“Vice President” JD Vance opened his mouth again this week, and—true to form—what came out was classist, racially loaded, and dripping with the kind of smug nationalism that fuels exactly zero solutions. In an interview on Fox News, Vance defended Trump’s tariffs by saying America “borrows money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.”
1000x THIS. This administration sees all of the constituents as disposable. The disgusting bigotry and racism this political party embodies is appalling. I don't understand people who think this way!!!
recently, i read the book Unruly, about the monarchy in what is now the UK.
what strikes me as i read your article is how the author of Unruly emphasizes that the words “heathen” and “peasant” are both words referring to rural people.
my first thought is how the rural areas of the U.S. are what elected this nightmare.
my second is how both the church and the wealthy use similar words to demean people whom they see as inferior.
that leads me to the fact that the ukrainian language is similar to russian, but was the language of the people of the land, and thought to be inferior by the wealthy elites of russia. the first thing russia does with the kids it steals and the areas it annexes is to force everyone to speak russian.
it’s all connected and i appreciate your article for connecting those dots.
these jackholes keep telling on themselves because they’ve stopped hiding the quiet parts, such as their abject disdain for the 99% of us who line their pockets.
As far as this line you wrote goes: "But respect isn’t part of this administration’s vocabulary unless it comes in red, white, and blue." The only thing this administration respects is billionaires. And I'll bet you dollars to donuts they make fun of them, and disrespect them, behind their backs.
Recently watched a repub elite in an interview from December before the inauguration, as he was talking about trump’s upcoming whitehouse,he started to use the word “regime” instead of administration, but he caught himself and corrected.
The quoting of Goebbles speech, Vance’s repeated terminology, the elitist use of regime, it’s all indicative of the internal-language that’s been in play as they’ve been planning this out over the years.
It wouldn’t surprise me if these are occurring because this is the first major jaunt outside of their echo-chamber since their first administration - they’re really struggling to lock down enough discipline to use titles and terms that won’t generate this kind of attention and just can’t get the job done..
Listen closely to what folk have to say - they usually tell you exactly what they’re thinking - even when they think they aren’t.
JD thinks he’s next in line; ordained to be King. Peter Thiel is already audience-testing Usha replacements (younger, whiter, less educated, expert at eyeliner application). Usha & the kids will get an all expenses paid, cattle-car-rail-trip to The Camps.
AmeriKKKan Eulogy …. The good people of the world mourn the passing of the American empire … Once admired as the land of opportunity … now led by corrupt and reprobate minds …. The Protector of the free world … now aligns with the axis of evil and celebrates a season of depravity …. Fools, ignorant and greedy serve as foot soldiers …. Hopefully a moral society will return from the ashes.
This is spot on. He views ALL working class people with contempt. The billionaire class exploits the "peasants" right here in this country without batting an eye, and are actively working to lower living standards even more.
That man is a vacuous black hole where charisma and likeability go to die. How is he even in politics? He couldn't find the right words to say if they bit him on the ass!

Very good point!!!

What a fucking idiot. White supremacist asswipe.
Why do he and Thiel always look like they are dripping with flop-sweat? I mean, these motherfuckers are SHINY.
I’ve noticed that, too! Always sweaty 🤮
Silicon Valley oligarchs refer to us as NCPs - non character players - suppose that’s lower than a peasant ‼️

It’s going to take some time, but we will be back. We have to.
He is worse than cancun cruz as most repulsive life form; he wins because it is on a global scale of distaste; I wouldn’t want China mad at me.
Racist!
Arrogant is the word for Vance

I guess the proper course of action is to remove his vile tongue! That, or have him face a firing squad for treason and crimes against humanity.
