Someone else already said it, but Vance was picked for Trump, not by Trump. He was picked because he won’t do want Mike Pence did in 2021. Vance is the best VP they could come up with that would go along with Trump’s treason.

No, he was picked because he’s a technocrat. He’ll do whatever Thiel and the like demand

JD Vance does what Peter Thiel tells him to do. And Peter Thiel is a fascist billionaire who ruined a company that outed him as gay. Thiel hates other people, especially women, which is why JD Vance says such weird things.

It’s not like the company he ruined over being outed was a quality company. They were scumbags who lost to another scumbag.

This feels like the Leftist version of a George Soros conspiracy. Why can the answer not be that JD Vance himself thinks the election was stolen? Maybe JD Vance himself is weird?

Well considering that George Soros conspiracy theories are usually based around using him as a boogeyman stand in for “the Jews” I think maybe your comparison is silly. Unless you really think the left needs one single Boogeyman for Christian influence on Politics. As if there wasn’t thousands.

I’m just talking about the general concept of a wealthy benefactor being the reason X person a commenter doesn’t like does anything or has any success. It’s a mental crutch because people can’t fathom large swaths of Americans who just disagree with them, they need it to be a conspiracy for some reason.

Because it would require the assumption that JD Vance has any original thoughts of his own.

Damn. Tankies really out for blood all of a sudden. Is JD Vance about to become the next Victim of Communism?

I agree with my Tex Mex bazooka friend and now I want something in a flour tortilla with slightly too much cheese.

If you eat too much Tex mex, you might turn into a bazooka.
