JD Vance once convinced himself he was gay. And he's changed his name twice. So he's really not one to judge for this, even though it's imagined.
Not that either the bullshit nor the hypocrisy would lose him any votes.

J.D. thinks it's "hysterical" because J.D. became an Appalachian hillbilly when he thought it would benefit him politically. So if he can become a hillbilly, of course Kamala can become black!
"I'll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I'm going to hell."
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as "Mamaw" — she replied bluntly: "Don't be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you're gay?"
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"
"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."
Ngl, that last line does cause me to involuntarily feel a warm flutter in my heart but then I remember that she says "god" would still love them instead of "I'd"
I mean, she said it would be fine, not that only god would still like him
Agreed, he was worrying about god judging him from church, not about mamaw.
James ~~Donald~~ David Bowman, has requested that he be referred to as JD (formerly J.D.) Vance, his preferred (chosen) name.
Yesterday, James called Kamala "phony."
You can't make this stuff up. So I didn't.
What a bizarrely weird statement by Vance
He thought he was being clever with some misogyny that his base is never going to understand.
He's probably trying to create their own version of people calling them "weird" but for the democrats too.
You're not giving his base enough credit. They may be stupid, but they're idiots-savant at hearing dog-whistles.
Is that why most of their dog-whistles are as subtle as a foghorn?
Couchfucker Vance saying more weirdass shit?
No fuckin way
Hey. Don't blame Vance for some couch buggery. They are called Love Seats for a reason.
Confusing hysteria with hysterical laughter over how weird it is to think you can tell someone else what race they are.
No, he's just being misogynist (look up the etymology of "hysteria" -- or "hysterical," for that matter).
Yeah I know where hysteria comes fine. But there is also a pejorative form of hysterical (in hysterics) and's non-pejorative (hilarious, which is what I actually meant to have typed above to avoid confusion, but my brain went in autopilot).
Fun fact vibrators were first invented to deal with women in the 19th who were diagnosed with hysteria. This is honestly probably the least fucked up bit of 19th century medical trivia I know.
Weird thing for Flipper Vance to say.
Is this referencing the way he flips the cushions because the cool side "feels better"? Or is it his history of flip flopping on everything?
Yes.
But also his dolphin fetish.
Very weird bloke.
Ya whatever Couch Fucker
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.
You done fucked up, JD Vance.
