I can recall my 4th and 6th grade teachers, whom I now in hindsight know were extremely liberal, defending Bill Clinton when my own mother and father were aghast and shocked by his behavior, for something I didn’t even understand at the time. But Ms Davis (single and childless, btw) had a framed portrait of Clinton on her desk. Creepy AF in retrospect.


So I think Vance is onto something.

I do not agree with this. I do not connect with this. BUT there is a lot about this topic in NoVa over the past five years. He says it bc it’s popular. There are literally factions of the book banners v the new book lovers. There is SO much social media on this. There are screen shots of excerpt from racy children’s book (Think Judy Bloom but with a non traditional identity teen). Sorry to say friends, parents do flip out. I have seen and heard them at PTOs . He is talking to the PTO brigade.

Look at the local races. These parents run on these polarizing issues.

Whether a particular teacher has "an agenda" is probably not related at all to whether they have kids, and in many parts of the country there are public schools which pretty heavily promote Christian agendas as much as they can get away with.

Ugh..he's deplorable white trash.

Doug Burgum was the perfect VP. Trump blew it.

VP candidates are supposed to "do no harm".

What a mess Trump's pick has been. Trump is so crazy he needed someone stable and mainstream to balance him out. Everyone said no except Vance, so he got stuck with the VP candidate Trump deserved: charmless, Aunt Lydia type conservative whack job who can't connect to any Americans.

Just 2 yrs of experience in the Senate and he keeps sharing fringe reactionary views.

And the cherry on top is his complete lack of charm.

If he didn’t have access to Mitch and Peter’s war chest to buy that senate seat, he’d struggle to get elected to the Ohio state house. He is a repulsive dweeb.

How else could you explain "Skibidee Ohio rizz" as a slang term before Vance got famous?

Agree. I posted the WSJ article earlier.

And, wait for it, Randi Weingarten is a stepmother. But that’s not really being a mother according to Vance.

This man ain’t right. He has pure hatred for women and the hate comes from a dark place. His memoir detailed on public record his deep hatred for his own mother. He hates that no women would give his creepy ass the time of day until he was a late 20s law student and had to be set up with a girlfriend by his professors. If he is in fact a closeted or repressed gay man, he hates himself for not being attracted to women. He needs a shrink. It’s actually really sad this damaged middle aged man is exposing how mentally unwell he is to the world as a public official.
