I thought we were unhappy women who only had cats as friends.

Now we are wolves.

I cannot keep up with this so can we compromise and be cheetahs or something?

[-] 31337@sh.itjust.works 67 points 4 weeks ago

It's the same, "enemy is simultaneously weak and strong" rhetoric characteristic of fascism.

Perhaps there are two Democrats inside of you.

Wait, do those two internal Democrats have internal Democrats themselves? Does that make every Democrat a fractal?

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 13 points 4 weeks ago

The "enemy," to people like him, are always both pathetic jokes and a horrific threat that needs to be eliminated.

edit: oops someone already said what i did

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 12 points 4 weeks ago

Just don’t be his couch…

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

I think we established Republicans are cheaters a while ago.

He was having so much fun the past couple years doing these little essays on how Dems should be murdered, but it's catching up to him now on the actual campaign trail. This isn't your right wing bubble, couch fucker, voters are going to hold you accountable. We should just die? Not going to happen, "JD".

[-] MediaSensationalism@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

Couch fucker voters will most certainly not hold him accountable. That's one demographic J.D. has in the bag.

Wonder how the republicans would act if we went around saying they are vermin who should be slaughtered.

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 4 weeks ago

They would be all "now is a time for unity, and the fascist Democrats threaten our Republic"

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 56 points 4 weeks ago

Gosh, nothing weird at all about talking about millions of Americans in the same way the Nazis talked about Jews, gypsies, communists, leftists, unions, POC, LGBTQ, etc....

"Stop calling them weird, you guys!!!" - The Tone Police

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 13 points 3 weeks ago

ThE dEmOcRaTs aRe ThE rEaL fAsCiStS!

So anyway.... we should kill all Democrats amirite?

[-] Hazzia@infosec.pub 48 points 4 weeks ago

An apex predator responsible for keeping the ecosystem balanced and with minimal pest animals that will harm the environment by consuming too many resources?

[-] frezik@midwest.social 15 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I think he might be giving the Democrats too much credit, there.

[-] some_guy 8 points 3 weeks ago

You know, the ones that people have on sweatshirts and pillows and junk.

[-] NOPper@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

There are two Democrats inside me.

[-] vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 4 weeks ago

Speak for yourself. I’m 30-50 feral hogs.

I wish the democrats were wolves.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 3 weeks ago

Just a reminder that there is a pretty high chance that this guy becomes president given Trump's age.

[-] Joeffect@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

This is his plan, if not that claim trump is unfit to hold office and take his spot. He doesn't interview like he's in it for VP he interviews like he is going to be president and it's weird.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

And likely intends to do so for life.

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 4 weeks ago

Is it only the men who are wolves? He established the women as cat ladies, but are they also wolves?

I’m starting to think the JD Vance extended universe has no internal logic.

The left really need to tone down the rhetoric.

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 20 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah man, compare us to the predatory pack animals that cull other species and re-balance ecosystems.

We're coming for you.

[-] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 4 weeks ago

I thought the neckbeards fancied themselves wolves among sheep

This will not hurt him, if anything it will ingratiate him with the magoos. They eat this shit up.

Imagine the fucking hypocrisy... Hillary says essentially "half the magas are a basket of deplorables" they cry foul and self select into that group, but then they go on about killing Demonrats and that's totes ok.

There was an asshat in Texas (I think) a few years back that said "the only good Democrat is a dead one" and the crowd went nutty cheering. Then he realized what he said and backtracked "I mean... Politically dead. You know the media will just twist my words." Too late fucker, the audience went nutty over the thought of killing Democrats.

“The old conservative movement argued if you just got government out of the way, natural forces would resolve problems—we are no longer in this situation and must take a different approach,” Vance continues. “As Kevin Roberts writes, ‘It’s fine to take a laissez-faire approach when you are in the safety of the sunshine. But when the twilight descends and you hear the wolves, you’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.'”

Roberts himself has recently called for a “Second American Revolution” — a modern-day repeat of the eight-year conflict that killed between 25,000 and 70,000 Americans. Roberts himself said that the second revolution will be “bloodless” but only “if the Left allows it to be.”

But if I take them at their word and start advocating "get them before they get you", I'm the bad guy.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Conservatism is a plague of death that is long overdue for a cure.

Jorkin DePeanus Vance should be smothered to death with a couch cushion.

JD Vance has real "rejected from art school" vibes. Though I somehow suspect his villain origin story is even stupider than that.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

So sayeth the sheep.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

It's too bad these guys cannot just be treated like an internal ISIS - because that's what they are, only the threat is much, much greater.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I don't understand, did he write multiple forwards to Project 2025 books? Why do we keep getting random headlines to single lines that he wrote for one piece?
