As soon as some dickhead uses the word "lawfare", I know exactly the kind of person they really are.
Also: JD Vance is not only a creepy weirdo, but a truly awful freak.

The old rules are over. The old order is over. Accusations are evidence. Activism means bigotry and hate. Criminals are allowed to roam free. Citizens are locked up. An appetite for vengeance is unleashed—to deplatform, debank, destroy.
That's some military grade projection
Seems like it needs a good old fashioned review bombing... https://www.amazon.com/Unhumans-Secret-History-Communist-Revolutions/dp/1648210856
Kinda off-topic but Current Affairs is glorious.
God, the current gen of right wing nut bags is so full of shit about “communism” same as their hero McCarthy.
The older gen Americans, their great grand parents and families basically, ate so, so much social welfare under FDR. The New Deal and its after effects are basically how many middle class Americans made their wealth, and are now upper class or more. So full of shit and hypocritical.
How is such dreck even allowed to be published? Freedom of speech is cool and all but surely this crosses the line?
His own book is pretty interesting too
"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"
"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."
There’s a guy saying that they went on a date together at an Applebees in high school. Pretty detailed story too.
If you can find that?
But it’s certainly more plausible than the guy who claims to have done coke with Barry, lol. And the details just seem right. It’s not over the top.
It wouldn't surprise me, but we will never know the truth on that one. The lying bigot actually wrote about conversing with Mamaw about sucking dicks in his book. That's pretty weird
"Mamaw, would God still love me if I wanted to fuck the couch?"
We need answers now. Do we need a ouija, or is she still with us?
Some great parenting there...
Damn, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this before. Truly insane that these people are serious candidates.
Is this an accurate summary of the book? Has anyone read it?
"Unhumans" is straight out of an Orwell novel.
The pizza gate guy was using that exact word in some dumbass rant on his podcast a few weeks ago
I thought the guy writing this was the pizza gate guy.
Dehumanization is right out of the fascist handbook isn’t it.
Hah, remember when they got their knickers all in a twist because Hillary called them deplorable?
Yeah, but THAT's different!

Republicans have never forgiven Communists for the fall of Berlin.
