    Vance is a big phat phony in the vein of Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham. Even credulous MAGA smells a rat. Everybody else suspects he’s a Wall st. mole to soothe the minds of the ownership class.

    No matter how you look at it, Vance is another bad deal brought to you by Donald Trump.

        People talk about hard work all the time in places like Middletown. You can walk through a town where 30 percent of the young men work fewer than twenty hours a week and find not a single person aware of his own laziness.

        According to him, rural people can’t find work because they’re lazy.

        Oh, he also talks about punching his stepdad who “wasn’t a violent man”. I expect it’s just political grandstanding to show he was a tough kid.

          Like he’s right that Middletown is a shithole. But it’s a location devastated by collapse of the rust belt. It’s basically a suburb of a suburb of fucking dayton. The people of Middletown aren’t lazy, they’re desperate and they’re tired.

          I don’t know how he managed to become a senator here, he clearly fucking hates Ohioans.

      I’ve seen lots of poor criticism of Vance but your concise little comment actually hit the nail on the head.
