Ohio Republican U.S. Senator J.D. Vance published a 1203-word diatribe Monday night filled with falsehoods and feeble hypocrisies, demanding that Democrats "tone down the rhetoric" while insisting he opposes "censorship." Critics are accusing the GOP vice presidential nominee of hypocrisy and gaslig...

    Vance makes more sense as a Trump VP than Pence ever did. Just a big lyin’ sack of shit who doesn’t care about facts or reality, just saying whatever BS line serves his purpose in that very moment.

    Pence is a christian fascists fuck, but at least he has principals. They are misguided evil controlling ones, but the man at least has a backbone.

      Pence was chosen to reassure hardcore Christians and more “moderate” Republicans that Trump wasn’t such a bad guy. Pair the know. Philanderer with a weirdo who isn’t even allowed in the same room as a woman without his wife present. Now they know that wasn’t necessary, as all the Republicans are pretty much aboard the Trump train, so now they just want a guy that will do whatever Trump wants

      Think of it as the society being the victim. The clearest example is when Trump started talking about Fake News. The goal is to devoid words of meaning, to reason based only on emotional attachment, to eliminate critical thinking. This guy follows the same strategy.

      Below a definition of gaslighting, I think it applies pretty well to the kind of society these people are leaving behind:

      Examples of gaslighting behaviors are denying something the other person knows is true, spreading rumors about them, and blaming the victim. The mental health impact of gaslighting includes feelings of powerlessness, confusion, isolation, disorientation, and low self-esteem

      I thought the same thing. People are obsessed with the word gaslighting.

      This seems more like textbook hypocrisy. Person doing thing talks about the harms of others doing that thing.

          … What?

          Is this some weird “victim mentality” thing?

          People love to use it because it got popular and grew to mean more than the original definition to the point where it just got generic to encompass a wide range of things. It’s the same as cringe.

              By this metric, one can argue that we currently “misuse” a lot of words in the English language, but the reality is language evolves. Think about how the definition of “nice” has evolved from meaning “ignorant or stupid” in the 1300s to it’s current meaning.

                So gaslighting should change to what? Telling someone they are doing something that they feel they aren’t?

                  I’ve noticed this a lot the last 5-10 years. Nobody uses words wrong anymore it’s all “language evolves” and “language is descriptive not prescriptive.”

                  People are just using the word wrong.

    Classic manipulative bully behavior. Antagonize and abuse a victim until they react with hostility. And then play the victim and implore for peace so the victim looks like the aggressor. Though Vance is such an incompetent sack of shit that it’s following nobody who’s not in that death cult.
