    So… there is a limit.

    Apparently, you can’t be both black and nazis and get elected by the GOP

      Oh you can definitely be both of those things, you just can’t say it out loud publicly. That’s the only thing he messed up in Republicans’ eyes

        I don’t know. IMO we’d have to re-run the experiment controlling for the type of pornography to be certain.

      I’m curious how many votes he lost for being black and how many for being a nazi. I have a guess which number is greater.

        Prolly lost more votes for getting outed as a porn addict rather than being a nazi.

          JD Vance is openly looking into zoophilic porn and republicans don’t mind it.

              Which reminds me of that old joke: “but you fuck one coach…”

              Edit: just spotted my typo… I’ll leave it in😊

                but he hasn’t even fucked a couch!

                Or so he insists. One doth protest too much, methinks.

                  I never said anyone did, i was just reminded about a joke describing how some actions overshadows other activities when retold among peers.

    “A good chunk of those sticking by Robinson may only be doing so because he is a Republican.”

    No. Shit. Lol

    When asked whether Vance believes Robinson’s denial that the comments were made by him, Vance said that the situation needed to “play out.”

    “I don’t not believe him, I don’t believe him — I just think that you have to let these things sometimes play out in the court of public opinion."

    Remember that for Republicans it’s not a matter of how despicable a candidate is, it’s only a matter of if they’re popular or not. Vance came right out and said that the truth doesn’t matter, just public opinion. If 50.1% of voters in North Carolina were going to vote for Robinson, the GOP wouldn’t care what he said. If that number was 49.9%, it wouldn’t matter if he was an amalgamation of Jesus Christ and Captain America, they’d throw him to the curb and claim they’d never heard of him.

    They have no principles. The only thing they believe in is power; getting it, and using it against the people they hate. That is their only true ideology.

      He’s a self-loathing black republican. And a self-described black nazi. He’s like a unicorn to Republicans.

    I want his defeat to be written in history books. I want his name to be remembered in history the way we remember Darwin Awards winners.

    This guy is pure lead brains.
