"How do you deal with the fact that Trump will die of old age soon and you basically voted for J.D. Vance instead?"
They don’t care, they like Vance too.
They relate to his general unlikability and being a piece of shit person.
Whatever makes sense.
looks like people missed the reference
Okay, good.
Many more used to too
They would vote for Kim Jong Un if they thought it would it would upset “libruhls”.
Here's a fact, there are an overwhelming number of north Koreans that support kim jong un despite it being insane. There is no saving these people. There is no walking them back. We either submit to their cause or they will drop the nukes themselves. The sooner we come to terms with it the sooner we know what must be done.
Asking north koreans rather or not they like their murderous dictator that will make their family disappear is not exactly a good indicator if average citizens likes him.
That's what trump wants for you.
I think the point is that no matter how objectively awful a person is, someone out there is going to like them regardless.
That's literally why my several members of my family voted for Trump. They really don't like Trump (they voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries), but they really like Vance and hope he'll take over at some point.
I was blown away, because I was under the impression that Vance was fairly universally disliked. I immediately responded with some equivalent of "clearly we watch very different news."
Different media diets create different opinions. You're not shoveling Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan down your ear holes every day. That shapes your view of the world just like Stewart and Colbert and Aaron Sorkin did for millennials.
Wait, it's physically possible to like Vance? I was sure the dislike is on a genetic level like uncanny valley.
There seems to be a pretty strong correlation between the age someones parents die and the age they're likely to die.
Trump's dad lived until 93 and his mom live until 88. He might be here for a bit.
Just learn to shoot straight.
They didn't have the lifestyle problems he does though. His diet, lack of exercise, and possibility of long-term damage from COVID put him at a much higher risk of dying younger.
We can only hope.
