Trump’s new VP nominee, in 2016.

JD Vance
Active 6h ago
But I'm not surprised by Trump's rise, and I think the entire party has only itself to blame. We are, whether we like it or not, the party of lower-income, lower-
education white people, and I have been saying for a long time that we need to offer those people SOMETHING (and hell, maybe even expand our appeal to working class black people in the process) or a
demagogue would. We are now at that point. Trump is the fruit of the party's collective neglect. 3) I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler.
How's that for discouraging?

But that was before he realized that he could use that to obtain power.

"cynical asshole" isn't a very insightful way to describe Nixon, but it applies so precisely to JD

He meant it like "America's Hitler (complimentary)"

Musk will probably scrub those clean, and sue anyone who has archived them.

because the screenshot is out there everywhere but the source was kind of hard to find: It's a text message Vance's law school roommate shared in 2022: web.archive.org/web/20220423...

The screenshot below is @JDVance1’s unfiltered explanation from 2016 of the breakdown in Republican politics that he now personally is trying to exploit.

The “America’s Hitler” bit is at the end.

The public deserves to know the magnitude of this guy’s bad faith.

Biden can run a ton of ads featuring Vance attacking Trump.
