"Vance is a champion at taking popular positions like “Give a tax break to parents” or “It’s nice when grandma helps babysit the kids” and reframing them in the most divisive 4chan/incel coded language possible. That’s how you get the phrase ‘sole purpose of post menopausal females’. He is genuinely steeped in far-right online insanity. That’s his culture. It’s why he can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth and it’s why the weird attacks work - he’s genuinely a weird freak who can’t stop spouting overly online nonsense."

I veer back and forth between this ^^^ and thinking that the 2016, Trump-critical, JD Vance is the real one, and part of the reason he comes off so fucking weird now is that he's trying to comport himself like a Trump bro, and that MAGA chitin just sits uncomfortably on his bug-like frame. and everyone can see it.

Sounds like a Wes Anderson movie or something.
