    If she wants to brainwash and destroy the mind of children, she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone,” he said

    These quotes aren’t random gaffes. Vance has some bizarre, Puritanical views on women. Barefoot and pregnant kinds of views.

    Trump is a clown in decline with no future. Vance is the would-be leader of the Gilead envisioned in Project 2025. Under his eye.

      And he’s the one insisting on not leaving the rest of us the hell alone. Projection, as usual.

      It’s also more projection. They are so focused on indoctrinating children that they believe Democrats must be doing it as well. Everyone must be doing it.

      Please don’t say Trump is in decline. Plenty of people thought Trump had no chance of winning in 2016. He is a serious threat and should be treated like one until at least 10 years after his death.

    This guy is way too interested in other people’s reproduction. It’s fucking weird.

    Like two or three generations ago, they fired female teachers who had kids. Also, he’s Catholic. I know he’s an adult convert and so mega weird — adult converts are usually just attracted to the hierarchy and lore instead of the charity and service parts — but he should at least know about nuns teaching school.

      My experience is that adult converts to Catholicism mostly do so because you can’t be married in a Catholic church if you’re not Catholic and their spouse is Catholic. Which is to say, it’s disingenuous.

        The idea is simply that the female of the species should be considered a brood mare and nothing more. More meat for the grinder. Do these people not have wives, daughters, mothers, to give them some feedback about what they’re doing wrong? I know, brainwashed. But still.

    Vance when talking about other people’s genitals: filling podcasts and tv interviews

    Vance when talking about anything else: “how long have you been working here? ok, good.”

    He’s also a venture capital tech bro who has no clue how difficult it is to raise children in a teacher’s salary. Useless marketing interns in his industry make more money than teachers.

    Many teachers don’t have kids because they simply can’t afford it.

        To be specific, he’s admitted he was “tricked” into thinking he was gay in the past. It’s pretty clear he’s actually gay, but he has a breeding fetish.

          Yeah I gotta say, as a straight person, there was never a time I thought I was gay. If this dude thought he was gay as a teen, well, maybe it’s ok to finally come out.

          I stand by that he’s bisectional. He’s attracted to human men and couch women.

          But for real, yeah, obsession with breeding is a common thing for conservative gay people in denial. Now one thing I’ll say to his credit is those people are rarely in mixed race marriages, so good on him for not being as racist as I’d expect of someone like him. The bar really is in hell.

      I think the guy can only really plan for the future by seeing his children only as extensions of himself. Someone without children can’t do that mental gymnastics so why should they care?

    Vance walks the fine line between weird and creepy. But it’s not the “Autistic kid who gets mistaken for quiet kid” creepy that I and others like me have.

    It’s “If I don’t sniff your feet the world is coming to an end.” Creepy

    People who are this weirdly repressed and creepy about sex and reproduction almost always have something very dark in their past and/or present. I will not be surprised if we find out he has coerced teenage boys and/or girls into sex or something just as fucked up.

      Why on earth would anyone choose to describe themselves as a “right winger” (unless you play hockey)?

      Are you insanely wealthy? Or do you just hate other people and like pulling the ladder up behind you?

        It’s always hate.

        Sort of like how atheists only disbelieve in one more God than a Christian, anti-Trump right-wingers only hate one more person than a Trump supporter.

          That’s not right wing. Do not allow right wingers to hide in the shadow of your reasonable political views by assuming their identity. Call yourself a market capitalist, a liberal, or even a Reagan-era Republican if you believe that is what your views align to and are speaking in an American context, but don’t let yourselves be used to rehabilitate the image of the right wing. They will only take that as a permission structure to hold more and more heinous views while pointing at you and others like you and saying "see, we are reasonable people with serious political positions that deserve a voice at the table. They don’t represent you, so why give them leverage to claim that they do?

      I think the part where you’re a fascist (defacto assumption by anyone self-identifying as a “right winger” in 2024) would make him accept you as an ally, even if you are childless, just as this little admission prevents me from ever accepting you as an ally, even if you are anti-Trump.
