    Vance also said he was “outraged at Trump’s rhetoric, and I worry most of all about how welcome Muslim citizens feel in their own country. And there have always been demagogues willing to exploit the people who believe crazy shit. What seems different to me is that the Republican party offers nothing that’s as attractive as the demagogue.”

    Exploit the people who believe crazy shit. Exactly what Vance is doing now that he’s sided with the demagogue.

    Vance is even worse than a narcissist. He knows better and chooses to be evil for his own self-interest. I get why Trump likes him. He understands a life being driven by self-interest. And he knows Vance will burn everything down to advance he and Trump’s interests.

      These people are the worst indeed. They know it’s wrong, they know it’s evil but they’re still doing it and doubling down whenever they can, just to get some power.

      Fucking sociopaths.

      Vance was the liberal heartthrob until he went full MAGA so that he could become a senator.

          Oh, he is 100% a Trojan horse, but the people he’s a Trojan horse for are just as bad. Basically every shitty money-man in Silicon Valley that imagined himself a Randian Superman.
