I have not seen anything like the Vance implosion in US politics, ever. I’m in my mid 50s so my memory goes back as far as Reagan. I’ve seen lots of self inflicted wounds. Many gaffes, scandals etc. I’ve seen many bad VP candidates.
This is orders of magnitude beyond any of that.
JD Vance is a disaster. His special blend of negative personal charisma, flawed judgment, tactical incompetence, nonexistent moral compass and truly repugnant viewpoint is beyond compare.
If you were to design a human with as few redeeming qualities as possible you might end up with JD Vance.
I’m enjoying the flameout and couch memes are funny but otoh it’s an indictment of my country that this man is so close to power.
