The quote about the "postmenopausal women" is one thing, a bad thing certainly, but listen to the delivery. It's that NPR-like delivery, like he's choosing his words very carefully because he wants to be precise. He wants everyone to understand. It's clear he considers this a subtle and sophisticated argument, one he's spent a great deal of time formulating. It's like listening to Elizabeth Warren without the passion, but all the earnestness. The buzzwords. There's got to be 4.385 metric fuck-tons of buzzwords in that roughly two minute clip. I would need a transcript to pull them all out. If they were golf balls they'd fill the Houston Astrodome. This is what passes for erudition in the world JD Vance lives in.
It's great that your mother-in-law took a sabbatical to take care of her grandchild, JD. Good for her. Good for you, by the way, who saved all the money you would have had to pay for child care. But that wouldn't have been a big problem, JD, would it? Because you're a millionaire venture capitalist with a billionaire sugar daddy. But good for her. I'm glad she had the freedom to make that choice. I'd bet a lot of people would like to make that choice. But they don't give year-long sabbaticals to people who work at Home Depot. You only get that when you're an elite professor of biology somewhere.
The host. Why didn't that guy ask Senator Vance, a man in a position to make things happen, why he hadn't drafted legislation that would help working class people make the same clearly beneficial choice his mother-in-law could make because of her wealth? Wonder what he would have said?
Okay. I just listened to the JD Vance audio.
Give me a minute. I need a minute.
Okay.
Deep breath. Exhale.
Wow.

Good Lord. This guy. This effing guy.
Did none of J.D.'s conservative friends tell him that mothers are supposed to be raising their own children?
He's weird AND creepy.
