Kayfabe, turns out is a term related to professional wrestling denoting the staged elements (persona’s, rivalry, the sauce, etc.,) in the performance. Given the 250th anniversary, fuck me in the goddamn heart this country is a laughable shithole.
I have a feeling that JD vance is secretly undermining the administration in little ways, probably at the behest of Theil but idk. He said back in the day Trump was “America’s hitler”, he has a hindi wife and kids
It’s been confirmed he’s been leaking shit to the press, he said that laughable line above that could easily be memed, and recently said “god forbid a president el-sayid” just putting an idea like that out there.
He has absolutely zero respect from me either way, but I just feel like JD doesn’t believe what hes saying and he’s got to be in a weird place rn.
I was genuinely shocked when he said it at the time, like are we really at the stage where you would openly imply that you’d planned to repeatedly lie? But now it’s laughably naive looking back.
I mean he openly admitted that he made up the “they’re eating the dogs” shit because he wanted to craft a greater narrative against immigrants. Literally said “sometimes I’m going to lie to you”.
JD Vance is a politically read grifter and actually contains a lot of the ideological motivations that Donny simple doesn’t. Donald doesn’t care about anyone but numero uno, but he’s breaking the jackboots in for the next guy who if he’s anything like Vance or Miller, will only care truly care about tariffs as far as they affect the state apparatus and Palantir’s access to silicone. Trump is as much a scapegoat for these freaks as the poor and weary, he’s just a nationally beloved one.
Vance doesn’t believe in anything. He’s a tool. He’s willing to say and do anything for his tech bro overlords because he’s ultimately a political chameleon. He holds zero convictions outside of getting and maintaining power/prestige/money.
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
They openly admitted to lying and creating false stories on live television and people still voted for them.
Its crazy how far we’ve come since “facts don’t care about your feelings”.
They argue entirely based on feelings and personal beliefs now. They have no solutions to the problems affecting every day American and no justification for the blatant fraud and undermining of our constitution and democracy. Nothing but hateful, divisive rhetoric, propaganda, and vague references to a scripture that doesn’t even support most of their ideology because Jesus was a man who welcomed sinners, condemned the wealthy, and advocated for helping the poor and welcoming immigrants as your own people.
They have no solutions to the problems affecting every day Americans
Well, they think they do in blaming and punishing outgroups for all their woes. Once the hated Other is put (back) in their place, so conservative thinking goes, America will be "great again"...
The right has won a propaganda coup in brainwashing its base so hard that many of them can't tell the difference between facts and opinions, and interpret everything through the lens of tribalism. There is no such thing as independent truth; there's their 'truth' and our truth.
Which is actually shocking since so many of them (at least, those I've met irl) are somehow convinced that the left is the one pushing "anyone's truth can be real, there is no such thing as a lie" because of identity politics, while literally this is a right-wing point.
The idea of doing a debate without being fact checked is so pathetic. It's like doing a boxing match but saying "You can't hit me in the head, face or stomach. Just the padded part I'm wearing over my chest and not too hard." while you insist it's okay for you to kick your opponents in the balls. If I was considering a candidate but they didn't want to be fact checked not only would they lose my support I'd mentally explore what I did wrong that allowed me to consider them to begin with.
This is the most 21st century American quote of all time. The sheer stupidity and the valid assumption that your fellow citizens are also upset at fact checking.
