[politics] I don't have many people in my circle who don't share roughly the same worldview as I do. But this one person who used to be very important to me, who I know to be a good and fair person, has been completely MAGA-pilled and posted this:
And I can't stop thinking about it
Because 1) seriously LOOK AT THEM even if you don't want to vote for Walz JD VANCE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE'D STOP YOU FROM BEING MUGGED
and 2) just... part of me really wants to know how a good woman, a Christian, a Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek fan, the woman who helped guide me through my adolescence, believes this shit
And we're not close anymore so I don't feel I can approach her. But part of me wants to, not because I think I can change her mind, but just to try to understand
Does she know that people like me, and my friends and family, are actively harmed? I think she must genuinely believe that the Dems are the ones Doing Harm. But I wish I understood
Yes Tim "Mind Your Own Damn Business" Walz would call the HoA. Not JD "I've changed my name 3 times, and call myself a hillbilly but grew up in MIDDLETOWN OHIO" Vance
I do not understand
Baffling
but you're obviously also a hillbilly what do you know
Middletown bro
Walz would not live in a place with an HOA ffs
(neither would I)
I'd love to drag Vance to my actual hillbilly relatives.
hahaha film it
the irony is we've got actual evidence that contradicts the above
which is why the original meme works and her edit is dumb
Vance cut off his queer friends, while Walz headed the GSA because he's a basic white dude
That's just so fucked up on so many levels
...the screenshotted post is literally inverting an original tweet that’s been going around.
which is pretty on point for the MAGA brand
yep
I don't get it either. It's really like we live in different worlds.
mistakesweremade: oh I know
And like I said, it's fine if you funny AGREE with Walz or whatever
but what are you smoking if you think that's his vibe?
but what are you smoking if you think that's his vibe?
Honestly, they probably aren't putting more thought into it than a playground "No, you!" reversal.
I doubt they actually know much of anything about Walz, he's just the guy on the other team.
That's probably true
JD Vance is the guy who'd call la migra on your gardener
yuuuup
Yeah I think they switched the names around there.
oh they definitely did
it's just hard to see how you could even say that as a joke
