JD Vance was simply spectacular in his debate against Tim Walz Tuesday night and not just because Walz was a babbling puddle of big-eyed goo out of the gate. No no, Vance was clear, concise, likable ... he was even 'pretty' if that makes sense. He was everything the GOP needed him to be on the debate stage and then some. If he thought his job was to show Republicans WHY Trump picked him, he succeeded.
If his job was also to trigger the nutball feminists who spent a good bit of time analyzing Vance's debate style to claim he was doing a 'soft fash' thing, apparently he succeeded there as well.
I know, I've said this before and after this, I may not be able to say it again BUT this thread is the dumbest, most ignorant, annoying, without-merit, ridiculous, empty-headed, stupid things read on Twitter/X.
Ever. I'm not even kidding. Even after all of the time I've spent covering people like Eric Swalwell and AOC.
This is nuttier than a squirrel's BM.
Let's talk about JD Vance's approach in the debate. It's it's soft fash and it's a way of mainstreaming "traditional family" fascist aesthetics. A short 🧵:

Let's not talk about it and and say we did?
1.) Soft speaking is prized as a rhetorical skill. It makes social violence more palatable (in the family and nation). It's more likely to draw women in (see also the pink tie). The contrast is when he talked over the female moderators and flashed anger at being fact-checked.

Having a soft voice makes social violence more palatable. Oh, and he used his pink tie to con women into liking him.
Yeah ... right.
2.) His repeated strategy of pointing to alleged similarities to Walz is designed to move the Dems right and manufactures consent for the GOP agenda.

You know what, I can't do this. I can't put her entire thread in this article because that means I have to read it again and to be quite honest and transparent with you all, I don't know if I can do that. I mean, c'mon. What is WRONG with women today? I feel like the crazy old lady on the corner throwing rocks at the kids in her yard because I can't relate in any way shape or form to this sort of psychosis. This level of victimhood and BS feminist nonsense.
Who THINKS like this?
And WHY? When did so many women lose touch with reality? Can they be brought back from the social justice abyss? So many questions when I read garbage like this, well, not like this, this is a level of garbage that needs a category all its own. In my mind, women are far too busy with life to sit around looking for things to be angry about, we are raising kids, starting our own businesses, we are living our lives. Is this poor woman's life so empty that she just sits around being pissed off and incredibly paranoid because a GOP candidate wore a pink tie?
Get a grip.
