    Why was it ever on the table?

      I think sometimes people can fool themselves into thinking they’re in the club because they have all the proper garb and enjoy the culture that said club specifically designed to be exclusive.

      Republicans hate non-rural people, even though none of them are rural people. It gets the dumb hillbillies to fall in line.

    Again, Vance claims he’s being taken out of context, only to have Mother Jones expand on his comments in their totality and embarrass the fuck out of him. I’m starting to not hate this timeline as much these days.

    This dude knows that he will never receive a sincere apology, right?

    They want your vote, homey. After that they will turn off the spigot, take your land for peanuts, and some silicon valley tech bro will put his child rape mansion on the empty spot.

    Vance described a federal program that has distributed nearly $2 billion to mostly Black farmers who experienced discrimination as “disgraceful,” suggesting that it is racist against white people.

      But Vance’s assertions here are an inaccurate portrayal of the Discrimination Financial Assistance Program, the federal program established through the Inflation Reduction Act. Contrary to Vance’s claim, applicants were not limited to Black farmers; Any farmer who had experienced discrimination by the US Department of Agriculture—including based on sexual orientation or gender identity, religion, age, or disability—was eligible to apply.

        That’s awesome. So it’s potentially available to non-whites, women, gays, trans-folk, atheists et al., and the disabled. But if you are a stereotypical cis-het white guy you’re out. I can see why Republicans would be pissed. I hope it makes them seethe uncontrollably.

          Yeah, they bitch about not getting their piece of the pie, yet they’ve eaten 99% of the pie already. They refuse to understand that the discrimination against non cishet white people has already enriched them.

    And what if he gives an apology? It will never be a sincere one but let’s say he utters the words.
    Then it’s back to endorsing him, right? I’m sure it will be.

    He just told you how he truly thinks and I believe morons still think they are in the “in group” and support these vile republicans.

      Maybe Vance will double down and state he doesn’t need to apologize, digging the hole deeper. That seems to be Trump’s strategy lately.
