‘America is run by childless cat ladies’ JD Vance

Of course cats were associated with witches ..

This. And I don't even like cats.

This is fascist playbook 101.

Control the children by controlling the teachers by controlling their children.

What do you think would happen the the children of a teacher caught promoting reproductive rights ? They would be removed from a "dangerous" environment.

Has a whiff of Goebbels about it - pretty sure you'll find it buried in his writings.

Wait till they come for the second amendment (Goebbels said there was no need for anyone to own a gun if it wasn't in service of the state).

he does seem to be overly concerned about other people's reproductive state doesn't he?

Honestly, 3 months ago I thought it was a shoo-in for Trump to win. Now, I'm honestly not so sure.

I think this guy was a terrible pick, and the Harris campaign seems to be picking up. Trumps whole ammo seemed to have been focused on "biden is old" - I'm baffled how they've been so stuck ever since!

Republicans are just weird“

Oh ya, and kinda funny lookin’!

Loving the photos of Walz and his glorious cat 😸

He will become a big problem for Trump. Vance comes across intelligent- but he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about. His wife trying to defend his comments doesn’t look good either.

I am getting old ! It's only just filtered through about men using cats in attacks on women for centuries ... it must be some primal thing

Why do men never stop to consider why we prefer cats to them?

They have been this way for years. It's just people accepted it as the new normal.

Only now a new generation is springing up, and they are finding it all a bit ... weird.

I mean state intrusion into your period tracking apps so they can stop you going out of state for an abortion ? That's like .. normal ?

Inspecting kids genitals before sports events ... that's normal ?

WTF? What is going on with the Republican Party in America? Have they totally lost the plot?🤯

A lot of them sell their souls like this. It's horrendous.
If we ignore the silliness about cat ladies, what their supporters really mean is that they absolutely don't want ANY women in a position of authority. If they see just one woman in such a position, it's one too many - they see that as "women taking over". An awful lot of them want us to look pretty and be obedient housewives. I have no doubt that some of them would be very happy with a law preventing women having paid employment.

Yup, that's right. As long as you have your procreation licence stamped and up to date (with corresponding medical evidence), you'll still be allowed to vote.

For now.

Republicans are just weird.

JD Vance’s wife said he only meant to insult people who choose not to have kids. So that’s alright then.

🤣

Us cat ladies are very much used to dealing with obstinate grumpy dictators. A very useful skill.

I think Biden was always planning to drop out and give Harris the opportunity But I suspect they waited until Trump had chosen a poor VP, so now they can really hit him where it hurts.

Until Biden dropped out, Trumps whole campaign was "he's an old man, he can't do the job" (despite being only 3 years younger). Now they've got stuck with someone with no experience, and they can't use their entire planned campaign strategy.

Instead, they are now up against a prosecutor who might be selecting someone who used to work for NASA as her VP. It's fucking genius.

I also read somewhere (probably Reddit, so not sure how true it is) that Trump selected Vance because he was a favourite of Musk, and they wanted Musk to carry on donating to their campaign.

The wrong pick for VP; doesn’t bring in any more voters than Trump already had.

Yea a misogynist like many a right wing politician; but Trump is the “grab em by the pussy” president so it’s more of the same.

I'm amazed today, the stuff about Trump claiming "is Kamala Indian or Black?" - this coming from the man who constantly calls himself Scottish - literally how is it any different? Other than he's showing himself to be a huge racist

I hadn't seen a photo of JD Vance until now. He looks like an odd AI mashup of Noel Edmunds and Phil Mitchell.

And yes, Joe Biden's only 3 or so years older than Trump! Trump's got such a gut on him too, I don't think he looks at all healthy.

Better childless cat ladies than Trump [or Vance given Trumps age and mental competence/chance of prison]

JD Vance's name changes are more the result of his mother's serial marriages than anything more sinister.

What is it with the likes of right wing nut jobs and their name changes (like Tommy Robinson/Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon/Andrew McMaster/Paul Harris/Wayne King/Stephen Lennon)?

JD Vance seems to have run through a fair few names too: according to Wikipedia. James David Vance was born James Donald Bowman, later known as James David Hamel and is now known as JD Vance.
