            Correct. It’s ok for him to have a thing for couches. It’s not ok for him to disenfranchise women of their agency to make a choice for their own lives and bodies.

            I’m not criticizing him by saying he’d like mpreg.

            I wish he would just enjoy tf and mpreg smut instead of channeling his bullshit on to the rest of us.

    Been saying forever, abortion is a car that dog don’t want to catch. What a disaster for the GOP.

    Look, the man had to deflect such a question, right? But if Vance, and by extent the Republican leadership, had the courage of their convictions, the answer is a no-brainer.

    “No. I think they are far more concerned with preventing the murder of innocent children, which is not a right, no matter how you slice it.”

    So, uh, is that message not resonating with women voters? Backing up the truck at this late date?

    Conservatives are no longer conserving the rate of change to human and social values traditional to the United States.

    Under Trump they have become fully reactionary against anything outside of their wealth and privilege bubble.

    So what Harris has done has pointed out that the GOP are not “normal” because their values are really really really far outside the norm.

    Harris flipped it. Because it is true. And she is a better politician than Trump. Poor Vance, not having an ideological raft to believe in, can only say reactionary things.

      Don’t buy their propaganda. They didn’t become this under Trump. They have always been the protectors of wealth and privelige. You can trace that history right back to the birth of Conservativism in post-revolution France. This is just the latest incarnation.

      I highly, highly recommend Corey Robin’s book The Reactionary Mind. He breaks down the whole history of Conservativism in a very accessible manner, and shows how every incarnation of the movement has ultimately been about one thing and one thing only; preventing the enfranchisement of the disenfranchised.

          This seems like a good spot to recommend Roberts Evans Behind the Bastards: How Conservatism Won. in which “Robert sits down with David Bell to discuss how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).” It’s a bit long but is very informative.

          tl;dr the rich hated FDRs New Deal and immediately set about undoing everything it touched, they want a return to the gilded age with themselves as the robber barons and gentry and everyone else as a subservient underclass

      I think it’s finally happening. The strength of GOP was a uniform set of supporters whereas dems were more like a coalition.

      Turns out it’s easier to unite people against a common enemy than based on a shared belief and goal.

      Well, like the dog that finally caught the car, they finally are implementing actual policy they stand for, and that might be what fractures their base.

    Almost immediately after Vance got the nod, I hit on a description for the way he appeared to me. At the time, it was necessarily based on very little info, so mostly I posted it because I liked the imagery - I admittedly wasn’t sure how accurate it really was.

    Imagine that life is a roleplaying game, and in every interaction, one chooses from a set of possible responses.

    And imagine that each response is labeled, so there’s the kind response or the neutral response or the angry response or whatever.

    It’s as if, in every situation, J.D. Vance chooses the asshole response.

    It’s actually sort of surprising to me how accurate that has proven to be. .

      You know, the usual stuff. Cross-dressing men at libraries, “military age” migrant caravans headed towards our southern border, and how high the taxes are for the top bracket. Totally normal concerns that directly affect average Americans in this day and age.

        I think it’s worse. I think he represents a large minority of people who agree with him and just don’t say it aloud. He’s on the ticket in hopes of trump dying in office so they can push this hyper-religious and ridiculous agenda.

        Their only mistake was not realizing how unpalatable their ideas are to the rest of the country. If they understood that, they’d have sent a better liar.

          These religious weirdos are entirely incapable of not being weird about their religion though. Mike Johnson manages to keep most of his extremism under wraps, but even he for some ridiculous reason decided to talk about his son monitoring his porn habits. They just live in bizarroville and don’t know how utterly weird they are to the vast majority of people.
