Is this seriously who some people are rooting for? Any woman with children who thinks they would be safe from him should know that any man who is so nasty about one group of women, usually hates women full stop.

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

🤣

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

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.

The truly awful thing is that (a) he's not a mouth breather, law degree from Yale, I believe, and (b) in 2016 he was a "never Trump" Republican who criticized Trump savagely. The vile comments are quite cynical appeals to the mouth-breathing base by someone who has sold his soul.

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.

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

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 ?

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

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

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.

Loving the photos of Walz and his glorious cat 😸

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!

Now he has a problem with teachers who don’t have kids. The guy’s obsessed with whether or not strangers have kids. He needs to be seen by a mental health professional.

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).

I feel like the childless cat ladies would do a better job to be honest. They’d get my vote.

This. And I don't even like cats.

SerendipityJane · 29/08/2024 20:48

Of course cats were associated with witches ..
