Understand that @JDVance is a man who, as a full-grown adult in his 30's, said Trump was Hitler and there was something wrong w those who supported him. You don't go from "Hitler" to his VP. This is not a normal person. This is a hyper-ambitious opportunist w zero credibility.
A big Trump defeat in November creates space for a new vision that holds together the anti-Trump coalition. This coalition is the newest and fastest growing “base” in our politics and, while it spans a lot of disagreement all the way from Haley/DeSantis voters to conservative Biden Ds, there are clear principles that can hold us together after Trump is gone. It isn’t a return to Reaganism—it’s something new. And the country badly needs it.
That’s the bigger project. And it’s part of why defeating Trump in November is so important.
@SouthernKeeks Maybe…
But a vote is not an automatic embrace of any particular principle.
It’s not like joining a church or signing a contract.
Every so often, you have a chance to pull your weight in a tug-of-war for the common good.
A vote is your best guess about which direction to pull.
9. What evidence? The coverup.
The coverup is the tell.
He knows he’s acting weird, so he covers it up by saying he’s not weird. He knows he’s rambling, so he covers it up by saying he’s not rambling.
This is what people with dementia do.
@SouthernKeeks One problem with this, besides the fact that it needs to be said at all, is that we live in a capitalist democracy and we have a pretty strong & recent set of indicators that the majority of votes and/or dollars belong to the mockers/bullies, not the reasonable/emotional folk.

Part of my first day as a combat replacement in Iraq, was the memorial ceremony for Cpl Jason Dunham. He leaped on a grenade to absorb its blast and save his fellow Marines. He made the Ultimate Sacrifice. Not even close to the same award Rush Limbaugh got. F all the way off.
In which Elon says he was “tricked” into forcibly sterilizing his son because of the “woke mind virus.”
How could anyone “trick” you into a decision of this weight? And how could you then blame it on others? And why would you share it like this? Bizarre.
.@MarcoRubio in 2016: “For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.”
One of the biggest obstacles to Christian witness in the US is not a “worldly secularism” as we often think of it, but a “Christian secularism” which is shaped by the flag, the gun, and the dollar, tragically in the name of Jesus.
