So, the Dems new talking point is that Trump and Vance are “weird”

Right, so George Washington was, what, ripping up the social contract? The very GOAT of founding fathers to our country?

Weirdo.

Also James Madison‚ James Buchanan, James K. Polk and Andrew Jackson had no biological children. At least five former POTUS with no bio kids. It's actually a bit interesting, given the lack of effective birth control back then. Also, Andrew Jackson is lionized by the modern rightwing in spite of his lack of bio kids.....which is also very interesting.

Syphilis and other STD rates were really crazy back then, and some of those guys were in the army, which usually had camps of prostitutes following them. A lot of men were actually infertile due to STDs. And, of course, we tend to forget the high rates of natural infertility because so many people now either adopt or have fertility treatments. Anyone who does geneological or other historical research knows that it was VERY common for every family to have the childless aunt or uncle in the mix -- sometimes they adopted but often times they just were the beloved auntie/uncle that helped out nieces/nephews with childcare, money, etc. Also, particularly for women, most of the women that made the biggest contributions to the well-being of our nation did not have children of their own (because the women with children just did not have the time to do so). The idea that everyone is going to have kids of their own is a really recent phenomenon. Vance should study more history.

How generous of him to love his wife even though she’s not white. I hope the blatant racism against his own wife turns off conservative Indians.

And leaving open the possibility he would not love her if she had been infertile. Weird.

Agree with this assessment. He loves her despite her being not white and one of the reasons is because she has his kids. So she's a good mother. What if she couldn't have children? I guess he would've divorced her and moved on.

Even though she's not a white person, she did incubate his children and raise them well. That really ticks a box for this dude. Fertility will overcome all sorts of problems as a human being, including her heritage.

Good god.

I predict that when Vance finally gets through with dealing with the couch stuff and then takes on the dolphin sex stuff, the main line of defense from DCUM's MAGA contingent will be the weird argument that ACTUALLY Vance is NOT into dolphin-related bestiality because the animal pictured in his tweet is a PORPOISE. So, all you libs can just STFU and stop LYING about everything.

Seriously, bookmark this–there WILL be discussions on FOX News about how the liberal media won't admit that Vance is into porpoise bestiality and that it's not weird and many people in Ohio and outside of liberal SF are into it as well.

Not only are the Republican candidates weird, but so are their most fervent followers. Look at some of them: Elon Musk, weird, Kid Rock, weird, Rudy Giuliani weird, The pillow guy, weird, Ted Cruz, weird, Lauren Boebert weird, Marjorie Taylor Greene weird. I can go on and on but the pattern is clear

I keep seeing on social media that they had their kids with IVF. Is that something she's mentioned in the record? If yes, isolated, that's not terribly abnormal for a pair of yuppies in their 30s, but with everything else about him, it certainly raises an(other) eyebrow about his sexuality.

This guy is so easy to troll. I look at him, and could basically believe anything being thrown at him.

If this is true, how does he square it with the IVF embryo issue? Aren't the fundamentalists arguing that this falls under the abortion rubric, as extra embryos are created and destroyed?

Didn't they close all of the IVF sites in Alabama because of this?

Maybe democrats just need to talk about Kamala's record.

Ohhh... wait...

Right. They don’t want to elevate the debate to politics and the issues because they know they’ll lose. Americans aren’t going to fall for a candidate being “weird” from the candidate marketing herself as the “ brat”. It makes Kamala sound like she is in 7th grade and that’s what her maturity seems like so it fits.

They want to keep enjoying the fake news that they’re weird and bang couches. Meanwhile, their party allows you to be gender free or have no sexuality or have all of them all at once. That’s not weird though. Being non binary , vegan, pro Palestine, trans, BLM/defund the cops all at once is so not weird.

From what I can gather, it appears Jd Vance was a progressive /Democrat and like many millennials became conservative after the progressives went too far left regarding gender and kids. Lots of progressives left the Democrat party in the past 10 years and lots of millennials and white males too but the Dems haven’t realized they’re bleeding out members yet which is why their Vp shortlists are a struggle to get anyone young. Or maybe they have realized it and that’s why they want automatic citizenship for illegal aliens.

My DD is asexual. I’m Gen X and I will admit don’t completely understand it and have been talking to her and learning. I do believe being asexual isn’t new. It’s just the women who were ACE in my generation often married, had a “low sex drive”, we’re “frigid” or just put up with sex as part of the marriage and kids deal. And I think knowing sexual relationships aren’t for you and making life choices accordingly isnt widely understood, but isn’t wierd, ick. And it’s better than “putting up with” sex. She is meh on kids, but 20, so that’s to be expected. But is open to starting a family with artificial insemination or something like that down the line. Is possibly interested in a non sexual marriage or coparenting relationship.

Now, I realize wierdo JD Vance would want to force her into marriage and kids and not have her be a childless cat lady/ in a sexless relationship (because JD Vance cares if my DD is sexually active? Because you do? That’s weird). The only difference between her and my generation is that she’d be up front about the no sex part and not “put up with it for a few years to have kids,” then have a marriage go off the tracks because different parties want different things/ sexual incompatibility . She’d be her authentic self, which I fully support.

Interesting and sadly, she does not consider herself to be part of the LGBTQ community. She says within a community where everyone primarily identifies by their sexuality, having no sexuality is marginalized. That makes her angry— that the “big tent” of people who don’t identify as heterosexual and have been marginalized for it will now marginalize a group because it identifies as no sexuality. So she doesn’t own a pride flag or rainbow anything. She has found her way to a group of other asexual kids on campus. And that helps.

But it doesn’t make her weird/Ick. She attends a top VA college (UVA/ WM/VT STEM), works hard, hangs out with friends, plays her instrument in the orchestra, is studying abroad, is very clean cut, favors a neat pony tail for long hair, jeans or Lulumon pants, a T-shirt and a hoodie, uses she/her, avoids the issue of Gaza on campus because, “I don’t like to both sides thing. But, her both sides are behaving terribly on campus”. She has moderately liberal political opinions and votes, but avoid campus politics.

And here’s the thing. Outside some friends on campus and her sibling and DH and I, she isn’t out about being asexual, even to grandparents, because “no one understands it”. If you met her, you’d think— normal UMC white girl. And have no idea.

So why is she weird/ Ick? And do you think it’s better for her to force herself to have sexual relationships she doesn’t want to form a family where she and the father will end up deeply unhappy and possibly divorced?

Since you are dunking on asexuals, I really want an answer here from PP or other a Republican weirdos who care whether people have sex, with whom, when, and in what positions. I think she’s doing her, not advertising or announcing her sexuality, or making it an issue, because she views her sexuality as private. But she is making life decision based on her authentic self. And I’m glad she is.

What’s your issue with it.

I have a couple of good friends from college (and we are all around retirement age now) who never had sexual relationships (with other women or men), never married, never had children. Their lives were pretty atypical (so was mine, but I did marry and did have one kid). They always brushed off questions (like from older relatives) about marrying. One of them was presumed to be gay by her neighbor (she always was a tomboy) and was very offended by the assumption. We've never discussed the reason for their celibacy, and unless they were to bring it up I would consider it not my business.
