Trump just gave Republicans the opportunity to show us their true colors. Sadly, approximately 35% of the electorate doesn’t see anything wrong with their behavior.
Vance's "cultural heroin" remark was very insightful. But that was then, this is now. He's turned his back on the very people he purported to care about in his "hillbilly elegy" to do what soulless, opportunistic Republicans always do--lie their asses off for just another taste of political heroin.
Democrats would do well to incessantly quote both of these vermin for the remainder of the campaign. Whether it’s violence or bodily autonomy, guns or freedom, democracy or fascism, they’re both on record.
Of course, I’m not surprised at all bc Vance was the biggest suck-up of the three VP contenders. Not long ago, he called Trump “reprehensible,” an “idiot,” “noxious,” and “cultural heroin.” He also publicly wondered “what percentage of the American population Trump had sexually assaulted.” Clearly, he’s forgotten how much of a scumbag and criminal Trump is. I can’t think of one Republicans who has an ounce of integrity. They all say and do whatever is convenient in the moment in order to get elected, gain power, escape consequences or get media attention.
I really didn't think Trump would pick Vance, for exactly this reason. Clearly I was wrong, but I'm glad to see Mehdi highlighting Vance's obvious craven phoniness. The rest of the press needs to do the same and hammer both Vance and Trump about every one of these statements.
INDEED! The REPUBLICAN COUP is already in progress, and NO ONE cares!! The CALVARY is NOT coming to save us!! Most AMERICANS ................................
Thank you for pointing out how thoroughly Trump has captured a whole political party and the shameless people who have been corrupted.

Only 35%?
INDEED!!
Most Americans are just CLUELESS about what's happening in America!! Worse, they're OK with everything!!
It’s just amazing to me that people think Trump is fit to be president.
Corrupting those who are CLUELESS is easy!!

Vance is just another example of WHITE-SUPREMACIST, REPUBLICAN DICTATORSHIP!! Perfect MATCH for TRUMP-PROJECT 2025 COUP!!

Thank you for keeping the focus here and on Project 2025. These topics need to remain THE focus.

And with his recent shooting we are going to have to suffer through him again. The Dems are already shutting down any. Criticism. Theater all of it
J.D. Vance gladly agreed to be assimilated into the Borg.
We can at least look forward to the attack ads... since we can't look forward to the debates anymore...
Thank you for this essay Mehdi! Thanks for keeping us focused on reality and on Project 2025. History is important.
Great work Mehdi. There is nothing like documentation

We are at the end of the road in the USA.

You can put the truth out there, but SO many people are deaf to it. You can video tape it right before their eyes, and they are blind to see it. Why?
Has any politician ever gone to the crossroads, and NOT taken the deal?
Excellent article.
