The longer I see the 2024 Republican campaign roll out the more convinced am I that there are indeed agents provocateur sabotaging Trump/Vance from within. And of course that’s the tongue in cheek theory depicted by the Lincoln Project and others, that Donald Trump’s team is in fact controlled by subversive forces. So bear that in mind when looking at the latest stupidity from J.D. Vance. Vance walked into an auditorium of Teamsters today, some of whom were wearing “Trump Is A Scab” tee shirts. These same people booed him during his speech and upon his leaving the stage. Then a few hours later he puts out this alienating and divisive post.
JD Vance cannot disguise his hate for women. He puts his hatred out there for the whole world to see. Moreover, he continually objectifies women – and in this example, Vance is saying that VP Harris belongs in a beauty contest – he's sexualizing her.

Vance is also saying that the content of Harris’s interview will be approximately as profound as the content of the average beauty pageant contestant’s one minute interview. This is sniping at a very low and completely misogynistic level. So I guess MAGA loves it and hahaha boy we’re gonna own the libs with this one. But I think that IF any voter is undecided at this point, that person is going to be alienated by this.
The woman pictured here is Caite Upton, who went viral years ago for a comically bad answer about education in America. Upton is also a hardcore MAGA supporter & promotes anti-vaxxer conspiracies.
JD Vance is mocking Kamala Harris by arguing she’s so dumb she’s a MAGA woman.🤦🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/xK6XA5qdO3

This might have gone across in the 1950’s when the likes of Richard Nixon made a communist allusion about an opponent by saying she had “bright pink panties,” but in 2024 I don’t think anybody is going to see this as other than tasteless frat humor.
J.D. Vance is on a par with Jesse Waters and Tucker Carlson. And that makes complete sense. Carlson was one of the people who convinced Trump to pick Vance, along with his two idiot elder sons, Eric and Junior.
I wrote many a scathing sentence about Mike Pence back in the day but I never said he was on a par with Jesse Watters or Tucker Carlson. Vance is a hot mess.
Plus, does Vance NOT get the reference to Donald Trump and the Miss Teen USA pageant and how Trump bragged that he would walk in on 15-year-old girls, in their dressing rooms, in various stages of undress? This is why I am becoming more and more convinced that nefarious forces are infiltrating the Trump/Vance campaign because this level of sheer stupidity and tone deafness is beyond anything ever seen before in politics.

Again, I marvel that Vance does what Vance does. He is indeed making Ron DeSantis look like a veteran campaigner, not to mention a swell human being. And by comparison Vance makes Mike Pence assume Olympian proportions.
There is no low they won’t go.
Trump came out today claiming he will make IVF free.
DeSantis was a deer frozen in the headlights. Vance is the same deer unfrozen, proving it’s even dumber than you think for standing in the road by opening its mouth and talking!
You nailed it with your comment on their campaign’s “level of sheer stupidity and tone deafness…”
They’re so arrogant and so in their own MAGA bubble that they’re not even making an effort to gaslight women voters, much less win them over. They’re no different than the macho ass-hat at a bar who strides up to a single woman and says, “Let’s cut to the chase, baby. You come home with me now and I’ll show you a good time. You can tell me your name in the morning.”
They think that no matter how many votes V.P. Harris receives, no matter how my EC votes she gets in excess of 270, their fix is in and the red state legislatures are going to do von shitzi a solid and steal the election for him. They don’t care what they say because it is very, very possible they don’t have to care. Right now hillbilly boy is saying “oh toots! wait ’til you see what we have in store for you” to every female in the country.
So, Vance just keeps making the accusations of his, um, “special interacting” with couches all that more believable. He just keeps coming off like the stereotypical 40-year old virgin, still living at his parents’ house, in that special basement “apartment” rather than a guy who’s married to a real woman and has presumably actually had sex.
Are MAGA women so self unaware that Vance was trying to equivocate Kamala to a young woman making an error that haunted/taunted her to suicidal ideation, who is also a proponent of MAGA…and won’t apologize for his singling her out for ridicule AGAIN by saying it’s us laughing at ourselves when it’s clearly laughing at her individually. Pretty sure she wasn’t expecting to be a representative.
I believe it is actually them, not subversive forces.
Remember, never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by ignorance.
