A New Chapter in Vance’s Effort to Police Who’s American JD Vance visited Florida yesterday, stumping for candidates in races that for a few cycles have been safely red. Among them was Republicans’ candidate for U.S. Senate, Ashley Moody, who was appointed by governor Ron DeSantis (R) to replace Secretary of State Marco Rubio and…

As Vance attacked Nixon, he cast her as a dangerous radical. “When Angie Nixon calls herself a socialist, I think the right response is to say, ‘Then get the hell out of here. You don’t belong in America,’” the vice president declared. The crowd cheered.

When Donald Trump said he would be a dictator, I thought the right response is to say, ‘Then get the hell out of here. You don’t belong in America’

When I learned of this, I rage-donated a little bit to Nixon’s campaign.

Is it just me, or is Vance just an irredeemable piece of shit? He will say anything to get votes. I will go out on a limb and predict that if this man is the GOP candidate in 2028, he will lose by a wide margin. Outside of Peter Theil, no one really likes him.

Vance, who, famously, once mused about whether Trump was merely a “cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful)” or “America’s Hitler,”

Turns out both are true.

the idea that those whose ancestors have been in America for longer have greater claim to it.

This, of course, is utter bullshit. Trump’s grandfather was an immigrant, and right wing “luminaries” like Alito and Kavanaugh are also relative newcomers.
Me? My people have been here since the 1600s. But I guarantee you that they don’t believe my voice is more important than those of all the Johnny-come-lately neofascist bigwigs in the GOP.
(And it’s pretty much a certainty that Angie Nixon’s family has been in this country a good bit longer than those of any of the aforementioned scumbag right wing assholes as well.)

I see him as a racist piece of shit.

And I rage donated to Nixon’s campaign too.

Yeah, I’d been vaguely thinking of donating to her campaign. I read Vance’s comment, I went to her site and gave!!

We’re talkin’ about the man who told the people of Ohio that their productive Haitian residents were, “eating the dogs, eating the cats, eating the people of the pets who live there?”
And, then, the regime fraudulently changed the assessment of conditions in Haiti so they could deport them for being black?
PoS seems fair.

Who does JD think he is that he gets to decide who belongs in America?

No, not just you.
