    For me it’s the 16 million scheduled to die in the next decade from having cut USAID. And a ton of other reasons, but that one stands out

    Bush in 2000 talked about being careful about getting involved in foreign wars and nation building exercises, while his opponent ran as more interventionist. Then he invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.

    As the war in Afghanistan dragged on and people got frustrated with the political establishment, Trump distanced himself from that and presented himself as staying out of such conflicts, while his opponents ran as interventionists. Then he attack Iran.

    As gas prices soared and the Iran War dragged on, accomplishing nothing, Vance is now distancing himself from it and presenting himself as someone who would stay out of such conflicts.

    Will Americans finally grasp basic pattern recognition and realize that Republicans are a bunch of warmongering psychos no matter what they say? Guess we’ll find out.

      Waiting for a confession of “I was for it before I was against it” for 2028.

      Vance is politically screwed. He hitched his wagon to Trump’s rising star and now he’s stuck in the middle of a river with dysentry and a broken wheel.

          Yup. The base are utterly clueless and the “independents” are often just as clueless.

          I bet anything they don’t know about his Thiel/Curtis Yarvin connections. Or how he endorsed the book The Unhumans, FFS.

          And I bet few have read The Nerd Reich or have read - or at least read about - The Sovereign Individual…

    Just trying to distance himself from the most unpopular part of the current admin so his presidential campaign isn’t a total joke.

    Spoiler: it will be a total joke.

    So when does Trump flee to Tel Aviv and leave this bumbling couch-fucker in charge? God, that would be hilarious.

    Its hard for people to believe that its literally everything about themselves that is the problem.
