Trump got his yes-man. JD will do anything and everything Trump wants without question. Ugh. Please don’t let these two in the White House! Please!!! A barely functioning Biden is better than that any day!

So I just wrote a comment which could be taken as justifying vigilante violence, so here’s the flip side:

Does anybody still believe that this kind of switch results from careful, rational contemplation of the issues? Nah fam, this change by Vance makes sense when you realize that right-wing populism is a kind of mind-virus which attacks our figurative lizard hind-brain and overrides our rational faculties. It’s powerful and highly treatment-resistant because it weaponizes the fight-or-flight threat response against facts and reality.

Still, you’d think that with the advancing state of our psychological and pharmaceutical sciences, we’d be better equipped to take it on than during the last “pandemic” in the 1930’s. A global paroxysm of violence was required to stamp it out last time, and we’d all be so much better off with a direct treatment. I guess that that kind of response would require understanding and recognizing that it is a mind-virus, a.k.a. a meme in the OG, Dawkins sense of the word.

(Also, does anybody else feel like this guy is only on the ticket because his name is a single, strong syllable?)

Does this mean he vacates the seat? I sure hope so.
