    In the republican party a ‘normal gay guy’ happens to be a closeted homophobe who loves to hate.

      Check out The Bulwark podcast. Tim Miller seems like a pretty normal gay guy, who is a republican, and hates the shit out of Trump. I honestly can’t conceive of who Vance is talking about with this.

    “If you are a middle-class or upper-middle class white parent, and the only thing that you care about is whether your child goes into Harvard or Yale, obviously that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper-middle class kids,” said Vance, who has talked about his family’s economic struggles growing up and has a degree from Yale Law School. “But the one way that those people can participate in the DEI bureaucracy in this country is to be trans, and is there a dynamic that’s going on where, if you become trans, that is the way to reject your white privilege?”

    I don’t even know where to begin with this…

      According to JD “Couch-Fucker” Vance, I transitioned at 32 years old to… get into Harvard or Yale? Or become a DEI hire? I already have a degree and was already gainfully employed. I actually lost rights and privilege transitioning. I’m just a woman, simple as that. Maybe if he finally comes out of the furniture store and embraces his true self, he could get past this? This man is fucking dangerous and creepy as fuck.

        I think the key is “DEI bureaucracy”. He’s trying to say they don’t let white kids into Yale unless they’re trans because being ‘just white’ isn’t enough diversity.

        No, Trump isn’t thinking about it on that level. You think Trump is concerned about kids deciding they’re Trans to get into Yale? His only concern is that when he goes to grab a pussy, he doesn’t get a handful of dick instead.

        (Unless that dick is Rudy in drag, but we all know about that one…)

    Vance seems to be talking a lot about people that are gay or he thinks are gay. Humm.

    I have quite a few gay friends that are about as normal as can be (ok maybe slightly nerdy) but not one of them is a Trump supporter. Anecdotal yes but it’s a pretty large sample.

      I think they’re just trying to set expectations as high as possible so that if they lose, then their accusations of cheating will sound more plausible, giving them more room to actually try to cheat the election.
