JD Vance, no fan of gender-neutral bathrooms, was photographed in his high school yearbook next to three girls posing in front of urinals in a bathroom during his senior year.

So JD Vance has proven to be one of the most hypocritical people in politics, which is a lot to say, like saying he is the one of the people with most guns in Texas or something like that.

This pic, and others like it, are basically checking ALL boxes on the stuff he seemed to be OK with before but now denounces because he is a weird hypocrite.

Now all we need is for those who support people like him to care about their leaders being exposed as hypocrites, but they've proven over and over that they don't, so this kind of story has zero impact on them.

[-] exanime@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

True, but if we join them in not caring, then the hypocrisy is completely normalized

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

It's by slinging this kind of juvenile and insignificant shit that you are joining them. There is plenty more relevant, serious, and recent shit to criticise him for, hypocrisy and all.

Nah, to the violent, non violence means nothing

Taking the "high road" means nothing to the Maga crowd. Once the cult is over, we can return to normal times if we all behave

Lmfao, this isn't violence.

E: and that's my point exactly: want to have an impact? Go punch this fucker in the face (or follow him around or camp out outside his home, or anything that actually makes him feel threatened, or if you can't, donate to and support those who can). This joke of a "gotcha" achieves nothing but giving libs a dopamine hit.

I know, it's an expression. I then adjusted it to our actual case in discussion

You seem to be missing the point on purpose at this point
