Since becoming vice president, JD Vance has posted over 120 times on X. It's easy to mock. But critics of his social media output miss the shrewd strategic way he has been using this platform to advance his ideology and consolidate support from the Trump base. My latest (gift link): - ThreadSky

i feel like explaining how vance uses x should include more detail about how much he engages with and promotes serious right wing white nationalists, up to and including straight up nazis. his ties to them needs to be made more explicit

I don't get what benefit his tweeting is accruing. From your article, it mainly seems like it's winning approval from conservatives, but he's the vice president: he's already the presumptive heir to trump

You are exactly right this is what DEMS keep ignoring DEMS : FECKLESS

Now we just need to find a use for JD.
I suggest doorstop, ship’s anchor, or ballast.

Looks more like using social media to undermine the office of Vice President, but ymmv I guess.

Faced in 2016 with a shambolic Trump administration that didn't expect to win and wasn't prepared to govern or message, "Democratic-aligned politicians and pundits have been playing on easy mode." I wrote about how that has changed today, and what it means. Gift link:

Liberals could sink Twitter if they wanted to, by leaving. That they choose instead to support Elon and the fascist-y types who post there, including the despicable Veep, is a mystery. More so in the context of "why don't Dems do something?"

Getting off Twitter is a small thing. But it's something.

A lot of people in general left Twitter eons ago. It's mostly an alt-right shithole at this point.

He’s a slippery weasel that one. Anything for power and money.

Look up Yuri Bezmenov ex-USSR he predicted everything that's going on in the United Stupid of America...and by stupid I mean MAGA.

Agree. And thanks for the gift link. He has plans, clearly. And even though he’s often the butt of many jokes, he keeps his visibility high. Low visibility hurt the previous VP as ppl claimed they had no idea who she was or what she stood for.

We can’t solve the problem without opening some eyes. Here’s a start.

It's fucking dangerous but the media refuses to call him out on it.
