Last week, Tracy and Dale McMullen sold their vacation home in Buckeye, Arizona, a property they owned for five years. The Alberta residents, who usually spend four to five months in Arizona a year, said they are not planning to come back.
“We decided to sell the property after the current POTUS took office,” said Dale, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump, who was inaugurated for the second time in January.
“It was time to leave. We felt we could not trust what he might do next to us as individuals and to our country. We no longer felt welcome nor safe.”
“Too bad, so sad” - JD Vance
Another social media user who can’t resist mimicking JD Vance and behaving like JD Vance. The “JD Vance” mind virus has got you. You have brought the JD Vance thinking, JD Vance values to Lemmy here this morning on Wednesday April 23, right here, right now.
That’s how the people behave, they become like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, JD Vance in behavior, thinking, and electric media communications.

Yes, my impression of JD Vance is what is offensive here.
Offensive? no. Bad… anti-intellectual, copying the mannerisms and your brain adopting Donald Trump behavior.
Strange take.
Yes, it isn’t Twitter-thinking Twitter-length copying and mimicking the behaviors of Twitter users like JD Vance and Elon Musk and Donald Trump do in the White House / on the world stage of Fox News / CNN / other media systems, including Reddit, Lemmy, Bluesky.

Get off your high horse.
Rambling, repetitious, pretentious blocks of incoherent text aren’t a sign of some greater intellect, just that you’re full of yourself
