you can tell the average working class GOP voter that the people they’re voting for actively fucking despise non-billionaires–and yes that includes you–and they’ll say “yea but muh guuuuuuns and muh jeeeeeeeessus”

I bet JD Vance ruthlessly tears the tags off his furniture.

No surprise there.

More precisely, undoubtedly, the people and corporations that have given him big piles of money want to gut consumer protections.

It’s really very simple - the billionaires and the corporations want to take the US back to at least the 1950s, and preferably the 1880s. Their goal is to institutionalize a plutocratic autocracy under which they’ll be free to strip mine the mountains and clearcut the forests and drill baby drill and spew pollution everywhere with no expectation of social responsibility, so they’ll be entirely free to keep all of the profits to pay for their lives of grotesque privilege while we’ll be reduced to just being additional resources for them to exploit, with no liberties, no freedoms and no say in anything.

That’s why they bankrolled Project 2025, why they bought the Supreme Court and why they’re backing Trump and Vance (and the MAGA Republicans broadly). Each one of them is intended to play a role in destroying democracy and implementing autocracy, all toward the same goal - the plutocratic dream world in which everything is bent toward enriching the few at the expense of the many - of elevating the few on the backs of the many, and not just essentially by happenstance, as is the case already, but officially and by design.

Class war isn’t coming - it’s already here. The rich are already fighting it, and they’re winning.

If only he listened more to Mamaw, he might not be so fucking weird

“I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”

When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”

When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.

“JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.

The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”

“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

Amazing how these guys come right out and tell their people “we want you to be cheated out of your money” and those people lap it up.

The trucking industry has also been fighting the Environmental Protection Agency’s new emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks — another rule that Vance and his colleagues tried to kill.

You would think someone who wants people to have more children would want to preserve the environment and improve it. But I am sure people like this somehow want to believe that they will be immune to the negative consequences of such decision making. The environment impacts us all, you can’t live in an enclosure safe from the detrimental effects of a hostile or unlivable planet.

Fixed.

weird thing to want

All consumer protections do is keep dishonest business owners seperated from their customers… money.

What an amazing Family Guy™️

He’s a libertarian. Thinks government gets in the way of a libertarian utopia.
