Trump is terrible but I can just about see why the camp exuberance appeals to some people. Vance appears to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever? He’s full of himself, nasty and sycophantic, a really toxic combination.
I saw more combat than Vance, and the closest I got was being headbutted by an illegal immigrant I caught whilst on border patrol in the Hong Kong New Territories 🤣
Vance, Musk (and Trump to a lesser degree) all fall into this weird class where people keep making unnecessary orphan asides to assert that they're actually very intelligent.
It's weird because it generally doesn't connect to anything - these are mostly not people saying "they're very intelligent *so you should just assume this is programme is good*" - it's more like a confused reflex.
Or a weird displacement mechanism - like looking at a map of Europe in 1940 and then pointedly launching into an essay on your thoughts and speculations about Hitler's secret views on theology.

With the UK Vance fans as the sillybillies.

I doubt I'd cope...
I can't be bothered to listen to his rotten podcast to find out if he's recanted.
