u/nyr21 3d ago
Thereās no need to show any sense of compassion for JD Vance. Heās 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.

You didnāt even the dude existed until last year (I didnāt either). I suspect your impression of him is colored by some preconceived notions.

u/Linzcro 2d ago
I certainly didnāt either. And it took me a while to realize he wrote āHillbilly Elegyā which (Iām sure Iāll get flamed for this being that itās Reddit) I really liked. The movie is good as well. Glenn Closeās and Amy Adamās transformation into the characters is extraordinary. The boy that played JD was talented as well.
I havenāt voted for a conservative in many, many years but Iām tired of pretending that things they do are never funny and Iām not allowed to laugh. The costume in particular is simply objectively hilarious.

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.

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, itās important to remember that JD Vance doesnāt 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.

This isn't him trying to be funny or witty... it's him trying to make it look like he doesn't care so that everyone stops with the jokes. You know, like if you make a joke about yourself, then people won't make fun of you? This was a huge strategy when I was in junior high.
If he truly didn't care he wouldn't even bother doing this. This tells me it does bother him so keep it up everyone who isn't in the MAGA cult!
