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.
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.
Such precious little snowflakes.
Racist doesn’t like being called a racist. What kind of rebrand are they asking for, nazimaxxing?
If a few true words are all it takes to tire him out, he clearly doesn’t have the stamina for the presidency. Like his boss, Sleepy Don.
Gonna choke on that dog whistle slobbing it so hard
fucking actually wild to claim the country is getting dirtier when objective data shows the exact opposite. overall littering in America has dropped by more than 60% since the 1970s, with roadway and public trash dropping another 34% just in the last six years alone. American metro areas and highways are significantly cleaner today than they were a few decades ago. Municipal waste management, street sweeping, and public cleanup efforts have vastly improved at keeping actual trash off the ground.
All they can do is blame brown people for all of our problems. Like fuck, when was the last time a republican has talked about a coherent solution to a social or economical problem? people are dealing with actual fucking problems: high prices, housing costs, healthcare, wages, infrastructure, energy, and the cost of raising a family. And all the GOP cares about is Muslim and trans people
I just assumed he meant skin colour, not actually dirt/trash in the streets.
You know, the racist way to phrase it, which I simply assume this Republican is being in front of other Republicans(racists)
aw too bad. tire as you like, youre still racist as hell
Weird. Why does JD tie those two things together in his mind? I mean, if he’s not racist?
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.
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?
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?
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!”
The country became poorer and dirtier. Poorer because your billionaire pedo friends were allowed to take everyone’s money. Dirtier because your dotard boss coaxed the deplorables into the sunlight and made himself their king.
