    "Instead of fact checking Trump’s clearly false claim that he knows nothing about Project 2025, fact checkers have decided they — and everyone else — must simply take him at his word. Further, Democrats must be punished for tying Trump to its unpopular policy proposals."

      from AnarchoNinaAnalyzes
      The other day, I briefly talked about why I don't like JD Vance, why his purported appeal to "the working class" was mostly a bougie myth, and why I thought that every time he opened his mouth he was actively doing damage to the Trump campaign's prospects of winning the election; a fact that I certainly am not too broke up about. Well it turns out that the new American Nazi Party is becoming increasingly aware of these facts: https://truthout.org/articles/polls-show-vance-is-deeply-unpopular-could-the-rnc-remove-him-from-the-ticket/ Polls Show Vance Is Deeply Unpopular — Could the RNC Remove Him From the Ticket? "Vance has, in fact, become something of a liability for Trump. Aggregate polling data collected by CNN’s senior political data reporter Harry Enten noted that Vance has a net favorability rating of -6 points. That number is the lowest of any vice presidential nominee for either major party since 1980, and the first time such a nominee has been in the net-negative range in the week after their party’s national convention. (Vice presidential nominees have seen, on average, a +19 net favorability rating in the days after their conventions were held.)" I think ultimately there are three issues play here. First is the fact that tactically, choosing Vance was a "win more" strategy for the Trump campaign looking to feed some red meat to already loyal fascist voters during the RNC - aka "the most publicized Nazi rally since the production of Triumph of the Will." He doesn't bring anything to the ticket; he's not experienced, he hasn't cultivated his own base of support - in fact despite winning an Ohio Senate seat on the back of tech-fascist Peter Thiel's generous funding, the vast majority of polls indicate that Vance ran worse than a bog standard Republican would have in a deep red state like Ohio. The guy has no juice, choosing him was about appeasing the rich Techbro fascists working to get Trump over (see Thiel) and the choice literally represents a victory lap for a Trump campaign pretty sure they'd already beat Joe Biden and captured the White House. Given the changing dynamics of the election now that Harris is the presumed Dem presidential nominee, this sure looks like a massive tactical blunder. The second problem having Vance on the ticket presents for team Trump, is that the guy is a wholly unlikeable shitheel. Even setting aside the fact that his political ideas are weird, authoritarian, and hugely unpopular, the man himself has all the charm of the class know it all who fancies himself the schoolyard bully; a rare, but deeply unlikeable combination that might play (kinda) in Ohio, but doesn't work on the national stage. He's obnoxious, oozes arrogance, has no idea that his forcefully stated opinions about childless women aren't representative of modern attitudes in the electorate, and is just in general a loathsome blowhard whose political style is more suited to winning "debates" on 4Chan than convincing people to vote for the Trump ticket. I wasn't aware it was actually possible for a politician to be "Josh Hawley without the polish and charm" given how little of those qualities Hawley himself posses, but that's who Vance is and what people see every time he opens his mouth. Finally of course, there's the fact that Vance works for Techbro fascists like Peter Thiel, to advance Tech-authoritarian political policies championed by odious nazi shitheads like Curtis Yarvin, aka Mencius Moldbug. Right now, voters don't know much about Yarvin's ideas (or Thiel and Vance's support for them) but putting Vance on the ticket is going to give them an opportunity to find out, and I can assure you that corporate feudalism, bringing back slavery, and turning marginalized people into biodiesel fuel are *not* going to sell well with the vast majority of voters who didn't already support Trump before Vance's selection. Furthermore, Vance himself lacks the cunning to keep his support for this kind of dystopian fascist nightmare shit hidden until the election; just the other day I shared a video of him espousing his pro-natalist theories on rigging democracy for fundies who spit out a lotta babies by giving parents extra votes for each child they have. This man doesn't know when to shut up, and might be completely incapable of doing so. All of which brings us to the question of whether or not Trump can replace him. The short answer is no, but the long answer is yes, they can get Vance off the ticket by convincing him, or forcing him to step down. Will they? I have my doubts; not only will that decision be very unpopular with both Trump's Techbro masters and the hardcore nazis in his base, but doing so would require Downmarket Mussolini to admit he'd made a mistake - which is something Trump simply doesn't do. In other words, choosing Vance is like tying a stone around Trump's neck, and now it's up to the Harris campaign and "liberal" media to make sure they both sink to the bottom because of it. #USPol #Vance #Fascism #Trump

      Growing up in the 80s and 90s was to understand that the revolution had occurred long before you were born, but that its failure was the reasonable and correct outcome. The counterculture was too wild and wooly, drug-addled idealists playing sans-culotte, trying to tear down all the guardrails that were there for good reason, ever slouching towards Bethlehem for no good reason other than it was "far out, man". Popular media reinforced this, the erstwhile wild and wooly drug-addled idealists themselves blushed a bit even as they wistfully recalled how simple everything seemed when they were young and naive. Caring about things and wanting to make the world better was safely relegated to a developmental phase of young adulthood. When you get older, you'll understand, they told us as they patted our heads. Implicit in all of this is that while the counterculture had failed at almost all of its goals, we had achieved some state of synthesis between the freaks and straight society. We had settled on rational and inevitable new order where culture was more open and free but corporations were still free to make a profit off of it, and who could begrudge them this basic right, which after all was the common teat we all suckled at, freaks and straights alike. Reaching middle age in the 2020s is to realize that all of that was complete and utter bullshit, and the world that you were born into and believed to be a stable compromise between revolution and the status quo was just a myth cooked up by the reactionaries, to soothe our addled brains and give us just enough to lose so that we will fall in line and accept the world as it is, and not trouble ourselves with such idealistic absurdities as imagining a better world. It's an odd thing to realize that your entire life has been a slow march into revanchism, not to the status quo of the 50s and early 60s but to some darker fever dream of an imagined past order. At least in the 60s, the John Birch society was seen as a joke by most political thinkers. Now it almost seems quaint compared to the sudden ardor for full-throated fascism on the right. Though to call it a "sudden" ardor is to fall prey to the propaganda I was reared on from birth. This was always the goal. Nixon wasn't inevitable. Reagan wasn't inevitable. For fuck's sake, Trump was not inevitable! These were all coordinated attacks on the part of the motherfuckers who have always been at the wheel and who constantly need to remind us that they have their foot on our necks. And it worked. At some point in my 30s I slipped out of the notion that the world would inevitably become a better place in time and into the hope that at least I'll be dead before the shit really hits the fan. At 42, I don't really even have that hope anymore. This is how a hegemonic minority suppresses the majority of people who are their natural enemies, by squeezing out even the hope that things could get better, or at the very least, not worse. I don't have a lot of hope to offer here, except to say that none of this is inevitable, it's being done to us. And for God's sake, don't let the motherfuckers win. A four-year-old could imagine a better world than this.
