Mawmaw sounds cool.

Edit: ok, so, maybe mawmaw was an abusive drunk (I’m in the habit of taking victims at their word, but JD Vance is a prolific liar), but at least she wasn’t a homophobe.

Mawmaw sounds traumatic as fuck and I would have told her flat out I did.

Hey at least she said God would still love him. After all, she likes to suck dicks and God loves her, so it figures. And it would be okay. Of course he rejected that part, and decided to stick to furniture coupling.

How you know Mamaw likes to suck dicks? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

She was an alcoholic who bullied and tormented Vance's mother according to the book. But Vance hates his mother, so he loved Mawmaw for abusing his mom

Holy shit. See, kids, this is why context is important.

Thanks for filling me in.

Edit: Although I typically accept the victim’s story, it’s hard for me to accept JD Vance’s word on anything. Nonetheless, if he was the victim of abuse, I do feel badly about that, but it’s no excuse for his bigotry.
