without Trump than with him, advised this choice of a man who has already crawled halfway up his ass to get his favor and attention, in order to set up a battle of egos in order to actually bring Trump down.

2. Vance, who is a conniving schemer and at least as prolific and pathological a liar as Trump is, has engineered himself in this position to grab either the Republican nomination or the Presidency from a badly aging man who can't even stay awake during a convention session. Looking for a quick path to the Presidency, than getting elected to it.

2. Found another good blog post on JD Vance, another angry white guy who craves love from 'elites'

but ends up as just one more bought tool of the powerful

J D Vance then turned MAGA whore because the "elites" dissed him. Much like his new master, Donald the Tampon Guy, all JD wants is to be a celebrity with celebrity friends and celebrity party invitations; All JD wanted was acceptance from "coastal elites" and a seat at the next intellectual party. Sorry dude, you are who you are, maybe staying in Ohio was a mistake. Like Sleepy Don, had he been accepted into polite society, none of this nightmare would be happening.

In 2022, Vance was bought and paid for by billionaire and Hulk Hogan puppeteer Peter Thiel who wanted him to run for the Senate. He did that, somehow won, and entered the Senate in 2023. Wow, Thiel bought a Senator. Cool.

I found and read these amusing blog comments on Vance just after reading about the common traits of most mass shooters, or shooters getting fame for shooting celebrities, such as the guy who took shot at Trump. Lonely, angry, often harboring resentment for not being accepted by groups they idealize... you know the type. Reading about JD Vance after that rang a few bells. I don't believe in an omnipotent creator, but I find a lot of opportunities to respect the odd happenstance of serendipity in my mental explorations.

Vance is NOT a nice guy. He just has a better education than a lot of the young men who vent their illnesses on innocent bystanders via guns. We really do not need for him to have the big guns of power in Washington D.C.

3. Vance is a perfect fit!!

No matter how much of Vance's past is dug up and how vile it might seem to some, with the GOP/MAGA crowd it's just proof that he's a perfect fit for TFG's VP.
