Trump’s VP pick is a naked authoritarian

Let's see how he goes over with mainstream repubs and the rest of America who aren't magas.

"[Vance's]worldview is fundamentally incompatible with the basic principles of American democracy.

Vance has said that, had he been vice president in 2020, he would have carried out Trump’s scheme for the vice president to overturn the election results. He has fundraised for January 6 rioters. He once called on the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into a Washington Post columnist who penned a critical piece about Trump. After last week’s assassination attempt on Trump, he attempted to whitewash his radicalism by blaming the shooting on Democrats’ rhetoric about democracy without an iota of evidence.

This worldview translates into a very aggressive agenda for a second Trump presidency. In a podcast interview, Vance said that Trump should “fire every single mid-level bureaucrat” in the US government and “replace them with our people.” If the courts attempt to stop this, Vance says, Trump should simply ignore the law...

J.D. Vance is a man who believes that the current government is so corrupt that radical, even authoritarian steps, are justified in response. He sees himself as the avatar of America’s virtuous people, whose political enemies are interlopers scarcely worthy of respect.

"... it is clear that Vance is deeply ensconced in the GOP’s growing “national conservative” faction, which pairs an inconsistent economic populism with an authoritarian commitment to crushing liberals in the culture war.

He would enable all of Trump’s worst instincts, and put a brake on none — deploying his considerable intellectual and intrapersonal gifts toward bending the government to Trump’s will."

No, he's just a another spineless trumptard who did a 180 after calling trump "Hitler" and will say, do, or promise anything to hold onto power.

And you believe trump? He picked Vance for VP and Vance supports it.

No, I haven't yet read all 900 pages of it but what I know so far is scary.

It's not scary. Some of the social issues addressed are right wing lunacy, but the parts about the federal government are spot on.

Trump likely picked Vance because he's from Ohio, a critical swing state, and Trump is hoping to get a boost in voting there from him.

Who gives a shit about people who aren't interested in making America great again? Who gives a shit about the opinions of those who HATE the United States?

It's a good thing that the US is not a democracy.

It would seem that you have nothing on Vance and you are desperate to stretch anything and everything to bash the guy who you didn't even know existed two days ago.

J.D. Vance got famous for writing a book in which he acknowledged that the only thing that saved him as a child was a grandfather with a union job and benefits, the sort of which he has dedicated his professional and political life to eliminating.
