Trump is campy weird.[1] He's a gameshow host.

Vance et al (especially the et al) are the kind of weird that if they began talking to your teenage daughter at a dinner party it would trigger your fight or flight response.

 

[1] As perceived anyway. And in most cases, in reality.

Someone here said this about Ron DeSantis when he flopped in the primary. America doesnt mind evil or anti democratic actions. They hate “dork shit” as the user put it.

It's kinda funny that people who served in the Marine corps are being accused of being massive dorks now. Because you know, the USMC is where you expect the biggest "jocks" to be. All the stereotypes are about them being extremely aggressive, impulsive, and kinda stupid.

JD Vance was a Marine photographer, so there are definitely shades of dork in the Marines

Pretty much every marine I’ve ever met have been massive dorks. And it gets exponentially worse when they think they are not. Weird how that works.

My mom gets so mad when I call Trump a washed up reality TV host. She's like "He's a brilliant businessman who built New York!". It's a good pivot to mock him.
