JD Vance has real "rejected from art school" vibes. Though I somehow suspect his villain origin story is even stupider than that.
I don't understand, did he write multiple forwards to Project 2025 books? Why do we keep getting random headlines to single lines that he wrote for one piece?
He looks, and kinda sounds, like Gary from Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell.
Nah, he's fat bizarro Bill Hader.
Though honestly my wish is that Martin Short plays him on SNL. Only because Steve Martin is the obvious choice for Waltz and I really think Short could capture the idea that JD doesn't even deserve a credible stand in, only off the wall mockery.
i can't unsee this now!
Suffering is better together.
Why are there quotation marks around only the word “wolves”? Is that the only word from the headline he actually said?
Maybe the rest is paraphrased for brevity, or maybe the author felt that this was the least believable part and opted to emphasise that he used that exact word.
Or maybe it's some weird rule about quoting a title assigned to someone or something? For example, the Wikipedia Article on Napoleon describes that he
crowned himself Emperor of the French
without quotes, but later mentions
what became known as the "Hundred Days"
with quotes. I'm neither a native speaker nor reveived particularly in-depth education on writing guidelines, so I have no idea. I just know that sometimes there are weird rules about quoting stuff.
But if I take them at their word and start advocating "get them before they get you", I'm the bad guy.
Jorkin DePeanus Vance should be smothered to death with a couch cushion.
Don’t joke about autoerotic asphyxiation. It’s claimed some greats
RIP Trevor Moore
RIP David Caradine.
This guy kills Bills
It's too bad these guys cannot just be treated like an internal ISIS - because that's what they are, only the threat is much, much greater.
“The old conservative movement argued if you just got government out of the way, natural forces would resolve problems—we are no longer in this situation and must take a different approach,” Vance continues. “As Kevin Roberts writes, ‘It’s fine to take a laissez-faire approach when you are in the safety of the sunshine. But when the twilight descends and you hear the wolves, you’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.'”
Roberts himself has recently called for a “Second American Revolution” — a modern-day repeat of the eight-year conflict that killed between 25,000 and 70,000 Americans. Roberts himself said that the second revolution will be “bloodless” but only “if the Left allows it to be.”
"Don't turn this rape into a murder" is apparently mainstream conservative philosophy now.
This will not hurt him, if anything it will ingratiate him with the magoos. They eat this shit up.
Imagine the fucking hypocrisy... Hillary says essentially "half the magas are a basket of deplorables" they cry foul and self select into that group, but then they go on about killing Demonrats and that's totes ok.
There was an asshat in Texas (I think) a few years back that said "the only good Democrat is a dead one" and the crowd went nutty cheering. Then he realized what he said and backtracked "I mean... Politically dead. You know the media will just twist my words." Too late fucker, the audience went nutty over the thought of killing Democrats.
Just a reminder that there is a pretty high chance that this guy becomes president given Trump's age.
And likely intends to do so for life.
This is his plan, if not that claim trump is unfit to hold office and take his spot. He doesn't interview like he's in it for VP he interviews like he is going to be president and it's weird.
Conservatism is a plague of death that is long overdue for a cure.
Why call it conservatism at this point? At this point, they are radical theocrats.
Or radical conservatives. Or conservative theocrats.
The common element is always conservatism.
But what are they wanting to "conserve"? Has the US ever even been what they want it to become in project 2025? Maybe in reconstruction South...
While debatable, I believe they want to conserve a systemic hierarchy of social privilege or sense of superiority. Regardless, human cultures (at least since the renaissance) appear to have an observable gradient of ideologies that span from progressive/egalitarian to regressive/discriminatory. In western cultures, we usually refer to the latter as conservative, despite the debatability of what, exactly, they are "trying to preserve". As polarized as we are in modern U.S. politics, "conservative" is practically a team name.
The left really need to tone down the rhetoric.
