People are attacking Trump’s VP pick “JD Vance” (this is a fake name, his name is James Bowman) because he wrote in Hillbilly Elegy that he once had sex with a sofa.
As it turns out, he did not actually write that.
It would not have bothered me if he had, however. Having not read it in years, I just assumed it was in there. It wouldn’t have really been out of place, given the tone of the book.
The book is good. In theory, he is open about his various problems. It could all be fake, of course. It was definitely intended as a big part of his branding. Basically, he ran on “I went to Yale and wrote a good novel.” (Nb4 “it’s a memoir” – it’s a nonfiction novel, obviously written to be turned into a film.) But as a literary work, regardless of whether it represents his real thinking, it is good.
People keep accusing me of only saying that because it’s about Ohio. That is not the reason. It’s actually a good book. Everyone thinks that. I never watched the movie, which is more likely what people are commenting on when they claim the book isn’t good.
Anyway, I saw this sofa sex bit and like many just assumed it was true. It was years ago that I read the book and it wouldn’t have stood out in the book, which was intended to show Vance as open and vulnerable. We all did various weird sexual things as teenagers, I’m sure. I wish it was in the book, because it would be funny.
I went in liking the guy a few years ago because of the book, but as soon as he got into politics, he became a total neocon. Maybe not a total neocon, because he has consistently voted against the Ukraine war. But he’s fully on board with the Israel war. This doesn’t even make sense, from any angle. The Ukraine neo-Nazis are brutal, but they are not as brutal as the Jews. So there is no moral argument. Furthermore, the arguments about “well, the Ukraine is in Europe and therefore related to American interests” might not make sense, but they at least exist. There is no argument that Israel is in Europe or has anything to do with American interests.
Vance actually says “no limits” on funding for Israel and literally says “because I’m a Christian.” This is undistilled neoconism straight out of the Bush years. (He also claims to be Catholic now, and the whole “Christians support Israel” is a Protestant/evangelical thing – so it doesn’t even make sense.)
I love Trump but what the fuck is this. JD Vance has an Indian wife and a son named Vivek. This is the guy that is going to stand up for white people? Seems to me he just stands up for Jews and Israel more than Americans and white people. He is also funded by Peter Thiel and… pic.twitter.com/blfJW2qmdB

Vance actually introduced the bill to withhold funding from universities that allowed protests against Israel.
He has a special Jew bucket. I quote: “I’m supportive of Israel and their war against Hamas… It’s sort of weird that this town assumes that Israel and Ukraine are exactly the same. They’re not, of course, and I think it’s important to analyze them in separate buckets.”
This guy Bowman says all these nice things about Ohioans, he talks against the Ukraine, he says stuff I guess I agree with about corporations and so on. Glenn Greenwald gushes over his “support for the working class” and seems to give him a pass on the Israel thing because Vance supports the Teamsters. I don’t really have very strong views on that whole angle of his branding, because I think the term “working class” has largely become synonymous with “poor people” (those are certainly the sorts he describes in the book), and I’m really not sure that these unions help people very much. I’m also not necessarily against that. I just don’t really care. I think a bigger issue is the regulations which destroy small businesses, which, along with NAFTA and GATT, are what created this problem of an impoverished peasantry.
There was a kind of dual attack on small town America that involved both removing the mines and factories and letting Walmart (and then Amazon) come in and totally decimate the local retail market. Anyway, I’m sure I basically agree with him on all of that. There are a lot of other issues I think he’s brought to the floor as a “populist.”
But the whole thing is just totally fake. This is all just window-dressing for a Jew lover.
I understand that Trump is also a Jew lover. But he wasn’t in 2016. He said before he was elected that the Jews should have to pay back all the money America sent them. He refused to do the Wailing Wall photo-op before the election. (I think back then, Trump probably really didn’t care about Israel, then when he got into office he realized that Israel ran America and just ended up going along with it. Plus he has some kind of bizarre relationship with his daughter, who is married to an ultra-Jew who is personal friends with Bibi.)
“JD Vance” has not even attempted to hide his total subservience to the Jews. This is heinous.
Remember: George W. Bush said good things too. He was anti-abortion, anti-gay, pro-gun, and so on – in his rhetoric. And yet, his entire legacy is defined by only one thing, which is fighting a bunch of wars for the Jews.
Political rhetoric is irrelevant.
What’s more: he’s married to a practicing Indian Hindu woman, which makes all of this seem even more fake.
Why is he married to that woman if he’s a hillbilly who wants to bring back American identity? I’ve defended men who race-mix because they don’t have any options. I don’t support the act, but I support the men themselves, and I understand. But he had options. He went to Yale and was making middle six figures immediately after college. He could have married a normal white woman. I get that it’s probably easier to deal with an Indian woman, but that’s no excuse.
Frankly, I would be less offended if he’d married a Mexican. At least that is a bit more American. We’ve always had these Mexicans around to some extent, they are part of our history and experience. India is not part of our national experience.
Being married to an Indian, having these Indian children… this isn’t good. This does not show a real desire to return to a traditional American identity.
This then becomes the whole “multiracial working class populism” narrative that has been shoved down everyone’s throats as the “new conservatism.” No one wanted this. The populism, people wanted, but making it multiracial is not what conservatives wanted; this is just a way to try to integrate immigrants who should instead be rounded up and put in camps. You could do multiracialism with the blacks. We have all these blacks we need to do something about, okay, try to give them jobs and get them to vote against trannies and so on. But we don’t want multiracialism with Indians. We do not want race-mixing and combining Indian religions with Christianity under the theory that “all religions are the same.” This is just totally satanic.
The other main figure in this “working class populism” is Josh Hawley, who is obviously a homosexual and was the main figure calling for TikTok to be banned because it allowed freedom of speech about what is going on in Gaza. He was calling for it to be banned even before that, because TikTok is Chinese and the Silicon Valley people don’t want the competition.
Rand Paul confronted him over this over a year ago.
Again, his family is all of the most offensive possibilities, because his wife is literally a practicing Hindu. They had an “interfaith marriage.” What the hell?
Then he converts to Catholicism. When I heard that, I thought he and his wife must have converted together. But no. He went through the whole process of conversion to Catholicism without his wife. This is, frankly, the worst part of all. I would not like the Indian thing regardless, but if she converted when they married, or if they converted to Catholicism together as a way to reconcile the faith differences, that would be 1,000 times better.
As it is, he is involved in a much more mixed up family than the one he came from as described in his novel. It’s much better to be blasted on pills and living on welfare in a shed than to have two religions in the same household.
White male/Asian female relationships have lower divorce rates than white male/white female relationships. But firstly, Indians are not Asians, but rather a third thing, and successful WMAF marriages involve either women that are already Christian (there are Christians in every Asian country) or where the woman converts and the children are raised with one religion.
How do you raise children with more than one religion? It doesn’t make any sense. Unless you’re planning on somehow combining those religions into some sort of new thing. Which appears to be the plan.
“JD Vance” is a shill for Silicon Valley. Everyone knows this. I like some of these tech bro types okay. Or I should say, I agree with them on some things. David Sachs is someone I like primarily because he actually defends freedom of speech. But all of these people want mass numbers of Indians. It was on David Sachs’ podcast, All-In, that Trump made his now infamous statement that we should be stapling green cards to diplomas.
yesterday Trump appeared on the all-in pod and made promises to increase high-skilled immigration by giving all college grads a green card
but I don’t believe him. quick story…

Look: replacing the white middle class with Indians is way worse than replacing the white poor with Mexicans. It’s way worse.
I don’t even think these Asians and Indians should have taken over our universities in the first place. How does this even make any sense? What is the purpose of these institutions, if not to educate our own people? If there are going to be Asians, it should be a one-to-one exchange, where we send someone over to one of their schools and they send one to us. No American should be losing a seat at a university to a foreigner. That is completely ridiculous. But this is happening, and it’s definitely better to get them out once they finish at the school than give them all green cards.
America doesn’t need people. We have people. The government has just destroyed them. This was literally the entire point of Hillbilly Elegy – that Americans have been left behind by a government and an economic elite that do not care about them.
You’re not going to teach coal miners to write code, but there is no reason you can’t teach their kids to write code, and they would write it better than the Indians. This whole Silicon Valley obsession with Indian immigrants is not even good for their companies in the longer term – you see that with Elon Musk getting completely destroyed by the Chinese. Tesla is an Indian company, while BYD, solidly the biggest EV company in the world by 2022 and now just completely burying Tesla, is a White-Chinese company.
I wouldn’t want to replace white Americans with Chinese people either. But that would at least make some kind of sense, because they have more core competency than Indians. However, none of the Chinese want to come work in America anymore, because they make more money and have a better quality of life in China, and don’t have to learn a foreign language. Instead, Chinese companies are now hiring whites (especially for programming – Chinese are good at design and engineering, but still struggle with programming).
We’re going to war for Israel and we’re creating a new one-world religion to accommodate tens of millions of Indians being brought into the country to replace the white middle class. That’s the Trump 2024 platform and it is embodied in his VP pick, who is a radical pro-Israel extremist and involved in a bizarre mixed-race, mixed-religion family.
Don’t vote.
It doesn’t matter anyway, because the election is fake and they’ve already appointed Trump, but for the sake of yourself, do not sign a ballot saying you consent to be ruled by this system.
