You assume going to a school means fucking anything when you have money.
Are you really trying to claim that Vance is a stupid rich guy?
Whether you or I like it, he went to Yale on a full scholarship for the first year. Meaning he was neither so rich that his parents could just let him get into Yale (he was from a middle-class family) and he wasn't stupid.
I don't like Vance. You don't like Vance. That doesn't mean we have to pretend he is an idiot.
He also fucks couches though. Tbf that doesn't seem very smart. He might catch rug burn.
Don't kink shame.
Did I say that? No, I said a degree didn't imply competence or intelligence.
Neat, totally irrelevant to my point but neat I guess.
I don't have to pretend he's an idiot, he is. He's just an idiot that can pass tests.
Underestimate your opponents at your own peril.
He's not my enemy, he's a pundit and a real fuckin goofy one at that. Similarly being an idiot doesn't mean I'm not taking them seriously, many many idiots have effected history in negative ways they are and were still in fact idiots though.
Someone trying to bring a genocidal fascist dictator into power should be your enemy. I'm not sure why he isn't.
The movement sure, this weird couch fucker is an issue that needs to be stopped, he's not my enemy. He's an opponent, fascists phase shit as their opponent being an enemy of the state.
Couching things as enemy v friend isn't really helpful and only serves to push away the middle. He's a shit heel for sure, he's not someone I think needs to be drug out and hung as an enemy of the state as you imply.
Again, a genocide fascist enabler should be your enemy. Because they want a fascist genocidal government.
And again, I have no idea why you wouldn't consider an enabler of genocide to be an enemy.
Also, no one needs to be hanged as an enemy of the state because capital punishment is barbaric.
Would Nazis be your enemy if this was the 1940s?
Also, when did I call for violence? Please quote me.
I said Nazis, not Hitler. I also said nothing about Vance in that context, he wasn't alive in the 1940s.
And Nazis would only be your enemy if war was declared? The whole 'oppressing Jews and others since 1933' wouldn't be a factor?
By the way, I'm waiting for you to quote me calling for violence. Was that a lie? Should I flag you for trolling?
Nope, I'm implying Trump is going to be another Hitler if elected and Vance wants that to happen, making him evil. You do not think evil people are your enemy. I find that a morally abhorrent position.
And you won't quote me calling for violence despite accusing me of it. It was a lie and you are obviously a troll. I will just flag you accordingly and move on.
Well, he's a fascist, so he fucking should be. Says a lot about you that you don't see him as a threat.
Sure he's a fascist, he needs to be stopped so he's my opponent. He isn't my enemy, enemies are moved against in certain ways, opponents entirely separate ways.
