We live in an age where there is a tweet or a video for everything. And as the days go by, more and more dirt comes out about J.D. Vance. Vance has a serious issue with people who don’t reproduce. Now, if we can just stand way above this and get the proverbial 10,000 foot view, has it ever occurred to the man, I wonder, that we are on an over populated planet? Or, he doesn’t think that’s the case? No, Vance has got it firmly entrenched in his *mind* that he is a superior being for having sired children and those of us who don’t have children of the flesh are second class citizens. And worse. Here’s his latest.
The MFer wasn’t taken out of context!!! This is CLEARLY and OBVIOUSLY what he believes. Either just own it or retract it, but don’t insult the American people by trying to blame the media. We see and hear you ON VIDEO! We aren’t gullible MAGA cultists. https://t.co/DdhtgvcOzk

And here is Donald chiming in. He does not make things any better. As a matter of fact, this is yet another unprecedented moment in Trump world. Trump had Mike Pence defending him all the time. He never had to defend Mike Pence. Now the paradigm has shifted. And I’m betting Trump is not happy with this.
From his wiki page:
"Vance has written that his childhood was marked by poverty and abuse, and that his mother struggled with drug addiction.[14]"
So, he deals (or doesn't deal) with his childhood trauma by idealizing "family", and deriding those who choose not to have kids.— Margie (@margie224) July 30, 2024
Now there are questions about what actually did happen in Vance’s childhood. Oh yes, he wrote a bestseller about growing up poor in Appalachia and then going on to Yale Law School, all that. But none other than the Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, has said this is false. He said that Vance grew up elsewhere and merely spent some summers in Kentucky, “He ain’t one of us.”
We also know that J.D. Vance has changed his name several times. So it would appear that he’s rather creative with inventing a persona to suit his whim of the moment. Or, that he’s got some identity issues. Or a multitude of things.
The man is 39 years old. He’s in line to be the most powerful person in the world, in the event of a Trump win and then something happening to Trump — which considering the fact that Trump is 78 years old and morbidly obese, is a legitimate concern. Vance has two years in the Senate, by way of governmental experience. That’s it. There are House interns who have logged in more hours and have more hands on knowledge about what is going on, than J.D. Vance.
Vance is supposedly a Christian but he is sitting in judgement on people in ways that God does not. Nowhere is it written, “Thou Shalt Have Children Or Be Second Class Citizens.” I have not seen that. Ironically, those who serve God the most, at least in theory, are priests, nuns, people of the cloth, who may or may not have children.
J.D. Vance is entitled to his opinion. But it’s not an opinion grounded in reality. I have known many people who were childless but who worked in jobs, as school teachers, for instance, where they interacted with kids and had a wonderful influence on their kids’ lives. That’s a cliche in this culture, Our Miss Brooks, Good Morning Miss Dove, The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie, that kind of thing. I had influential teachers myself, some of them childless, so I know this is real. Were they using unused parental skills to nurture their students? I don’t know. Nor do I care. What I know is that I saw influential teachers change students’ lives for the better and that’s all that is important here. Parenting and guidance are not limited to flesh and blood parents only, let’s put it that way.
And then there are step-parents — including Kamala Harris — who are important influences on kids. I’ve known couples where one person has borne children, the other one hasn’t, and then they marry and take care of the kids that are already there. Sometimes they have an additional child of their own, sometimes not. Everybody is happy.
But not J.D. Vance. Vance has some kind of a neurotic hang up on parenting and children. He makes it clear that he is a better man for having sired children of the flesh and those of us who have not, are his inferiors. He needs to keep this to himself. These toxic, exclusionary, views have no place in government.
Psychopathy and sociopathy are not developed by having or not having children. “Vance” (or whatever name he is using today) seemed to always be chasing a better life. Somebody please love me! That’s too bad and yet, when he supposedly found an accepting bunch of relatives and others in Appalachia, he pissed all over them in a book! Instead of feeling the love and warmth of a “village that it takes to raise a child,” this needy creature rejected all contact and became a cold Silicon Valley bruh bouncing from one group of unfeeling people to the next! Psychopath, heal thyself!!
Not original thinking (“borrowing “ actually) about Vance: boy ain’t right.
Ain’t right but he is a right-wing nut job.
Re: the paragraphs about his name-changes, personal history, etc.—-striking resemblance to George Santos? As in “J.D. Santos”???
In the series Yellowstone, some bikers from California broke a fence, and refused to leave John Dutton’s land. A fight broke out and they had the upper hand until Rip ran over their bikes and kicked ass. They were told to leave and if they showed up again they’d be buried there. They later came back at night intending to do damage. Kevin Costner(John Dutton), appeared to be alone, but it was a trap. He made them dig what looked like their own graves. One tried to get sympathy by saying “I have children”. Kevin replied: “from where I stand it appears they’d be better off without you.” EXACTLY! This deluded fascist pig is one poor excuse for a parent.
