“If I have to create stories so that
the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American peoplewe win, then that’s what I’m going to do.”Yea, we already knew that JD, thanks.
Right? I get that some of middle America feels slighted, and I’m all for preventing the hollowing out of small town America, but I don’t see lying xenophobic scapegoating being the answer here. That’s how you get nationalist parties and paramilitary “cultural enforcement” groups.
Instead, I see a need to foster and fund community organizations and civil engagement. Improved infrastructure and green spaces. More affordable housing - bring people back into the towns rather than the outskirts of it. But unfortunately, oddly, for some reason, that’s not as easy of a sell as the “people be eating your pets” trope.
They think it’s “smart people’s” fault, and those college educated, holier-than-thou smarty pants folks with their big words and fancy wine-sippin’ need to be punished. I think a lot of them know they’re being misled, they just don’t really care.
They know we hate Trump, and so that’s a good enough indication that he must be the solution. Very simple-minded stuff.
In philosophy, ressentiment (/rəˌsɒ̃.tiˈmɒ̃/; French pronunciation: [ʁə.sɑ̃.ti.mɑ̃] ⓘ) is one of the forms of resentment or hostility. The concept was of particular interest to some 19th-century thinkers, most notably Friedrich Nietzsche. According to their use, ressentiment is a sense of hostility directed toward an object that one identifies as the cause of one’s frustration, that is, an assignment of blame for one’s frustration.[1] The sense of weakness or inferiority complex and perhaps even jealousy in the face of the “cause” generates a rejecting/justifying value system, or morality, which attacks or denies the perceived source of one’s frustration. This value system is then used as a means of justifying one’s own weaknesses by identifying the source of envy as objectively inferior, serving as a defense mechanism that prevents the resentful individual from addressing and overcoming their insecurities and flaws. The ego creates an enemy to insulate themselves from culpability.
So this is surely enough grounds to sue, if not criminally prosecute, this cunt.
If someone gets hurt I hope they do. Because they do this maliciously.
Someone’s taking the piss out of it on google, got a laugh
I wonder what it’s like to be a Haitian living in Springfield right now, seeing people relentlessly posting uncritical memes about the former president’s racist lies, while various schools, businesses, and government offices are closed day after day due to threats of violence…
Can’t log in anymore without seeing weird photoshops of cats and dogs being cooked and eaten. TikTok is covered in people dancing to remixes of Trump’s racist comments. I’m sure this is all helping /s
At what point is the libel? Could every Haitian living in the US join a class action to sue vance?
At no point would anything Vance says be considered libel.
Slander however…
I thought his boss hated “fake news”
What a horrible response. Wtf is wrong with that party.
When you’re in a hole, dig harder!
No wonder they matched him with JT.
He’d draw on a weather map with a sharpie too,
Literally do and say anything, no matter how ridiculous, to not ever admit a mistake.
If lying, restructuring my entire identity by throwing all my values overboard, or undermining the foundations of democracy in order to gain more power is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
If God didn’t want us to fuck couches, why did he make them so goddamn sexy?
Preach 🛋️🙌
At most, claim it was sarcasm, just a joke.
Fixed it.
If the American people are not suffering, I am just gonna say they are suffering so the media pay attention to their nonexistent suffering.
Imagine a President Vance. Compare to a President Waltz. Either would be possible.
I have been to Springfield, Oh. I delivered heavy equipment to the city administrators. The place has no drama.
Not until now where they’ve been getting bomb threats to SCHOOLS and HOSPITALS.
repugnicunt terrorists that will face zero consequences…
Republicans have such a talent for saying things that really make you hate that theyll never see your response.
“Pay attention to me! NOW!”
That is unbelievably irresponsible.
When the inevitable killings start, will they keep doubling down?
Well, I can do that too, couch fucker.
