Why does he say everything in the worst possible way? Nothing wrong with grandparents help with the next generation. But why say it like that? Also, given that he has also said that women staying home with their babies is a socially good thing, why did that not apply to his family? Did he suggest to his wife that she turn down the clerk job? Why or why not?
He's a big fake. |
Stop making excuses for him. We shouldn’t have to decode what Vance and Trump mean to say. JD doesn’t want to be relatable to any group other than very conservative Christian extremists. He certainly behaves like an incel. Presents as an alpha. I really believe he’s dangerously repressed, and desires to be a woman. Possibly sexual abuse as a child. Wonder how influential his church clergy was. |
That's wonderful but many grandparents are still working, many are infirm, many kids have moved far from home so the grandparents aren't there to help, my own parents have a little of both - my father is still working and my mother has a debilitating disease that would make it impossible for her to have helped even if the kids were still close by enough for them to help to the degree that daycare wouldn't have been necessary. But it's nice that you've figured out all the secrets to life. |
^ Me again - and some just don't WANT to move from full time work into full time childcare, even if those kids are their grandchildren. Some people have worked really hard for decades and want some time in retirement to enjoy themselves. They have earned the right to do that! |
I hate him more than Trump! I didn’t think that was possible. |
I really judge people who make their elderly people work hard, especially women. It's like saying that person is just meant to serve and doesn't deserve their own time and life and doesn't have value aside from being family help. And I say this as someone who has a great mom and LOVED my grandparents. They still did not raise me or do the bulk of the work. |
The wording of this statement is just bad and it gives the left great content to create political attacks. However, the statement itself if consistent with commonly accepted human evolutionary theory regarding the grandparents providing a survival advantage for grandkids. |
I love that the nitwit right wing sycophants and JD's enabling wife have to keep rephrasing what he "really meant" -- as if this dweeb isn't a middle aged TRAINED LAWYER WITH A DEGREE FROM YALE LAW SCHOOL. Trained lawyers are very, very deliberate about how they speak and know precisely what words mean. |
+1. There is a reason they use language like this. It's not simply a matter of being inartful. It's because they want to appeal to groups that are absolutely poisonous when it comes to gender equality. |
Come on. Speak like a normal human. It sounds like your brain is rotting in redpill nonsense when you start talking about the world through "evolutionary theory" and "survival advantage." |
Look on the bright side - Vance believes in evolutionary theory! |
I dunno, I kinda love this.
(Because every time Vance opens his mouth he sounds worse, and it's driving Trump batsh*t crazy. Stellar choice, DJT Jr.!) |
