In one photo there is one confident person doing a surprisingly normal activity that makes them happy.

In the second photo there's a sell-out, Trump-supporting weirdo.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 93 points 3 months ago

He claimed he was anti-drag and pro-couchfucking, yet here he's dressed in drag and not fucking a couch

I'm starting to think we shouldn't trust this guy

[–] Rustywhims@lemmy.world 73 points 3 months ago (3 children)

At this point, I’m wondering if JD Vance is actually a Democrat that is purposely tanking the GOP.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 19 points 3 months ago

At this point Kamela Harris needs to credit him in her inauguration speech

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's the theory my wife and I are leaning towards.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 19 points 3 months ago (3 children)

It's not a bad one considering Vance's history of being a Never-Trumper, this could actually be a 5D Chess Play

[–] bradinutah@thelemmy.club 9 points 3 months ago

Please please please let there be a huge reveal and October Surprise! We're rooting for you, JD! And then you can lay on that eyeliner as thick as we all know you want to! Finally let the bad weird go!

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

His wife and his respective wikipedia pages really give that feeling.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

He brought his non-white immigrant wife with the least "Murrican" sounding name to give a speech to a crowd holding signs demanding mass deportations and a "white nation"

He's either trolling Trump or is 100% incapable of reading a room.

Honestly it could go either way.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That's par for the course. Plenty of Republicans talked shit on trump but fell in line once he won the party nomination.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 62 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Maybe we can start a rumour that he’s secretly trans.

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 3 months ago

If you look closely, JD Vance has no Adam's Apple.

Seriously though, I think the alt right transvestigators are already on him for the eyeliner thing. They are big mad that Vance wears eyeliner regularly.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 months ago

I heard he's openly trans...

[–] kjaeselrek@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago

Excuse me this is stolen valor

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I believe the lady's real name is Jamie Bowman or something like that...

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No dead naming. Even for VP candidates.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago (6 children)

James Bowman changed his name to JD Vance to get away from a moniker that he associated with trauama, a life he didn't want to live, and someone he felt he wasn't.

He doesn't think transpeople deserve to do the same.

Deadnaming him feels appropiate, I'm treating him the way he treats me.

[–] yngmnwntr@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Same with Rafael Cruz and other regressives who have changed their name for personal reasons. As long as they insist on using people's dead names I will only refer to them by theirs. The golden rule, treat others as you wish to be treated.

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 7 points 3 months ago

If they opt out of polite society, then they do not deserve the privileges of polite society.

Is that why he wears all that makeup?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 40 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's a fellow who likes eyeliner.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 46 points 3 months ago (2 children)
[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 78 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can tell this is AI because he is on the couch instead of in it.

[–] don@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Outstanding burn, carry on.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Carpet burns are a bitch.
Or so I've heard from my anonymous friend J.D.notV.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

prompt : JD vance sitting on a couch, with a wig and makeup holding a blahaj

AI : best I can do is a dolphin

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

I'm glad it failed if that's the case, I'm not trans, but I'd personally hate to see that asshole with their symbol.

I want him to stay exactly where he is being the comedic relief dragging down Trumps campaign.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is there something wrong with me? I've no problem with women in drag. I support Trans rights. Except, there are zero photos of me in drag? Did I miss the memo?

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You don't need to personally enjoy drag to be supportive. It's fine if it's not your favourite content, as long as you want to keep it legal and normal / not stigmatised.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm just saying. Seems like these GOP losers always have done enough drag to have been photographed in it.

Well, that didn’t take long to find

[–] SirNameHere@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They say the eyes are windows to the soul. And for some reason his have chalk outlines where the soul once laid.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

It's paint, to block the light from getting in.

[–] SonOfMothman@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just like that he thinks a wig is worn down, low on the forehead and not… ya know where the hair line is

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I mean it's probably for Halloween and he doesn't know any better. I wouldn't. But the irony is hilarious and shows that he doesn't have a spine.

[–] don@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago

Couchfucker Vance is a fuckin hypocrite?

No fuckin way.

[–] Commander_Keen@reddthat.com 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Are all politicians drag queens? Cause it seems that way. ( not that I have a problem with it.)

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

He's afraid of what he could become, so he takes out his frustration on others.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago

Only cause he's terrible at it

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I can only dream of having wingtip eyeliner skills as good as JD Vance's

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

He probably got his heart broken in highschool when the football player he fell for didn't want to kiss him back.

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

What's next, Vance? You are going to dump Trump and adopt Sander's as your running mate?

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

Course she wants to outlaw that after the evidence of her in that shake & go wig

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

People that got rejected from RuPaul's Drag Race gotta work somewhere.

[–] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It looks like a guy and his couch.
