Only watch this if you got a strong stomach: GOP attacks on JDVance

You read that right

Outside the Republican "big tent" they attack Kamala with dog whistles and sly euphemisms and outright lies to activate white resentment and tribal prejudices.

Inside the tent, there's no whistle, just dog. And it's baring its fangs. I suspect they're trying a different way, a truly MAGA way, to get Vance of the ticket.

This is what you get when you get Trump. An ouroburos of extremism and an incitement to violence.



Stop these people.

1. Fascist movements like MAGA republicans typically eat their own

eventually, According to T. Snyder.

If one of them gets to the top of the greasy pole, then other aspiring fascist power-control freaks look for opportunties to do them in. Repeats and repeats through history.

So if the republicons are in fact actually intent upon eating Vance and then spitting him out, it would be typical. Pathetic, but typical of fascism.

I hope his family stays safe but the man….gets what he deserves. If the truth has ever passed his lips, I have never heard it!

Think. Again.

7. Usha Vance is the daughter of immigrants, technically

But I get your point. Republicans have no problem manipulating their voters' xenophobia while not applying even their most noxious principals to their own lives. Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, & Phil Gramm from Texas married immigrant professionals. The rules don't apply to leaders

That even works on their homophobic republican preachers who pick up young men when they go to out of town conferences.
