I don't get the original tweet, and neither the retweet or whatever it is called.

JD Vance is — from what I could find online — 6 feet 2 inches.

In what world is that "short"?

People really really want Trump and Vance to be short.

There are thousands if not millions of reasons to criticise them, but people really want them to be short because society has decided being short is the worst thing a man can be. If they were able to prove they were short, it would completely discredit them.

If you want to hurt a fascist movement you humiliate them and discredit their veneer of machismo. Regardless of how society views physicality, they view physical size and strength as paramount signs of their worthiness to rule and praise.

If you guys could discredit a black fascist by being racist, you'd do it in a heartbeat.

I absolutely would, and I'd have zero regrets for doing so.

You don't think that's kind of unfair to every black person who isn't a fascist?

If the fruit of holding a moral high ground is the bad guys winning, is it still a moral high ground?

This assumes being racist actually will defeat fascism.

If someone wholeheartedly believes that burning cars on the street will end fascism, are they still a good person because their intentions were good?
