This is it. Republicans doubling down on authoritarianism.

This is the wind we needed. JD Vance confirms that Trump's gonna cut off Ukrainian aid and a lot of other important issues. This is a huge mistake for Trump. Trump needed someone (like Pence) who could be seen as a kinder gentler kind of conservative. Not a firebrand like JD Vance.

For a certain class of voters who might not care about those issues (which I will agree are all actually very important) - point out how he's an Ivy league educated elite, whose military service was being a PR officer, and who's said things like this about the working class whites he supposedly speaks for

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.

The guy is the exact sort of elite phony that ought to piss off Trump's core supporters if anyone could get them to realize it

Trump is a literal New York Billionaire Real Estate Mogul.

If anyone actually cared about the "coastal elites" catchphrase, they'd have turned on Trump a long long time ago.

It seems you don't understand: people know who their chosen deities actually are, they simply don't care, as long as they feel they advance their own agendas.

The 5 word phrase of the week occupies their entire brain.

Mine too, sometimes. For different reasons, hopefully obvious.

If trump wins this makes a lame duck general europe was more likely.
