Dolly is one of the greatest Americans ever.

And JD Vance is one of the worst.

He’s just America’s Rudolf Hess.

Let's hope he also takes a plane and lands it in Scotland resulting in his immediate arrest.

My daughter gets books from the imagination library. It's a wonderful service.

Vance’s mother wishes she was childless.

I don't know what his mother feels about him now, but she used to have a drug problem, and JD was essentially kidnapped by his absolutely insane "meemaw" who raised him to be a good little conservative shitheel. She's dead. According to Vance, after they went through her house postmortem, they found something like 16 loaded handguns secreted in various places.

I believe his mother is still alive though. I'm going to see if I can find any information about her today. Beverly Carol nee Vance.

Edit: Looks like his mom was at his RNC speech, so fuck her.

His "meemaw" also talked him out of thinking he was gay, and began his 180 on all his previous stances on being a decent human.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that true, and if so do you have a source for it?

Honestly the story is way better than I would have thought. It's crass but honestly not bad. Now how many brain worms does it take to get from Meemaw's stance to the GOP's? Like fuck he should have stuck with meemaw.

"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" [Meemaw] said, according to the book.

The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"

"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."

Wow. That’s.. a thing. And just imagine how he warped what actually happened to be presentable to his base.. yikes.

Thanks for following up :)

She’s a goddamn national treasure.

And if all goes well, Initials McVance is a passing fad that nobody will remember in a year.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago

Dolly Parton is a fricken Saint and by Vance's logic, I guess John Cena is a sociopath as well because he has no children despite all the volunteering he's done for the Make-a-Wish foundation?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes, the GOP, the party that will force you to carry a child to term then turn its back on you, the one that doesn't want free lunches for school children, the one that is selling out everyone's future by rolling back environmental regulations. But yeah, it's the people without children who aren't invested.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Childless people are further left on average than parents, and it’s not the left that wants to remove child labor laws and free school lunches…

Vance has very beady little eyes, doesn't he. Maybe that's why he wears eyeliner, to make his eyes look less beady.

Good time to link to this excellent remix. The video is oddly compelling in a way that's difficult for me to describe.
