Yeah. The guy who has incited bomb threats against Hatian-Americans saying to tone down the rhethoric. You first, asshat.
This is a deliberate strategy.
They know what they are doing.
Just look at Elon posting about a "bomb threat" that was made up (while there have been ACTUAL bomb threats in Ohio due to his & Trump's & JD's "rhetoric")
Fucking fascist fucks.
Yeah, tone it down you Baby Murdering, Paedophillic, Freedom Haters!
Otherwise who knows what our followers will be driven to do when we insinuate they should?
JD Vance is a cunt and has no grip strength.
How is he moving couches though?
he doesn't move them, he makes a move on them

Vance makes more sense as a Trump VP than Pence ever did. Just a big lyin' sack of shit who doesn't care about facts or reality, just saying whatever BS line serves his purpose in that very moment.
Pence is a christian fascists fuck, but at least he has principals. They are misguided evil controlling ones, but the man at least has a backbone.
Nihilists? Fuck me, dude...
Vance was too young to be VP in 2016 thankfully.
And now he's too old to abort
Not according to some.
According to political trends, pence was pretty young too.
Pence was chosen to reassure hardcore Christians and more "moderate" Republicans that Trump wasn't such a bad guy. Pair the know. Philanderer with a weirdo who isn't even allowed in the same room as a woman without his wife present. Now they know that wasn't necessary, as all the Republicans are pretty much aboard the Trump train, so now they just want a guy that will do whatever Trump wants
and Vance wears makeup, too.
it sucks that these two are the one that are normalizing men wearing makeup.
ahahahahahahahahahah
Not arguing, but is gaslighting really the right word?
No, not at all. It's one of the most incorrectly used words, usually just as a synonym for lying. This is especially egregious as it's being used as a synonym for hypocrisy.
I just feel when words change to mean different things very rapidly in society, words no longer have meaning and communication is shut down.
This word isn’t even 100 years old, and its origin is quite documented. In fact, it’s a literal reference to the title of a play/movie.
Imagine changing the term “stepford wife” to mean something like powerful married woman who takes charge of her life.
It doesn't bother me so much because I am pretty good at figuring out what people mean from context.
But, and this is quite judgey, it does lead me to believe the person is not much of a thinker and almost certainly not much concerned with researching to make sure what they've heard is actually the truth.
Think of it as the society being the victim. The clearest example is when Trump started talking about Fake News. The goal is to devoid words of meaning, to reason based only on emotional attachment, to eliminate critical thinking. This guy follows the same strategy.
Below a definition of gaslighting, I think it applies pretty well to the kind of society these people are leaving behind:
Examples of gaslighting behaviors are denying something the other person knows is true, spreading rumors about them, and blaming the victim. The mental health impact of gaslighting includes feelings of powerlessness, confusion, isolation, disorientation, and low self-esteem

I thought the same thing. People are obsessed with the word gaslighting.
This seems more like textbook hypocrisy. Person doing thing talks about the harms of others doing that thing.

Classic manipulative bully behavior. Antagonize and abuse a victim until they react with hostility. And then play the victim and implore for peace so the victim looks like the aggressor. Though Vance is such an incompetent sack of shit that it's following nobody who's not in that death cult.
