J.D. Vance Is Silicon Valley’s Trojan Horse in Its War on What’s Left of American Democracy

Vance’s elevation to vice-presidential candidate should be prompting far greater alarm among the institutions and “responsible people” that anchor the American establishment.

They see the writing on the wall. The younger generations understand technology and are much less hesitant about regulating it.

In 15 - 20 years the majority of Congress won't be made up of people who say 'I don't understand it but it's making money so let's leave them be' — it'll be made up full of people who say 'this shit worked better when I was a kid, let's go back to that'.

Not really. It will still be made up mostly of people who say "thanks for the donation" to lobbyists.

I heard the "JD" stands for "Jackhammer Davenport," according to his book.

He probably tells people that. But it sounds like over compensation to me

Those stains on all the couches at Mar A Lardo aren’t just from Donnie’s incontinence.

Are people still talking about JD Vance having sex with a couch? We need to put to bed the idea of JD Vance having sex with a couch. It’s not appropriate for people to think of Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance having sex with a couch. JD Vance has gone on record to deny that he has had bare skin contact with a couch within the last 5 years. It’s absurd that JD Vance was banned from a Cleveland area IKEA after making sweet, passionate love to a KIVIK Sofa Chaise.

Once again, there is no evidence of JD Vance having sex with a couch. You need to stop calling JD Vance a couchfucker.

Exactly! I’m so tired of hearing that JD Vance fucked a couch. We literally have no evidence that JD Vance fucked a couch. For all we know JD Vance fucked a Lazy Boy, or JD Vance fucked a pound of ground beef heated in the microwave and wrapped in cellophane. Why does everyone assume it was a couch. There really is no way of knowing.

Their Trojan Horse has failed miserably so far. Gotta hand it to a weirdo like Peter Thiel to put up someone so repulsive and totally uncharismatic.

I think that democracy may be okay. Hear me out. Everywhere I turn I keep hearing that democracy has failed for a variety of reasons that I won't rehash here.

What if the "democracy has failed" assertion is meant to dishearten people who would otherwise fight for it? Like, if democracy has already failed then there is no point to fighting the fascists. But, if the fascists have a road map to destroy democracy that relies on little to no resistance from the masses, then convincing people that democracy has failed is a pretty sharp move from a political strategy point of view.

Democracy only fails if we stop fighting for it.

These animals have no morals and will use any trick they can think of. But I think you're right, people will fight on and part of that is stopping people from becoming disheartened.

I don't think true democracy has ever been achieved, where all people have a say in how society operates. So it is, fundamentally, a never ending story.

This country’s democracy has been optimized to benefit a privileged few, the failure has been going on for longer than I’ve been around. We fight fascists for our lives, don’t let some nebulous country rock nonsense about democracy obscure that. It’s not the government that’s worth saving, it’s the people
