the fake hillbilly motherfucker is gonna be one burger down the wrong pipe away from the presidency

we live in the bad timeline but at least it's funny

Fucking lmao Peter Thiel is one fish delite-related asphyxiation away from the presidency.

I think the Trillbillies are going to SH themselves

Negative charisma. Hillbilly Elegy aged like shit (and it already was shit).

I'm surprised by this pick because I think Trump will get annoyed - perhaps very quickly - if Vance gets even a little too much attention. I'm not saying Vance is super charismatic or anything. But Pence was a smart pick for Trump because he was as interesting as a pile of wet paper towels.

My sister went to see jd Vance speak at her college and there was going to be a meet and greet thing after the speech with cookies and juice. She ended up having to leave early and when she went to get a cookie she accidentally knocked the whole catering-sized box all over the floor. She tried to help the staff clean them up, but when she tried to throw them away they were like, "what are you doing? Those are still good?" and PUT THE FLOOR COOKIES BACK ON THE TABLE TO BE SERVED!

So I know for a fact that JD Vance has eaten floor cookies.

Elegy yourself and everyone around you

I hate Peter Thiel so much

I can see the electoral rationale for this if you consider Vance as a way to try and plug some holes in Trump's public image for the campaign.

His USMC service means Trump can use him to distract from the 'suckers and losers' or lack of support from veterans attack line. Vance's whole hillbilly elegy working class hope shtick (yeah it's bullshit) counters Trump's NYC spoiled billionaire reality. The fact that Vance used to talk mad shit about Trump doesn't just mean that Trump can use him bending the knee as a sign of strength, but Vance can distance himself from those comments, especially after the shooting, and play into the whole unity and calmer rhetoric thing.

Plus I imagine it comes with an absolutely blank cheque from Peter Thiel and a lot more of silicon valley.

the message of his famous memoir was literally "the working class appalachians i grew up with are loser rednecks who will never amount to anything because they're worthless lazy fucks who blame all their problems on the system." not exaggerating, this is how he talks about his people:

I know

is the more direct Republican counterpart of

but Vance gives off a very similar "grown in a vat and programmed to acquise to the highest bidder/biggest evil by adopting any affect or positions his ~~owners~~ ~~handlers~~ backers want him to" kind of vibes

JD Vance sounds like a shady car dealership.

Better than Flynn imo

blood boy two handshakes away from the presidency

Peter Thiel is VP. Musk in shambles

Well, at least it was not some freaky, absolutely-unhinged, Neocon, nuclear warmonger (like Nikki Haley, John Bolton, or even Mike Pence).

However, Vance does seem to be quite anti-China. His selection likely represents a growing split within the US ruling class. One faction wants to "destroy Russia first, then attack China" (i.e. the pro-Biden faction). The other faction wants to "attack China now, then destroy Russia" (i.e. the pro-Trump faction). Both factions seek the same goal: US global domination.

Of course, both of these ruling class factions are arrogant, delusional morons. They could not successfully occupy Iraq and Afghanistan without bankrupting the US federal government. They definitely will not be able to defeat China and Russia.

There's two kinds of Terminators

Blue Terminators and Red Terminators

JD Vance, Vance refrigeration.

Is this not going to alienates to his rural working class chud base? Do they not know who JD Vance is? Like is he not broadly known outside of his preferred fanbase and the communists who hate him?

Trillbillies Ep. 1 throwback.

I wasn't sure about Trump before, but with this JD VANCE pick he secured my vote. In fact I will vote for him 5 times. Suck it loony liberals!

Why does the absolutely shittiest thing keep happening?

Oh boy, Thiel acolytes.

Shoot out to the poster who prior to midterms was adamant, over a number of posts, that Vance would never win, because he was "too weird." Brother, you do not understand American politics!
