Another Answer To A Facist Commentator

When you are raised in a broken, violent home,

I wonder how many People of Color or, in fact, people who are Democrats you'd use that as an excuse for, but I don't have to wonder very hard because I've been reading your comments for a number of years now.  You wouldn't.  It strikes me that Vance's upbringing, father left the family, mother decided to send him home to her folks,  raised mostly by his grandparents was held far more against Barack Obama. 

I will not go into whether or not the portrait of his family "JD" (no Democrat who had changed their name multiple times would ever, ever be allowed to live that down, "JD" hasn't gotten any real flack from it) is true or not because I have never seen any verification of it or refutation of the accusations that he misrepresented it.  As is generally the case with middle-class and, especially, upper-class straight, white men he rather unexceptionally landed on his feet.   From what I've seen, his "Hillbilly" book would seem to be what so much memoir is, more of a novel than reliable.

and then actually go to a war zone, (and not just brag about doing it when you really retired early to avoid it) yeah, sometimes you don't ever recover and act, "normal."


My father was wounded in battle during WWII and had a permanent disability.  He grew up hard-scrabble in the lower class suburbs of Philadelphia to parents who never went past 8th grade in a family riddled with alcoholism and he "recovered" and could act, "normal."  But, then, he had empathy for those who weren't as fortunate as he was, detested self-pity in himself,  and he wasn't in the habit of lying about his past to suck up to billionaires like Peter Theil and millionaire criminals like Donald Trump hoping to get an escalator ride to the top.   He never would have written a memoir so as to promote a picture of himself, he'd never have exposed his family, subjecting them to false charges and shame in the way that a Vance or a Clarence Thomas did.

Of course, if he was Dem, and filming himself fucking whores, doing crack, knocking up strippers and abandoning them and the baby...

You'd defend him because that [D] is all that matters.


Give me names and let's see who I've defended with that CV because they were Democrats.  I doubt anyone's been harder on Bill Clinton, that is without lying about what we know he did.  If it's Hunter Biden I'd point out I've said if he were guilty of any crimes and convicted of them, I'd have no problem with him going to prison for it.  So, who is it you're referencing so salaciously?

Yes, I know Hunter, despite Joe's best efforts, isn't running for anything.

"Despite Joe's best efforts?"  When has Joe Biden ever, ever suggested that his son Hunter run for office?  When has he promoted him as a candidate for even appointed positions?  Unlike your man-god, Trump who put his gangster son-in-law and daughter (no Democrat could so creepily and incestuously drooled over his daughter and gotten the nomination of the Democratic Party like Trump did) into actual positions of power.  Not like the Bush would-be dynasty who ratfucked the 2000 election with the help of five out of the seven Republicans on the Supreme Court.  Not like many others I could name.  The Sununu family of N.H. for example. 

But if he were, your defense would be identical. Hell, you were one of the true believers who thought Biden's cognitive decline was a media myth! You probably believe he dropped out of his own accord and without any persuasion.

And I thought Republicans who called Bush II intelligent were naïve.


What about the ones who believe Trump or, for that matter, Vance are smart enough to be president?    Vance ain't exactly a Thomas Jefferson,  or a Barack Obama, generally considered two of the smartest to have ever been president.  Though I'd put Lincoln and Biden a lot higher than they're put in those rankings, they generally get the stupidest ones in the lower positions. 

While intelligence can be useful, it's more important to be good.  I've never known of a good person people would think the world would be better off without, I can name hundreds of smart people who would go on that list.   J. D. Vance is not in any danger of goodness, his self-promoting hypocrisy alone would ensure that. 

I've called-out the current moral situation of the Republican Party in terms of total and complete amorality of the kind that the Republican tech-bros like Thiel, the degenerate anti-democrats of the Heritage Foundation, the Leonard Leo, billionaire financed court capture groups demonstrates so fully.  Trump is, beyond any doubt, the stupidest man to have ever been made president.  Previous contenders such as Andrew Johnson, Warren Harding, Cal Coolidge, didn't have the generally debilty of those raised on American TV, movies and time-wasting. reality dissolving internet to work with.  Yet you think Trump, beyond doubt among the most criminal of men ever to get the presidency, the only one actually convicted of felonies, should become our dictator, as he has stated he intends to be and which the present day Roberts Court has made a real possibility. 

Your party went from a proto-fascist party under Nixon to an indisputably fascist party under Trump.  That's the truth of it.  It is Nixon harnessing America's indigenous fascism of white supremacy after Johnson got the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts passed that paved the way for Trumpism.   Though there were Republicans who peeled off after Nixons' crimes, as the crimes of the Bushes and the policies of Reagan were made manifest, anyone who didn't peel off before or even after Trump's actual intentions, acts and character were known is, in fact, a fascist.  Including the entire Republican caucus of Congress and the Republican-fascist majority on the Supreme Court.  If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz don't win this election, if Democrats don't control the Congress, American democracy is dead.  Even America as an anti-democratic republic is dead.  And you're OK with that.

  1. And the race card is the first one you play.

    You're beyond parody at this point.

    The irony is of your lengthy response is, I don't even like Trump. I'm not voting this year.

    And I heard the same nonsense about "democracy" dying when Bush II won in '04. And when Trump won in '16. Good business, I guess, predicting the end of the world.

    1. I'm sure you don't begin to appreciate the irony of YOU saying that.
      You don't like Trump.
      Uh, huh. I see.
      When it's Republican-fascism in 2024, RACE IS WHERE IT ALWAYS BEGINS. It is and has been a white supremacist party starting in 1964 when the former Dixicrats started their takeover. The idiot old-money thought they could control them but they were all in on race baiting starting with the Goldwater campaign and even more with the criminal, Nixon, the racist Reagan, the Willie Horton Bush I. Bush II made a gesture of dialing that back but he was all in on it in the end. Even John McCain's campaign used it against Obama as did Romney, and if they hadn't virtually the entire Republican caucus of the Congress and in the states did. You inherited the old-line racists whose great grandparents voted Democratic in the past, they're yours, buddy.
      Bush II appointed Roberts and Alito, both of whom voted to turn the United States into a despotism instead of a republic, former Republican Constitutional scholars have said that's what they did. They did that at a time when they had very good reason to believe that Trump would regain the presidency when they not only knew he said he was prepared to rule as a dictator, his actions in trying to overturn the 2000 election to stay in power proves they knew he was prepared to do it.
      Bush I appointed the massively corrupt Clarence Thomas who is probably the most white supremacist "justice" on the court since the early decades of the 20th century by his voting record.
