JD Vance Is Fred Waterford From “The Handmaid’s Tale”

Vance wants America to become the Republic of Gilead.

I’m gobsmacked at how gawdawful JD Vance is as a vice presidential candidate. He epitomizes the Spare The Rod, Spoil The Child mindset.

There’s a report over TWO HUNDRED PAGES detailing Vance’s dirty laundry, but he became Trump’s running mate anyway. Maybe it was the eyeliner. Or Peter Thiel’s check cleared.

Digging into Vance’s background, I’m sure Trump was given two choices out of three: 1) good, 2) fast, or 3) cheap. As a notorious cheapskate, “1” was never going to be a possibility. Paying for homework on another candidate? Nope.

Vance makes Marc Rubio, that warm, barely-sentient lump of Play-Doh, look good.

So either Trump’s brain trust thought voters wouldn’t care, or, inconceivably, they thought Vance’s rigid, mean-spirited prissy misogynist sociopathy was…normal. (What’s the color of the sky in their echo chamber?)

I don’t know which possibility is more frightening.
