While speaking on the final night of the GOP midterm convention, Vice President JD Vance said the country was “poorer” and “dirtier” before President Donald Trump was reelected for a second term.
“We were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer, and less safe and less prosperous,” Vance said on the final day of the two-day convention in Dallas, Texas.
His sentiment appeared to reflect the administration’s efforts to combat rising immigration rates in the U.S., a key campaign point during the 2024 election. Vance himself promoted unsubstantiated claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, in September 2024, spreading misinformation about the community abducting and eating pets.
This is so funny because to the people he’s pandering to, his children are the dirt in this country.
It’s baffling to me that he is in an interracial marriage and is… Fine? With saying this kind of stuff? Idk maybe she is a monster too and it’s just cherry picking what is considered bad in their moral compass…
She must be a monster, she married JD Vance.
A few days ago Vance also got really riled up when discussing this kinda stuff. He said something about El Sayed not being the kinda person his hick granpappy would approve of and El Sayed shot back asking if the hick granpappy would approve of his wife. It really set him off, going on about how El Sayed shouldn’t bring Vance’s family into this. It was kinda funny to watch him squirm.
JD Vance is nothing. He’s not evil or stupid or whatever like the other MAGA people. He’ just a guy that nobody likes.
Wait, sounds like Vance brought his family into the convo first. The mental gymnastics these sad sacks of shit perform boggles me.
He does that a lot. He tries to sneak in some "veiled’ attack or remark and when people call him out for it he says they’re attacking him or his family. He’s a pathetic little man that thinks is somehow smarter than everyone else.
Here’s the article about the El Sayed bit if you wanna see it yourself. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/01/abdul-el-sayed-jd-vance-evil
Thanks for the link, it was a fun read.
They roll over and play victim the moment someone pushes back on them
It’s baffling to me that he is in an interracial marriage and is… Fine?
Usha Vance is a very pale skinned, high caste (Brahmin), wealthy migrant who was set up with JD Vance by Yale Law kingmaker Amy Chua.
This was a political marriage in the feudal sense. Vance is married in order to secure a social tie to Indian power brokers, as part of a generations-long effort by American elites to encircle Asia and control their domestic politics.
Same reason why Mitch McConnell married Tiawanese shipping magnet Elaine Chao.
That’s really interesting. Crazy this shit still happens. I guess I’m just not rich enough. And I’m gonna be pedantic, it’s magnate when you’re referring to someone who is a pillar of industry, not magnet 😉
I guess I’m just not rich enough.
This is as much a Yale thing as a Rich thing. Lots of weird freaky Trad types in the Ivy League.
That part checks out. There’s a lot of weird creepy over conservative trad types amongst the 1%.
She is not pale skinned by any Indian measure. Look at the actresses, they are a good bar to compare to.
My theory is that he’s slowly and deliberately trying to poison his own marriage so his wife will divorce him, then he’ll try to marry Erika Kirk.
The leather pants she wore during her Charlie Kirk grief tour reminded him of his couch and it hasn’t left his mind since.
Indian people tend to be considered white in a lot of American spaces. May have to do with the amount of Indian immigrants that are higher caste/lighter skinned. They tend to be super racist towards black people and darker Asians
Maybe it’s because I’m from a weird Californian region but I fell like Indians are generally pumped into the “dirty Asians” category regardless of caste or skin tone. But also I’ve seen really racist assholes defend the local Sikhs in particular so maybe my region is just weird.
Just because the couch is leather, does not mean he’s in an interracial relationship.
Maybe he hates his kids?
I’ve never heard him say he doesn’t
Fascism has taken on a new form when it comes to race. I think people focus too heavily on the historical examples of fascism in an attempt to “reason” it as an ideology.
The racial structures of fascism are there to uphold white supremacy, patriarchy, and class. The contradiction is useful for the fascist. It is not a flaw or something that will cause conflict to other fascist. JD vance’s wife being Indian is seen as “useful”. Nothing more. That’s primarily how fascism operates. It’s why the definition of “Aryan” changed throughout place and time under Nazi rule. It’s the reason why who is considered “White” didn’t even include Germans when Benjamin Franklin used was using the term.
What’ll probably help you with the racist label is if you stop doing and saying racist things all the time 🤷♂️
The kkk just can’t wrap their heads around this.
Counting or not counting gang racism?
The origins of the pet eating accusation is some woman complaining her cat was missing and accusing their neighbour of eating it. The cat came back the very next day.
Racist doesn’t like being called a racist. What kind of rebrand are they asking for, nazimaxxing?
Whether or not America was “dirtier and poorer” before Trump is immaterial here. Ascribing that to immigrants and people who look like immigrants is racist.
I’m sure they are tired of being called racist, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
It also wasn’t “less safe”, violent crime has been dropping for quite a while in most areas
No the FBI changed the definition of violent crime under Biden administration and have specifically ignored certain areas to bias the numbers.

Weird. Why does JD tie those two things together in his mind? I mean, if he’s not racist?
The billionaires are the only group of “welfare queens” making the world a dirtier place.
Such precious little snowflakes.
Ok, if you’re not racist, then why do the people who like nazi salutes only march in support of your party?
“We’re tired of being called racist so I’m about to say something racist!”
“Poorer and dirtier” says guy proud to claim that he was raised as white trash.
source: was also raised white trash, but did manage to develop class consciousness.
says guy proud to claim that he was raised as white trash
Guy who was actually not raised as “white trash”, and who has been lying and changing his tune constantly throughout his public life.
Elvis Jell-O molds are MY CULTURE, VANCE, NOT YOURS
congrats on starting your journey to recovery.
Ah perpetual victimhood
“We are tired of being called racists for noticing America is getting dirty. Call us racist because we view people who are different than us as inherently lesser.”
I mean, not to get too deep into the weeds here but it seems like he’s literally saying dirtier because of the people in it, not like trash dirtier. It’s not even a misdirect on the phrase it’s a straight up dogwhitsle calling poor people dirty and equating that to non-white people. Your analysis is pretty spot on but more specifically “ Call us racist because we view people who are different than us as inherently dirtier. “ which is straight out of hitlers handbook. Almost like Trump has said handbook nearby, at the ready, like at his bedside table or something…
Totally agree, thinly veiled racism is this administration’s calling card.
That’s what I’m saying tho it’s not thin. It’s not barley even a dog whistle but we’ve pulled that window so far right that saying America is dirty (not trash, but literally the people) is just blatant racism. And you got some guy in here saying it’s paranoia. Ha
Here we go with the dog whistle bullshit.
do you think racists don’t use dog whistles? or that Republicans haven’t been using racist dog whistles since the southern strategy?
It’s democratic paranoia.
it would be great if you could answer the question. Are you saying Dog whistles don’t exist? are you claiming the Republican party hasn’t been using dog whistles since the southern strategy of Nixon’s third presidential campaign?
I didn’t even think conservatives could find their way out here. Fascinating. Do you think dogwhistles don’t exist? Cuz I see dudes around who have em tattooed on them… even tho thier tat doesn’t say heil Hitler, it says 1488, it’s literally what it means. It’s called a dog whistle because it’s meaningless unless you know what the true intentions are.
(Or quite literally, you blow a whistle only dogs can hear, meaning you can only “hear it” if you’re a certain kind of person that’s “in the know”) Trump does it all the time, too, I can prove it if needed. Usually I wouldn’t explain the concept but if you’re a right winger it’s gonna be totally necessary for this conversation to work out.
