“In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags,” Vance’s endorsement of the book, which came out in July, reads. “Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.”

. . . It’s not the only Vance publishing story that’s raising eyebrows.

The US Senator from Ohio also wrote the foreword and an endorsementfor a book on Project 2025, the far-right roadmap for a potential Trump administration 2.0 that the former president has denied any connection to.

“Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism…,” Vance is quoted as saying in press for the book, by Project 2025 head Kevin Robert.

“We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lie ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

    Vance is a profoundly disturbing figure. If nothing else, a defeat this year in his run for VP will knock him down to Paul Ryan / Dan Quayle levels of relevance moving forward. Let’s get this done.

      This should be the new shittymorph gotcha

      but don’t let that distract you from the fact that in nineteen ninety eight JD Vance asked Jeffrey Epstein, while visiting Epstein Island, how old the loveseat was.

    I’m beginning to think this J.D. Vance guy is some kind of whore who will say or do anything for money. I wonder if Peter Thiel would agree with that sentiment? After all, Vance has accused Harris of sleeping her way to the top and since every Republican accusation is a confession…

    Right out of the Nazi playbook.

    Its like these braindead people think “Oh, I just change ‘subhuman’ to ‘unhuman’ so nobody realises its the same.”

    The thing is, I don’t think you’re going to find anyone who’s willing to run as Trump’s VP that doesn’t have some sort of baggage like this. He’s looking for someone who’ll ignore valid election results as some sort of leftist scam.

      In the GOP I get the feeling he’s more likely to find someone who doesn’t care if it’s a scam and just wants power. But I don’t think most of them believe their own swill.

      They have to use Vance because saying his name for Trump close enough to Pence and they know Dementia Don will flub it soon or later.
