@ebeth360@EWErickson Option 1 - Being a contrarian is good for business. Option 2 - Livelihood is in being an establishment GOP commentator with neoconservative instincts. He's worried about losing a meaningful seat at the table if JD Vance takes control of the movement. Same as Podhoretz et al.
@Todd51723194@Brent_Hobbs Insane framing. As one who gets fatigued at all the very-online discussion of "female coded" and so forth among reformed/baptist crowds - this type of cringeworthy therapy speak just drives people to it.
@RobertD1017@resisfertile I don't think there is much of one. But worth noting the irony of someone obsessed with whether things are female-coded constantly seeking validation and attention on social media.
@davidharsanyi Yeah, everyone should. If the guy who said "maybe this is a bad idea" was handed minimal leverage and made something amazing out of it - yes, he should in fact get all the credit.
@KeenanPeachy Indeed. It’s an orchestrated thing. All the same accounts and voices started going knives out on Vance when he raised the objection to going in. And now it’s 10x when those same people realize it’s going to be a limited venture and he’s the public face of that move.
@SethTaylor1991 “No one’s faith makes them more or less American” in a post about how only cosplay Christianity is acceptable to fringe progressives in America is hilarious
