The Many Names of “JD Vance” are a Consequence of Having a Shitty Whore Mother

James Donald Bowman’s mother constantly changing his name is unfortunate, and a consequence of the gynocracy. It’s easy to feel for him on that one.

However, once you turn 18, you can legally change your own name. For a normal male, this would mean just changing it back to their original name, because that is the way names work.

You can have fun with nicknames and pseudonyms, but your name is your name. Changing your name is a bizarre act, short of some sort of extenuating circumstances, like being in the witness protection program.

When it comes to Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s name, it’s complicated.

The senator from Ohio introduced himself to the world in 2016 when he published his bestselling memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” under the name J.D. Vance — “like jay-dot-dee-dot,” he wrote, short for James David. In the book, he explained that this was not the first iteration of his name. Nor would it be the last.

Over the course of his 39 years, Vance’s first, middle and last names have all been altered in one way or another. As Vance is being introduced to voters across the country as Donald Trump’s new running mate, his name has been the source of both curiosity and questions — including why he no longer uses periods in JD.

He was born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio, on Aug. 2, 1984, his middle and last names the same as his biological father, Donald Bowman. His parents split up “around the time I started walking,” he writes. When he was about 6, his mother, Beverly, married for the third time. He was adopted by his new stepfather, Robert Hamel, and his mother renamed him James David Hamel.

Vance spent more than two decades as James David “J.D.” Hamel. It’s the name by which he graduated from Middletown High School, served in Iraq as a U.S. Marine (officially, Cpl. James D. Hamel), earned a political science degree at The Ohio State University and blogged his ruminations as a 26-year-old student at Yale Law School. Those facts are borne out in documentation provided by those entities upon request, or otherwise publicly available, and were confirmed by campaign spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk.

But the situation gnawed at him, particularly after his mother and adoptive father divorced.

So he decided to change his name again, to Vance — the last name of his beloved Mamaw, the grandmother who raised him.

It didn’t happen on his wedding day in 2014, as the book implies, but in April 2013, as he was about to graduate from Yale, Van Kirk said. It felt right to take the name of the woman who raised him before dying in 2005, as he was putting the struggles of his early life behind him and launching into this new phase.

Probably, the strangest part about all of this is that his father’s name was “Donald,” and that he hated that name so much he excised it from himself (or his mother did? Either way he kept it off).

Now, he’s once again under the authority of a man named Donald.

With all of these various changes, he might as well change his middle name back to Donald “in honor of Donald Trump becoming like a new father to me.”

I’m not one to beat up on a man who has been beat up on by women – in most situations. But when you have a man who has serious unresolved problems with his mother (and therefore his father) taking a position of power, we should ask what the consequences of that are going to be.

For “Vance,” the consequences are that he’s got no real identity and the hole where an identity should be has been filled with support for Israel and mass Indian immigration.
