Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
I started reading up on him and apparently he said this:
That fact that he thinks Trump could be Hitler and is still prepared to get behind him for his own gain tells me all I need to know about the principles of the man.
My guess is that he's hoping that Trump will kick the bucket while in office and get a free pass without needing to campaign.
Remember your vote matters!
This is exactly what he's counting on. He's a power hungry snake. 🐍🐍
You gotta pay thetroll tolltoget into this boyssoul.
Obligatory that's also what Hitler bloody did. I do not want to see either of these men in power.
He’ll probably shove Trump down the stairs first chance he gets.
So long as he says it's an official act, I don't see a problem with it.
The problem will then be that JD Vance is in the white house.
Trump may be scum that deserves a long fall down a short staircase, but Vance is exactly the sort of threat that we were worried about following Trump up. Mask off, smarter than Trump is, and capable of inheriting his fan base.
I wouldn't be surprised to know he said it like "America's Hitler" wasn't the bad thing it would be.
You're confused because you're reading "Trump could be Hitler" like its a bad thing and not JD Vance's wet dream.
yeah given his past I view him more a sycophant than an authoritarian. I mean I would not be surprised if he liked to be dominated.
Going from that to running mate means he's clearly a bootlicker and Trump's all about that. If Trump could fill both Pres and VP positions at once he would.
Right? And this is the guy Trump trusts more than anyone else...
I guess for him comparing someone to Hitler is a compliment rather than a warning.
