JD Vance undermines Trump - Meidas Touch

There is commercial halfway through. Worth it to listen to the rest of the broadcast after the commercial. It shows a side to Vance that is just as dishonest and vile as Trump, but sounding confident, sane, and credible to people who don't know better. Vance could be a greater threat than people have anticipated.

that represents the powers that he obeys. He will obey them better than Trump. He will carry out their orders and sound convincing to people who don't know better.

It's easy to write off Trump as insane. People who support the RW agenda object only to Trump's age and dementia. They will be happy to support Vance's promotion of that agenda and turn out to vote for him.

It's up to us to expose Vance's lies and Christian nationalism now, before he takes office.

that there forces out there attempting to make Vance look like the knight in shining armor ready to save the day. He's not. He will be just as bad or worse than Trump. This is not the answer.

because he will come across as sane compared to Trump.

Yes, Vance is being polished up to seem like the great rescuer from Trump's chaos.
