President JD Vance? 20 Things You Should Know About Him and His Billionaire Backers
Trump is unwell and declining fast. What would a JD Vance presidency mean for you?
“Trump’s issues make it likely that a second Trump presidency would really mean a J.D. Vance presidency, even if Trump nominally remains in office. J.D. Vance is just 39, and if voters put Trump into the White House, Vance will be one of the most inexperienced vice presidents in our history. He has held an elected office for just 18 months, winning the office thanks to the backing of entrepreneur and venture capitalist Peter Thiel, who first employed Vance, then invested in his venture capital firm, and then contributed an unprecedented $15 million to his Senate campaign.”
Vance and Thiel make common cause with others who are open about their determination to dismantle the federal government… they are sometimes collectively called a “New Right”. Some of the thinkers both Vance and Thiel follow, notably dystopian blogger Curtis Yarvin, argue that America’s democratic institutions have created a society that is, as James Pogue put it in a 2022 Vanity Fair article, “at once tyrannical, chaotic, and devoid of the systems of value and morality that give human life richness and meaning.” Such a system must be pulled to pieces.” — Heather Cox Richardson

“Vance is worse and more dangerous than you know”
“Vance in 2016 who literally wrote a warning that Trump could be “America’s Hitler,” called Trump “reprehensible” and “a total fraud” for exploiting his supporters as he declared himself a “Never Trumper.” Vance even refused to vote for Trump in 2016, instead casting a ballot for third party candidate Even McMullin… But that all changed when Vance decided to go into politics and seek the 2022 GOP nomination for Senate in Ohio.” — The Dean’s Report

“J.D. Vance Wants Police To Track People Who Have Abortions. He pressured federal regulators last June to kill a privacy rule that prevents police from accessing the medical records of people seeking reproductive services, according to documents reviewed by The Lever. The rule was designed to prevent state and local police in anti-abortion states from using private records to hunt down and prosecute people who cross state lines in search of abortion services.
If the Trump-Vance ticket wins this year’s presidential election, the new administration could rescind the rule protecting abortion records from police investigation.” — The Lever
