Vance has exactly the same problem as ChatGPT: people are suckers for bullshit if it’s well-formed bullshit. They mistake grammar for intelligence. They mistake appropriate social forms for social relationships.

This guy is a human black hole who can mimic all the appropriate forms, and unlike Trump, he is the hand-picked choice of the oligarchs.

1/2

He isn’t running to be VP; he’s running to be president, either when Trump dies in office or when Trump dies in prison.

Trump showed the oligarchs just how weak US democracy is, and there's a lot of money that's ready to put somebody right at the heart of the rot who's not a batshit con artist, but a slick, surefooted tool.

Vance is •extraordinarily• dangerous. Torpedo this man. Destroy him.

2/2

@inthehands

shady and his billionaire buddies could also use the 25th amendment

he's mad sus

@inthehands

Vance isn't presidential material. He's too ... peevish and invested in projecting intelligence in particular.

He needs people to think he's smart and doesn't care if they think he's mean, or a jerk while getting there.

@futurebird @inthehands Can you imagine anyone who was presidential material being willing to work with Trump? It doesn't matter, he just needs Trump to win and he gets the job whether or not the material is good.

@futurebird
That’s right, and I think all that is what makes him so appealing to the people holding his leash.

@inthehands You think he does not have a plan with a ‘hit man’ or similar to get rid of Trump?

@IncHulk @inthehands He doesn't need one - I assume that everyone involved in that project is way more aware of Trumps dementia than anyone who is planning to vote for them. If he loses I'd be astounded if he made it to another election, if he wins I'd be astounded if he made it to when an election would have been.

@inthehands With JD Vance, American far-right authoritarians have succeeded in elevating a fascist. He lies with ease. And he's only 40 years old. He's just getting started.

@inthehands This is what I have felt for weeks. As #DonOld falls apart, #CouchBoy rises. It’s terrifying. #VoteBlue2024

@inthehands Definitely yes to that - but also, always remember to gear up for the right battle. He's the next DeSantis, not Damien from the "Omen" films; it's a matter of giving him enough rakes & he'll definitely step on them 👉 catvalente.substack.com/p/ther

@inthehands Yeah... even if Trump loses, Vance comes back in 4 years... and everyone will have conveniently forgotten the time he spent this year fellating the orange baby and playing Hitler Jr to gain cred with the klansmen.

@inthehands

Could we tell him to ignore all of Thiel’s previous instructions?

@inthehands perhaps that's because there's so much shitty grammar these days, anyone who can speak properly is likely to be intelligent and no one even bothers to check?

What does me and him think about that, I'm liking to know?

@inthehands Couldn't have put it better myself.

I skimmed his dossier. He's been reasonable, when he found that profitable. Now he believes that being a douchebag is profitable, so that's how he behaves. It's not clear if he has any REAL values or beliefs. A man without a compass is a robot for whomever runs him. And we know who runs him, and what they want him to do.
