I thought we were unhappy women who only had cats as friends.

Now we are wolves.

I cannot keep up with this so can we compromise and be cheetahs or something?

[-] 31337@sh.itjust.works 67 points 3 months ago

It's the same, "enemy is simultaneously weak and strong" rhetoric characteristic of fascism.

Perhaps there are two Democrats inside of you.

Wait, do those two internal Democrats have internal Democrats themselves? Does that make every Democrat a fractal?

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 13 points 3 months ago

The "enemy," to people like him, are always both pathetic jokes and a horrific threat that needs to be eliminated.

edit: oops someone already said what i did

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

Just don’t be his couch…

Wonder how the republicans would act if we went around saying they are vermin who should be slaughtered.

[-] tiefling 43 points 3 months ago

They would be all "now is a time for unity, and the fascist Democrats threaten our Republic"

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 53 points 3 months ago

Gosh, nothing weird at all about talking about millions of Americans in the same way the Nazis talked about Jews, gypsies, communists, leftists, unions, POC, LGBTQ, etc....

"Stop calling them weird, you guys!!!" - The Tone Police

ThE dEmOcRaTs aRe ThE rEaL fAsCiStS!

So anyway.... we should kill all Democrats amirite?

[-] Hazzia@infosec.pub 46 points 3 months ago

An apex predator responsible for keeping the ecosystem balanced and with minimal pest animals that will harm the environment by consuming too many resources?

[-] frezik@midwest.social 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think he might be giving the Democrats too much credit, there.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 months ago

You know, the ones that people have on sweatshirts and pillows and junk.

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

There are two Democrats inside me.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

I wish the democrats were wolves.

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 3 months ago

Is it only the men who are wolves? He established the women as cat ladies, but are they also wolves?

I’m starting to think the JD Vance extended universe has no internal logic.

[-] prole 27 points 3 months ago

Just a reminder that there is a pretty high chance that this guy becomes president given Trump's age.

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

This is his plan, if not that claim trump is unfit to hold office and take his spot. He doesn't interview like he's in it for VP he interviews like he is going to be president and it's weird.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

And likely intends to do so for life.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

The left really need to tone down the rhetoric.

/s

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 19 points 3 months ago

Yeah man, compare us to the predatory pack animals that cull other species and re-balance ecosystems.

We're coming for you.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 15 points 3 months ago

This will not hurt him, if anything it will ingratiate him with the magoos. They eat this shit up.

Imagine the fucking hypocrisy... Hillary says essentially "half the magas are a basket of deplorables" they cry foul and self select into that group, but then they go on about killing Demonrats and that's totes ok.

There was an asshat in Texas (I think) a few years back that said "the only good Democrat is a dead one" and the crowd went nutty cheering. Then he realized what he said and backtracked "I mean... Politically dead. You know the media will just twist my words." Too late fucker, the audience went nutty over the thought of killing Democrats.

“The old conservative movement argued if you just got government out of the way, natural forces would resolve problems—we are no longer in this situation and must take a different approach,” Vance continues. “As Kevin Roberts writes, ‘It’s fine to take a laissez-faire approach when you are in the safety of the sunshine. But when the twilight descends and you hear the wolves, you’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.'”

Roberts himself has recently called for a “Second American Revolution” — a modern-day repeat of the eight-year conflict that killed between 25,000 and 70,000 Americans. Roberts himself said that the second revolution will be “bloodless” but only “if the Left allows it to be.”

But if I take them at their word and start advocating "get them before they get you", I'm the bad guy.

[-] Icalasari@fedia.io 11 points 3 months ago

Oh hey he's making me terrified for my friends in the states. Neat!

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Conservatism is a plague of death that is long overdue for a cure.

JD Vance has real "rejected from art school" vibes. Though I somehow suspect his villain origin story is even stupider than that.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

Llamas are cool. Can I be a friendly llama?

Jorkin DePeanus Vance should be smothered to death with a couch cushion.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Don’t joke about autoerotic asphyxiation. It’s claimed some greats

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

It's too bad these guys cannot just be treated like an internal ISIS - because that's what they are, only the threat is much, much greater.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I don't understand, did he write multiple forwards to Project 2025 books? Why do we keep getting random headlines to single lines that he wrote for one piece?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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!
