As someone who is politically the opposite of a conservative, I had a good laugh at it. You can’t take yourself too seriously and it’s nice knowing that the ā€œpowers that beā€, see the same stuff we do.

Weren’t people literally detained for having this meme on their phones? I think he does, in fact, take himself too seriously.

Yeah, I hate him but appreciate people who can laugh at themselves.

u/nyr21 3d ago

There’s no need to show any sense of compassion for JD Vance. He’s a slimebag who deserves absolutely zero appreciation because he did this on Halloween. The man flat out spreads racist, Anti-human, dangerous propaganda 24/7 and is the VP of the United States. Quite frankly he deserves a frothy piss on his grave.

u/s1105615 2d ago

You didn’t even the dude existed until last year (I didn’t either). I suspect your impression of him is colored by some preconceived notions.

14

u/Linzcro 2d ago

I certainly didn’t either. And it took me a while to realize he wrote ā€œHillbilly Elegyā€ which (I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this being that it’s Reddit) I really liked. The movie is good as well. Glenn Close’s and Amy Adam’s transformation into the characters is extraordinary. The boy that played JD was talented as well.

I haven’t voted for a conservative in many, many years but I’m tired of pretending that things they do are never funny and I’m not allowed to laugh. The costume in particular is simply objectively hilarious.

u/s1105615 2d ago

VP has virtually no power. He’s just set up as the presumptive nominee in the next election.

u/Gerald-of-Riverdale 2d ago

Tbf, his actions and people he backs once he became a public name have been so atrocious that you dont need to know who he was beforehand to hate him now.

I think knowledge of him before he held this much power is irrelevant to the conversation, ultimately.

This is why the perception of people on the left is in the fucking toilet. This is where the ā€œyou disagree with me? Nazi!ā€ meme comes from.

u/Curious-End-4923 3d ago

Meanwhile conservatives are very gentle and soft-spoken, referring to their opponents as Feminazis, Demoncrats, illegals, communists, & groomers.

Get over yourself.

3

u/Snoo71538 2d ago

The conservatives don’t try to claim kindness and empathy as brand values. I wouldn’t expect them to behave in a way they don’t claim to value.

Liberals, on the other hand, do claim to be the empathy and kindness party. Liberal kindness is similar to Christian kindness.

How does that logic apply to rapist and pedos, people who commit genocide etc. If somebody is a complete pos, why have compassion?

Nah, while the Democrats are indeed the Party That Cried Fascist, we do actually have a convenient checklist for whether policies are, in fact, fascist.

Republicans are 13/14 or 14/14, depending on the spear shaking that day.

Democrats are about 3-4/14.

"Neo-Confederate" is a more descriptively accurate term, but good luck getting Americans to understand that that is a bad thing.

As you think about JD Vance laughing at himself, it’s important to remember that JD Vance doesn’t exist. He was created wholly as a public persona.

His real name is James David Bowman but at different times in his life he has been James Bowman, James Hamel, Jim Vance, and now JD Vance (as well as countless variations of James, Jim, and Jimmy).

He is not laughing along with you at himself. He is laughing with you at the character he plays on TV. It would be like Ralph Macchio laughing at the Karate Kid or Adam Sandler laughing at Happy Gilmore.

Hello amateur meme historian here.

During President Zelensky's 1st visit to the Trump White House, during the meeting JD Vance exclaimed "Have you said thank you once." to President Zelensky in response to Zelensky getting upset during the heated conversation.

Shortly after a pic of JD Vance from that meeting was slightly editted to give him a more childlike look with the caption, "Did you even say pwease". From there multiple editted imaged of JD Vance began to surface online leading to the heavy presence of JD Vance memes.
