The Adventures of J.D. Vance, Completely Normal Politician.
Nothing more normal than urgently trying to prove you’re normal
frantic browser history erasing noises
JD is probably also having some discussion with his wife like
Honey! Why’d you sign up for all these gawd damned furniture magazines! Don’t you know people are talking! How do we get rid of these! THE LIBERALS ARE GOING TO DESTROY ME! STOP LAUGHING!
Hahahahahaha! This is what’s making me laugh so hard about this whole weird campaign.
“NO NO We’re not weird! See?”
Does something weird anyway.
It’s great that this very simple campaign about calling them something as basic as “weird” is shaming them so fucking much.
There was research done on people who tend to support authoritarians, and one of the big commonalities was the need to see their authoritarianism as normal, as something that most people support and that it’s only a vocal minority that oppose it. This “weird” narrative is proving to be so effective, I think, because it’s shattering that image.
There are, I think 2 ways to counter being called weird:
- Lean into it
- Be normal and mock those calling you weird
They can’t do number 1 because so much of their rhetoric depends on people believing their positions are popular.
They can’t do 2 because they’ve fallen into the same media silo as their constituents, and are so insular that they’ve detached from what most people see as normal.
So they’ve chosen to stand there and say “no, I’m not weird, I’m normal” which is not something someone normal does.
In the same way that publicly announcing “No, I did not fuck that couch” doesn’t lead people to think “oh, this guy doesn’t fuck couches”
It’s because it gets at a core aspect of their identity. They want so badly to turn back the clock to an imaginary perfect 1950’s (or 1850’s), and since that’s how they think the world ought to be, they behave and live like it is that way. They want doing that to be normal, and it is… but only within the context of their imaginary reality.
Calling out how weird they are makes that reality fall apart. It makes them see actual reality, with all its complications and messiness, and in that context… they’re fucking grade-A weirdos.
That’s an excellent explanation.
We’re just a couple of normal guys having a normal time with a couple of extremely normal couches. Nothing to see here folks…
Sorry, Mr. JD “Couch” Vance, you don’t get to pick your own nickname.
Asserting that you’re normal itself is weird. These people are weird.
“We’re just normal men. We’re just innocent men.”
Kind of a weird thing to say
Now listen here… send more in. Good ones as well, you’d like that.
Lol normal that’s a good one!
These two weirdos are the farthest thing from normal I have ever seen running for president and vice president.
Yup. Perfectly normal to joke about molesting a woman in a department store.
I mean, who hasn’t done that or owned their own country club?
… You do realize who that “woman” is, right?
Spoiler
“Donald Trump motor-boating Rudy Giuliani in full drag,” wrote the Twitter user who shared the video. “Meanwhile, these people keep a straight face while they tell us how awful drag is.”
That doesn’t change anything.
It makes it weirder.
Of course.
That’s what makes it even worse though: the joke is that Rudy isn’t really “molestable”, but the old freak goes for it anyway.
And the pièce de résistance is, of course, that he was found to have sexually assaulted at least one woman in a department store.
Shady Vance is about to learn about the Streisand Effect
Sounds like something a weirdo would say.
lol…
Exactly what weird people say.
I love him trying to sell the pussy-grabbing, bleach-injecting word salad rapist and convicted felon as a normal guy.
“I really do think that whatever Tim Walz calls me, I mean, talk about, talk about weird with Tim Walz,” he added.
Did…did Vance just “I know you are but what am I” Tim Walz?
No u

It’s the harold and kumar scene
Vance must be practicing stringing words together in a stroke-inducing order, a very important skill for a GOP ticket member, no doubt.
“I’m rubber, you’re glue” as an election strategy is… Well, it’s weird.
Pretty much everyone I’ve ever met is weirder than Tim Walz. And Trump/Vance is weirder still! Lol They will not win this one (election)…
You do not want to get into a normal-off with Walz, but I sure hope Mr Vance keeps trying.
Oh shit, a normal-off!
Normal-off! cups hands over mouth NORMAL-OFF!!! Weewoo weewoo!
Most boring event at the Minnesota state fair iirc
And the most authentic
I saw a snippet of an interview he was in. The interviewer asked him “What was the last thing you did out in public by yourself?”.
Walz thought for a moment and said “I went to Menards and bought an air filter for my furnace.”
Please, let it happen. Nothing says “I’m weird” like doing a normal off with someone who doesn’t care.
