Wake up, new JD Vance misogyny and racism just dropped
By 
It turns out that Peter Thiel’s kombucha brewer is a hateful creep:
Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, said that professional women “choose a path to misery” when they prioritize careers over having children in a September 2021 podcast interview in which he also claimed men in America were “suppressed” in their masculinity.
The Ohio senator and vice-presidential candidate said of women like his classmates at Yale Law School that “pursuing racial or gender equity is like the value system that gives their life meaning … [but] they all find that that value system leads to misery”.
Vance also sideswiped the Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a one-time Somali refugee, claiming she had shown “ingratitude” to America, and that she “would be living in a craphole” had she not moved to the US.
In an emailed response to the Guardian, Omar slammed what she called the “ignorant and xenophobic rhetoric spewed by Mr Vance” as “dangerous and un-American”.
Vance essentially represents the “mid-life crisis” stage of the evolution toward the “deranged Fox News grandpa” template reflected by his running mate, and for people on this path projection is an organizing ethos:
the problem for the self-proclaimed dissident right is that every guy who spends enough time in their circuit will be electoral poison if any of the stuff they say within their circuit leaks out https://t.co/LJva8OwrtQ— tim pool's inability to read (@Sharon_Kuruvila) August 31, 2024
