Dangerous and un-American': new recording of JD Vance's dark vision of women and immigration

Source-https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/31/jd-vance-podcast-feminism-immigration

snip-"Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said that professional women “choose a path to misery” when they prioritize careers over having children in a September 2021 podcast interview in which he also claimed men in America were “suppressed” in their masculinity."

[How how how did Tim Ryans' research ppl miss this? How did Ohio media not find this? How did the national & state party not find this?]


The Ohio senator and vice-presidential candidate said of women like his classmates at Yale Law School that “pursuing racial or gender equity is like the value system that gives their life meaning … [but] they all find that that value system leads to misery”.

[His wife was his one of his law school classmates]


snip-"Ever since he was picked by Trump, Vance has been hit by scandals over his past comments, especially those concerning women and his perception of their role in society."

snip-"Sophie Bjork-James, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University who has written extensively on topics including US evangelicals and populist politics, said: “Vance represents a new articulation of rightwing politics that is bridging the Christian right and a tech-influenced hypermasculine conservatism."

How on earth was all this oppo on Vance not discovered and aired when he ran for senate?

I don't think he would have won.

I did hear him describe in a debate with Tim Ryan his stupid idea to only let people with children vote. So that was out there back then. Ryan was ahead in the polls for most of the summer until Dumpy endorsed Vance, then suddenly it was goodbye Tim….

5. He presumes to know the inner life of women while projecting his hatred of them.

Him in the White House--that's a real path to misery for all US women for decades.

7. Each time I look at our VP candidate, I grow in appreciation, and each time I look at theirs, I grow in disgust.
