added that his wife’s experience has helped give him the perspective that it’s “very hard” for working families in America.
She's a lawyer who went to Yale. Her father was a mechanical engineer and her mother was a molecular biologist. They are a working family, but not the type of working family that should give you a new perspective on how hard it is for working families in America. This is the opposite of a working family that struggles for financial security.
Yes, but they have to keep associating "person of color" with "poor" and therefore "crime". If they don't keep lumping all non-white people in with other "undesirable" things, some of their followers might look around and realize that non-white people can achieve things on their own too, and that makes non-white folks start to resemble actual human beings a bit too much for their liking. If she was single, he wouldn't be lauding any of her achievements. The unspoken belief is that women are as incapable as non-whites when there's no husband involved. The dehumanizing and belittling narrative has to be constant with them or some of their followers might start thinking for themselves.
We interrupt this thread to point out that Peter Thiel is an Enormous Bag of Shit
Especially for someone whose whole identity is based on growing up as a good ol' Appalachian boy, it's pretty weird to say he's learned much of anything about the struggles of working families from his wife's experiences. Unless --gasp-- perhaps he's exaggerated the experiences of his childhood?
If he can find difficulty in his upper-class life, why did he join the party that wants to crush people orders of magnitude poorer than him?
Answer: He's a malicious sociopath and in it entirely for his own enrichment.
“She’s cool, she’s with me”
She's a DEI wife. Some poor white woman was looked over for the very appealing task of being JD Vance's ~~couch~~wife.
Just following in Trump’s footsteps, with Melanie taking a job that no American was willing to do.
Vance really is the Diet Mountain Dew to Trump’s original, piss-colored drink.
She's not white, but...
Sweet milky cheeses what a horrible sentence!
I am fully aware she is garbage too for marrying that d-bag, but how can she possibly be ok with someone who would even utter this sentence?
rich people don't get married for the same reasons non rich people do
Don't worry. She's one of the good ones.
I read it as:
She is not white, but she is sorry and trying her best.
LOL the article mentions nick fuentes, whose name i've seen, but don't know much about, so i looked him up. my favorite:
He has described himself as the "straightest guy" and attempted to defend himself as an incel by claiming that "the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel", as "having sex with women is gay ... What's gayer than being like, 'I need cuddles. I need kisses ... I need to spend time with a woman.'"[30][31][32]
LOL what the chicken fried fuck
4 Chan jokes personified.
Bro I'm so straight I won't even touch a door nob that a woman touched. Because a man has had his dick on her hand duh. Ain't no queer
it's weird how infrequently i say "no way someone's that fucking dumb" these days. because i always end up being wrong. i wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if i learned he refuses to sit on a public shitter for fear that he's potentially touching asses with a gay man
Even funnier, he thought he ended his stream and then jorked it to gay furry porn.
Also, worth adding, a literal neo-nazi. Also, was part of the InfoWars meeting with Kanye when he said that we shouldn't be dissing on Hitler all the time.
So yeah, he's a piece of shit. And that's the nicest thing you can say about him.
fellas, is it gay to have sex with a woman?
it's a classic.
It's telling that he jumped to defend how much he loves her, and in a way that seemed to be saying "It's okay, she's one of the GOOD ones!", rather than condemning or decrying the racist, hateful acts themselves.
When they fight, do you think she's conformable sending him to sleep at the coach?
He ain't gon be doin much "sleepin", na'm'sayin?
Every photo of the Vances make me think we're living in a sitcom. She's objectivity gorgeous and he looks like a lump of mashed potatoes that rolled into a pile of barber hair.
I assume she's ugly on the inside since she consented to marry him.
Oh, most definitely.
There was an article a while back dispelling the notion that Melania was some kind of pre-nup prisoner we should feel sorry for. She's just as vile as he is, just in a more appealing package.
And yet, she still seems to really hate him.
Lol, yeah. Hating him and being just as vile aren't mutually exclusive.
I know, I just think it's funny that she hates him despite basically politically being on his side.
Have you looked at him? He isn't handsome. And we all know what his personality is like. What about him is there to not hate except the emphemeral mirage of money?
She probably hates him, but loves the lifestyle she can live on his grift.
With 100% certainty she is utterly despicable.
See, he can't actually go after these attacks for being the racist epithets that they are, because that would offend the Republican base. He's got to thread that needle of "defending his wife" and "still being racist."
What a man. Loves his wife despite her not being white. So touching.
He continued, “Obviously, she’s not a white person and we’ve been accused — attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha. She’s such a good mom, she’s such a brilliant lawyer and I’m so proud of her.”
Jesus... Unwilling to condemn even when they're attacking the so-called love of your life. I sure hope rapists don't get some part of their platform too. His wife might be subject to so much worse...but he loves her...such a good mom.
Talk to Rafael, it’s part of the program
I had to make sure there was a photo of them in the same room
attacked by some white supremacists over that
That sort of implies that there are other white supremacists he doesn't have a problem with, right?
and he said like her skin color was an affliction that they would cure if they were able to
and talked about her like a male porn performer talks to a female performer "He is so proud of her and her performance."
JD Vance is a bitchass cunt and won’t defend anyone because of that fact.
"Obviously, she’s not a white person and we’ve been accused — attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha. "
Shortens to:
"...she’s not a white person... But I just love Usha"
With implied reasoning:
"..she’s not a white person... But I just love Usha (anyway)"
Man, to be that into the whole "If I just act whiter, I'll be accepted" that she must go through in her head every, single, day of her life just to be white adjacent is just mind blowing to me.
She's so emotionally damaged from believing in the whole model minority myth that she's okay with being shit on by her husband and his party every single day of her life just makes me so utterly sad that she's so broken that way.
and up until recently she hated trump https://www.thedailybeast.com/usha-vance-was-appalled-by-jan-6-and-trump-friends-spill
Until recently HE hated trump, so no surprise here.
She may not be white, or have throw cushions, but god damnit he tolerates her regardless!
She loves her for who she is...
Like... It's lesser to be who she is?...
She is one of the good ones
