Are you seriously saying Trump and Vance are normal?


In as far as having sex with a couch is normal.


This is the best messaging Democrats have had in a long time. Trump was already weird in his own way, but Vance adds a cringe factor to the whole deal. The best part is it directs attention away from Kamala who is also plenty weird. So we went from choosing between geriatrics to choosing between weirdos...

What a country!

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 no issue with asexuals but I find it strange Dems use incel as a slur when they claim to be the sexually enlightened and accepting ones. I find it strange Dems don’t understand the social contract requires having children (at least 1) so the Dems are already at a disadvantage for the political future and you see the herds thinning already when the only millenial prospects are AOC and a small handful of others who also ironically don’t want kids. The Republicans are playing the long game by making sure they reproduce. The white and black communities in America are growing in childless rates with Gen Z and millennials and it’s not the Young Republican movement struggling with having kids. It’s all Democrats’ kids. The God, country, family thing wasn’t engrained into them which is fine but I think it puts progressives at a severe disadvantage for the future.
I suspect this is why Dems want illegal immigration and to make them citizens

They are kind of weird. Look at Trump's hair or consider that he paints himself orange. This is one strange dude.

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.


I read that line to my white DH (I'm Asian), and his eyes bulged and just shook his head. I'm just wondering what is going through his wife's head.

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

Fact check: FALSE/ 4 Pinocchios. Especially given you must be at least 35 under the Constitution.

Buttigieg is early 40s, is being vetted and would take it in an hot second. But many Dems feel he’s too young and are “not sure it’s his time yet”. They want more than mayor of a Midwestern town and 3 years as Transportation secretary. They want more actual executive government experience. Give him a more high profile position under Harris and/or have him do a term in the Senate or an a Governor, get reflected, and we’ll talk. And, sadly, the gay man plus woman thing turns of Midwestern moms.

Beshear is 46 and wants it badly and has a real shot. Raimondo, Whitmer and Shapiro are early 50s, which certainly beats the 78 year old former President, current cult leader and convicted felon. IDK how genuine Wilmer's “no” was. She’s being vetted. I suspect she’d take it, but made a preemptive statement because she knows there will never be two women in the ticket. Shapiro wants it badly. And yes, the party of DEI is somehow considering Cooper, Walz and Kelly— 60 something white men. But the list is definitely longer than these 3 (and Cooper being vetted is a courtesy to NC Dems, since NC is possibly a swing state. He isn’t real, because if he leaves, NC loses the right to abortion. The Lt Governor and both house of the legislative branch are right wing. Losing abortion is the closest southern state with it for many women does not get Dems NC’s delegates. It passes Dems off, because there are options that don’t lose abortion for NC ). I guess they would be DEI picks in your mind.

So everyone over 40 is old to you? I mean, I guess if you are Gen Z, it seems that way. But, the Dem ticket wants actual governing experience. The right would love AOC. But she isn’t ready. Her cycle is more 2036. Experience takes that takes time to get. JD Vance may be 39, but he has a thin resume and is clearly not ready for prime time, let alone to step up after Trump eats one too may Big Macs. I’ll take the 40-50 year olds. Or someone in their 60s if it gets the right person for their job and to win the ticket.

Odd that the Rs are so into a DEI criteria like age for the Dem a ticket. Harris’s may be 60, but she looks 50-55 and has a ton of energy.

Anonymous wrote:I’ve got little patience with “narratives” and spin from the left …. but yes Trump and Vance are weird. That is accurate. Vance especially. There’s something off with the elite trad men so very interested in patrolling other people’s family/personal lives. They invariably have some kind of deep interpersonal issue. Dreher, Douhat, Vance, etc.

Trump well - he’s just sui generis and weird all on his own vector.


They both spend way too much time on Twitter/X and actively refreshing their feed. They are in a very weird algorithmic bubble, likely fed content by both foreign adversaries and private interests. They say these weird things because their algorithm has normalized it. They have been conditioned to legitimately believe that their Twitter feed reflects reality and widely held opinions.

It's actually terrifying.

One guy is talking about doing away with voting and the other guy is talking about cat ladies not being sufficiently patriotic.

Yeah, they're weird.

GMAFB. Elevate the debate. Trump (and by extension his supporters like you) have zero credibility with respect to that.

Exactly. Now, let's talk about real issues, like Kuh-MAHL-a's laugh.


+1. And her laugh is lovely. It’s so nice to see positive energy in politics. We haven’t had that in almost a decade. People happy and excited instead of angry, divisive, insulting, nasty, etc. It’s just awful that she had an infectious, genuine smile and laugh. We want mean, miseable, angry politicians who stoke meanness and anger in their followers.

Remind me of a single thing Trump has done to “elevate the debate” since 2015?
