Forget about Pence?


There's a lot of negative hype about JD Vance lately. Understandably so; the guy is a weirdo who has flip flopped on virtually on every stance imaginable throughout his political career, including his opinion of his now running mate. I personally think he's scum based off his inalienable, sponsored and paid for, support of Israel, but I get why Trump picked him. He's a token candidate for the Bible belt, Jews are God's children, conservative faction of yore. Why he's an asset to Trump at this time, given the identify politics of today along with the massive, unwavering Jewish/Israel influence throughout our culture, as well as Israel's need for US support as it flouts international law and commits war crimes without repercussion, is understandable. AIPAC needs a hand in the pie, or at least the perception of one, or else there's going to be trouble for whoever scorns them. Look at Jared Kushner's influence on the administration's policy's during Trump's first term if you want to know what I'm referring to.

At the same time, the Vice President is typically nothing more than an office and has little affect on, well, anything. The VP candidate's biggest role throughout the administration is the image that they present when running for election. Look at Pence. Pence was chosen to appeal to the old school conservative branch, the people who believed politicians should be dignified, well spoken, preferably religious, and irreproachable in their conduct. You wouldn't see him making appearances to appeal to 20 somethings and acting like a fool to try to be "cool." At the time, that was calculated as Trump's primary asset in choosing him, because Trump himself was something of a reconfiguration of traditional conservative values, but still the Republican candidate.

You could say something similar about Kamala, though it's the inverse. Biden's appeal was to the old time Democrats, and moderates who were concerned about Trump's apparent radicalism and/or bought into the incessant MSM articles about Trump being a bad guy. The ticket needed something to appeal to the younger and/or idealistic, feeling driven members of the party. Kamala, a "black" woman from California who takes no issue with acting like a clown and spouting out youth demographic catch lines, was perfect for the role.

But did either Pence or Kamala accomplish anything memorable? Not at all. Both of them were also out of the spotlight throughout their terms, Pence likely because he was so uncontroversial and predictable as to be boring and Kamala because she is such a fool that every appearance detracted from the prestige of the Democrat party, and even the unwavering propaganda machine was unable to successfully promote her.

JD Vance will be as meaningless in the long run as both Pence and Kamala were. Those insisting that Vance is going to tank Trump's run, or is going to turn his presidency into a nightmare of policy Project 2025 style, or whatever the idiots who buy these stupid taglines about an existential threat to democracy that the MSM are pushing is called, are as intellectually vapid as those who are suddenly toasting to Kamala and flouting her persona and chances to win the election. You're being duped, and you should be mindful that Pence the stuffy conservative, JD Vance the acolyte of Israel, and Kamala the cackling fake black jackass, are nothing but advertisements meant to sell you on an agenda that is completely independent of the aims of the administration that they are a part of.
