Earlier today at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump selected -- and the delegation overwhelmingly approved -- Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate in the 2024 election. On the right, some have loved the pick, while some were hoping for another contender, but Twitchy's JustMindy outlined why Vance is the perfect pick for the Trump ticket.
Meanwhile, on the political left, they are handling Vance's selection with complete maturity and calmness.
HAHAHAHAHA. No, we're kidding, of course.
They are freaking out and forgetting all about 'lowering the temperature.'
CNN’s Van Jones didn’t let the blood dry before spewing dangerous rhetoric:

JD Vance is “a dangerous virus” and a “horror on the world stage”

LOL. So much for 'dialing it back,' right Van Jones?
Maybe the most delicious coping and seething, though, came from leftist supertroll Tea Pain. We've chronicled Tea Pain's massive fails on Twitchy before, from Kyle Rittenhouse to the January 6 Committee. But his tweet about Vance perfectly captured how enslaved the Democrats are to DEI and identity politics.
Trump didn't pick a person of color.
— Tea Pain (@TeaPainUSA) July 15, 2024
Trump didn't pick a woman.
Trump didn't pick a minority.
He picked another white man.
OH NO! Trump picked the person he thought was the best for the job and not the person who checked the most boxes. How will America survive?
Of course, there were a few lefties who shared Tea Pain's outrage.

At least, we think that's outrage. It's hard to tell through all those hashtags.

Man, Project 2025 sounds more awesome every day. We're not sure which page of it the name 'J.D. Vance' appears, but we're sure he's in there somewhere.
Mostly, however, Twitter wanted to let Tea Pain know how batpoop-crazy he is.
How's that working out for #PresidentSilverAlert, chief? https://t.co/sEeKVeh00Z

Kamala Harris has an even worse approval rating than Biden -- which is a pretty remarkable feat and the only thing she's truly earned on her own throughout her career.
But, in a sense, she does exemplify the entire Biden presidency. (That was not a compliment, by the way.)
— Cathy A. Salazar (@LvlyWords) July 16, 2024
Ahem. She said it, we didn't.
We may have been thinking it, but we didn't say it.
The left is so used to DEI being the standard that the simple act of hiring the person you think is best for the job is foreign and racist to them https://t.co/0OV8kFfElu

It is remarkable to behold how completely captured they are by identity politics.

We're pretty sure Tea Pain has that number on speed dial.
Are you upset that Republicans don't obsess on race, unlike what racists do?
— Horse Sense (@HorseSense25) July 15, 2024
Okay? Not everything needs to be run through a DEI lens. Sometimes the best person for the job is, in fact, a white man.
— DelilahM (@delilahmused) July 16, 2024
GASP. How dare you even imagine such a thing?
Oh no, how will we sleep tonight?

And?
— NavyTim (@ChiefNavyTim) July 16, 2024
We looked to see if Tea Pain had a follow-up tweet to explain what his point was here.
He did not.
Why does it matter?
— Kaya (@sisterinferior) July 16, 2024
Did you know that most of America is white?
Did you know that most people with the free time and experience to be in politics are male?
Did you know that neither of those things are inherently bad or systemic racism/patriarchy? https://t.co/8RIzw72yS5
All of that is irrelevant to the left in America.
Imagine complaining about this during White Boy Summer https://t.co/Gz7DXv0uhC
— James Klüg (@realJamesKlug) July 16, 2024
HA. OK, that was a good one. We giggled.
But it was nice of Twitter to reach out to Tea Pain and offer sympathies during this trying time for him.

See? Everyone feels your 'pain,' Tea Pain.
This is it? This is your depth of thought? Race and gender?

DEI has destroyed this country. https://t.co/Izr623jbZH
The answer to all three of those questions is 'yes.' This is all they have. They have no new ideas and they cannot exist without stoking those divisions.
DEI hasn't destroyed the country yet (though it's not looking good for the Secret Service lately), but it will if it is not stopped.
You can love J.D. Vance, like him, or even hate him. All three of those opinions are everyone's right. But if you are basing those opinions on his DNA and chromosomes, you are not the good guy here, Tea Pain. And you never will be.
