Other than Kamala Harris’s team, I’m not sure who watched or listened to JD Vance’s interview with Joe Rogan on Thursday. Kamala HQ did more to spread clips of the interview than any other social media account. In the final days, it definitely seems like Harris’s campaign is like “no, listen to what these men are actually saying.” For the Trump campaign, Vance’s interview was probably intended as a do-over, considering Trump’s Rogan interview was such a catastrophe. The only reason Trump’s Swiss-cheese-brain utterances on Rogan’s show weren’t headline news for days is because few people cared enough to listen to the whole damn thing. I assume the same is true of this Vance interview.
Vance suggested that wealthy parents might go so far as to coerce their children to undergo gender surgeries to get into better colleges and universities.
“If you are a middle-class or upper-middle class white parent, and the only thing that you care about is whether your child goes into Harvard or Yale, obviously that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper-middle class kids,” he said, adding that “the one way that those people can participate in the DEI bureaucracy in this country is to be trans.”
Vance later argued that he wouldn’t be surprised if Trump won “the normal gay guy vote because again, they just wanted to be left the hell alone.”
Vance told Rogan that he was mini golfing with his family in Ohio when he learned that Trump had been shot in the ear during his Butler, Pa. rally in June.
“I actually thought they had killed him because when you first see the video he grabs his ear and then he goes down,” Vance recalled after seeing the video of Trump’s July 13 rally. “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, they just killed him.’ At first I was so pissed, but then I go into like fight or flight mode. I grab my kids up, throw them in the car, go home and load all my guns. And basically stand like a sentry in our front door, and that was my reaction to it.”
Ah, yes, every middle-class white parent is like “my child must become trans to get into Harvard.” That’s absolutely 100% a thing which is happening all over the country, thanks, JD. The sh-t about Vance racing home from mini-golf to load his guns when Trump was “shot” is a bonkers story too. As for the “normal gay guy vote” – lmao, Vance thinks he appeals to gay men, doesn’t he?
Some clips of Vance’s interview:
Rogan: Roe was the law of the land and all of a sudden that had been taken away and you have these men trying to dictate what women can and cannot do with their bodies
Vance: Yeah, yeah… but you have women who go too far and try to celebrate it
Rogan: Very few do that pic.twitter.com/Yb7xmPMq74

Rogan: The concern is men are making decisions on what women can do. Some states have extreme laws that put women in vulnerable positions and if they go to another state, they could then be prosecuted. It’s concerning
Vance: I haven’t heard of this as something that actually… pic.twitter.com/fzjMEMyML6

I honestly don’t know if I’ll make it to Tuesday without having a nervous breakdown first, just hanging on by a thread. As a country how the f@ck did we get here?!
I don’t know. I can kind of figure out why my siblings are far-right (I know one is definitely all-in maga). The insistence that abortion is *the* issue is probably the biggest part. I was raised in a pro-life family and was against abortion myself back then, but the BS that gets spewed, the lies they tell, as if women get up and decide to get pregnant just so they can have an abortion.. My mother used to rant “If you don’t want to have a baby you shouldn’t have sex!” As if that’s the only scenario. She believed the a-hole who said women can’t get pregnant during rape because “the juices don’t flow.” I kid you not. All of this anger that she had when Roe V Wade became law in the early ’70s. I was not even 10 and this was stuff she yelled about at the dinner table.
Anyway, the whole “life is sacred” but only for fetuses. So holy.
Sorry for the long post, but the past few years have changed the last few ties I had to my remaining siblings.
💔
I’m with you on this. I’m having a hard time getting to slepe, my brain won’t stop racing about all of this. Doesn’t help I live in one of the swing states everyone is going nuts in. I don’t drink but there are days when a bottle of wine sounds lovely.
We got here as a country by taking the most absurd Trump statements and making them the punchline/headline rather than focusing on his hate-fueled vow to destroy the country by every means necessary. He met with billionaires and all we heard was a joke about a golfer.
Why ? Is he a normal gay guy? My opinion is he is a closeted weird gay guy.
Closeted very very weird gay guy with a lot of self-hatred.
And lots of eyeliner!
He probably thinks that the eyeliner will get them the LGBTQ+ vote.
Agreed!
Please watch the clip where he tells Joe Rogan a story about being able to see a guy’s “balls” – the giddy laughter – it is so disturbing and so telling. And you have to see Joe Rogan’s face! OMG
When Joe Rogan comes accross as the more decent person… my god. I know he was asking leading questions so Vance can dish up the misoginy and nazi agenda, but Vance’s presentation is so disturbing that even Rogan is stunned.
🎯
I know people who will agree with these absurd statements–not necessarily believe, just agree in order to support these scum; people I grew up with, people who continue to believe that only conservatives are good people. They believe that because of their stance on abortion and gay people. So hey, jd, are you sure you want to tell your good boy and girl conservatives that the gAyS are in your group?
It’s so distressing. People I once loved, and now, I don’t think so. I have no respect for them any more.
I wouldn’t say no one listened to the Trump Rogan interview… apparently it got 34 million listeners according to the Pod Save America guys. Maybe people just didn’t get the full effect because it was such a rambling interview? But still confused at why they’re sending Vance out when he’s such a charisma vacuum.
The fact that around fifty percent of the public is going to vote for them is mind boggling and depressing.
In other words we’d rather vote for anything with a pulse rather than a highly qualified black woman.
I just don’t know if I believe those numbers. I keep reading about these polls & I just can’t believe them. I cannot believe with all the hateful, wacked out stuff that trump and vance say that this is possible. I mean, what, am I supposed to cry for those poor baby upper middle class white kids who can’t get into their Ivy League school of choice? OK, fine, here we go, here’s my tear, wait for it, it’s coming, wait, wait, no, darnit it. I just can’t. Zero sympathy.
Instead of these middle class white kids hiding in their homes while their parents stand guard at the door with a stack of rifles because their candidate got shot at, maybe they should be doing their homework and studying for the next test so they would get good grades for college.
The only lessons they seem to be getting from their parents behavior is that all other people are dangerous–bad thing to be learning so early.
I’m sorry but doesn’t he have SS protection currently? His own campaign paid security? No way they would have let him drive home, grab guns and stand guard. He would have been taken somewhere safe.
I thought the same thing but it was before he was announced as the vp candidate, it looks like.
He sounds unhinged, and so freakishly obsessed with other people reproductive organs. Dude just mind your own business.
But that actually makes even less sense if he wasn’t the VP candidate yet?
No one knew who he was before joining the ticket! Like maybe some folks knew him as an author, and obviously a shitty senator, but why on earth would this Nobody assume “they shot the former president, next they’re coming for a lying memoirist and mediocre-at-best politician!” ?!?!
He’s such a liar. That story is just bullshit fiction start to finish.
That was also my thought process. He hadn’t even been announced as Trumps vp at the time so why would he be on any list to be next to be shot at? And what nimrod who thinks that he is potentially next to be shot at would return himself AND his family to the home that would be, in his eyes, a potential target? He’s basically saying that he’s so stupid to return himself and his family to a potential hotspot of danger but he’s somehow smart enough to lead an entire country if his dumber than rocks boss didn’t last an entire presidential term.
@DK — HAHAAHAAAhahahaa! 😂 🤣 “next they’re coming for a lying memoirist and mediocre-at-best politician!”
Thank you! I was so confused by this. There is just no way after a shooting attack on a presidential candidate that JD is going anywhere in a car on his own, much less to his own house to get all of his guns and then”stand sentry” at his own door. It’s actually laughable. His detail would have been on high alert, it’s more likely that they unceremoniously threw him into the back of a bulletproof car and frogmarched his ass to a fortified bunker.
Like WTF??? I guess he thinks this makes him look tough?
Exactly! He’s a lying liar, surprise surprise. I imagine him running to the car but not giving a damn about his kids and wife. He really seems like that guy to me.
Why would he terrorize his children like that? Why is he listening to the news while playing mini-golf with his kids? Lies, upon lies, upon lies.
Look, I know this guy is a sell-out, corrupt, loonie but how does he say sh*t like this without busting out laughing?
Hurry up and Go Away!
Psychopath?? People like these can justify anything. They don’t care who dies, or think that they deserve to die. No conscious whatsoever.
💯
Slightly OT, but can we please be done with tRump’s shooting incident. Cartilage doesn’t magically grow back, especially not within a few days.
What I’d like to know in this context: is Bowman Hamel Vance thinking about any particular normal gay guys? Like Lindsay Graham perhaps, or Richard Grenell? Or Peter Thiel? Because they’re anything but. They’re are extremist enablers.
And I’m convinced that Mr Guyliner Menscara himself is either bi or deep in the closet. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but maybe he shouldn’t be so loud as to what defines “normal gay” and what doesn’t, and why.
Re: DT getting fake shot in the ear:
“but then I go into like fight or flight mode. I grab my kids up, throw them in the car, go home and load all my guns. And basically stand like a sentry in our front door, and that was my reaction to it.”
Why was he standing guard the front of his home armed with guns? Who was he guarding them against before he was formally selected as the demons running mate? He is so full of shit; I can’t believe he’s not brown like his leader.
As if we needed more proof that he’s lying, he doesn’t even have kids, if I remember correctly. His wife does, but he is childless. Worthless, in other words, by his own standards.
oh lord, that is exactly right. “My wife has young kids.” That is a direct quote.
He’s unhinged.
Nothing tells me you have your finger on the pulse of the US electorate like … worrying aloud that upper middle class kids are being DEI’d out of Harvard admissions. What??? Talk to me about energy prices! Talk to me about student loans! Talk to me about farm subsidies! Food safety! Bank regulation! The environment! Crypto fraud! ANYTHING! He’s just so so unserious and out of touch.
And just… this imagery is so laughable. Rambo covered in weaponry and stayproof eyeliner, standing guard at the front door of his gated mansion. Give me a break.
“worrying aloud that upper middle class kids are being DEI’d out of Harvard admissions.”
The Supreme Court struck down Affirmative Action last year. So someone should tell him he’s safe from DEI hires for the time being.
The real issue for Bowman/Hamel/Vance is that he can’t get over the fact that he, himself, was a DEI admit to Yale Law School. As a resident of an underrepresented state, with a military background, and a compelling backstory, Vance was admitted to add geographic and cultural diversity to his YLS class. That must really grate on him.
JD is one really weird dude. I hope his biracial kids have whatever supports they need, especially as they get old enough to understand how very twisted JD’s perspective on parenting seems to be.
Hmmm. So, is vance saying his wife was a DEI admission to Yale? That should provide some interesting dinner table conversation.
Jesus where do you even start with this?? If this mini wanker continues with such strange notions, surely someone will fire him or something. Welll, in a normal world anyway. Just visualizing him grabbing up his guns lol if EVER a person should not be around firearms it’s this nitwit
I can’t believe there are millions of Americans that want this.
The first attempt was from a registered republican who voted republican. The second “one” was a registered republican who also voted republican. The THEY they keep speaking of is them or people like them who believe that the way you deal with things not going your way or losing a race is through violence. That’s why I’m this modern day in America THEY stormed the Nations Capitol and still believe that they have every right to do so even though lives were lost and countless people were injured.
Mediocre white men with fragile egos and repressed sexuality are the evil we all should have been warned about..
He really does look like that Chucky doll and is just as twisted.
He reaaaly cannot be our next President – though that is the plan. Dump Trump in front of a tv feeding him Big Macs and Cokes …. while Vance and Johnson and Musk and RFK and Project 2025 runs the country
Stay vigilant folks and VOTE BLUE
What a strange individual.
My neighbors are a married gay couple and they’re wildly MAGA. Signs and all!
The run home with the family to load up guns and stand guard of his home is some made up weirdo fantasy version of the right to bear arms I guess. No mention of making some calls to see if the orange creep was ok. Not that I care but wouldn’t that be the human thing to do to show concern? This guys a robot, a dangerous one.
He thinks his old silicon valley/crypto/vc circle are “normal gay guys”
