Vance worked his way out of poverty through discipline, hard work, military service and the GI Bill. I am sure many democrats think it is weird for someone to work themselves out of reliance on Government handouts.

Vance‘ mother was a drug addict, who didn’t even raise him, that should be quite normal to Democrats.

This is America’s Final Exam. We’ll see if they’ve learned anything. Frankly, I’m not optimistic.

Not only weird, it's a threat to their very existence of relying on votes from increasing welfare recipients..

Exactly! Well, almost exactly. You misspelled "weird". :)

I’m weird. You’re weird. JD Vance and Trump are weird. Kamala is weird. Everyone is a little bit weird.
This entire line of attack is weird.

“almost exactly. You misspelled “weird”.”

That must have been hard to do because this Freerepublic message box catches the misspelling. I tried it.

9am speech scheduled. It’s 9:19 right now.

Hitler tactic. Start late. People get antsy. Then show up and there’s more excitement. It’s good for when the zingers in the speech come out.

It’s 9:21 right now.

Look at who the accusations of Vance being weird are coming from - some of the biggest weirdos on the planet (leftists, of course).

“9am speech scheduled. It’s 9:19 right now.”

I think the start of some events is delayed until after the entire audience is seated so security people have time to observe it before the speakers appear on stage.

This is a good piece. I didn’t really “get it” regarding the attacks on him until now. The author is right. It’s JD’s intellectualism that they’re attacking. It’s a cynical play from a party that takes for granted 90% support from university professors, but hypocrisy has never bothered them.

When this whole thing started, I thought JD Vance would be spending his time defending himself while Sergeant Timmy would be Kamala's attack hyena.

Imagine my pleasant surprise, that JD Vance is a superb orator, a brilliant debater, and the perfect man for President Trump to have on his ticket. In contrast, Sergeant Timmy has been spending too much time defending himself from his Stolen Valor/Bullsperm drinking/Communist Chinese-tripping/COVID paintgun shooting Commie antics.

I’ve been thinking about this “weird “ thing. I was raised around a lot of route 23 “hillbillies in Ohio. I think JD might have been a little hard on some of them. To me they were hard working people who loved their families intensely and would fight to the death to protect them. Now democrats who write books like “Heather has Two Mommies” and go to drag shoes and believe in 62 genders are a little bit “weird” to me. The male transportation secretary trying to breastfeed a baby and luggage stealing cross dressers also seem a little weird to me. I feel much safer with white and black blue collar workers who try to earn a decent living and come home to their normal families.

I noticed my misspelling after I posted when it was too late to fix it.
