There’s not really a clear delineation between the social media Trolls and the republican candidates for the presidency anymore. J.D. Vance spewed troll-like bites of wisdom from his airplane in Philadelphia. His doomsday speech is obviously on brand with the doom and gloom of the social media Trolls. He used this interview with ABC to reinforce how radical Kamala Harris can be.

“This is a person who listens to the Hamas wing of her own party and selecting a nominee.” He said.

“This is a person who listens to the Hamas wing of her own party and selecting a nominee.” He said.

I don’t even know where to start. What’s disturbing is that he’s grouping his opponents together with a terrorist organization that kills children. This was a flash of smoke and mirrors shock tactic to distract from the current attacks he’s dealt with, like the couch fiasco. He continued his rant to paint the strange picture of a “tag team”–a governor who allowed rioters to “burn down” Minneapolis–and a Vice President who helped bail the same rioters out of jail. This is the same disjointed logic you’ll find his base…
