Vice President JD Vance thinks that Americans are too worried about the “little things” ahead of midterms—like gas prices, debt, Immigration and Customs Enforcement killings, and war.

“This is not the time to sort of gripe about all the little things.… I think every single person who voted for us in 2024 could find something where they wish maybe congressional Republicans had gone further,” Vance told Fox News on Thursday. “The challenge here is between Democrats who want to destroy the country, who want to permanently disempower you … and Republicans who fundamentally are trying to solve the problems that Democrats under Joe Biden created.”

    Little things: little paycheques, little future, little opportunity, little hope. Little things.

    As usual, every accusation is a confession.

    It is astounding that Magats actually believe this bullshit.

        Hatred and fear.

        People always talk about the poor little dumb folks who got sucked in by propaganda. But that’s not the important part. We are all vulnerable to enough brainwashing.

        But it has to be the right brainwashing.

        These people were all brainwashed with “you’re the best because of your birth.”, “Those people were born dirty and evil.”, “I’m going to hurt all those other people in the worst way a person can imagine.”

        Magats aren’t bad because they were propagandized. They are bad, and that was used to propagandize them.

    We should be focused on the big things. I agree.

    Like my powerful need to eat. (along with the rest of my family’s).

    Also my powerful need to be safe and health care.

    And generally have a functional government that respects my most basic rights as a person.

    Did I mention my powerful need to eat?

    Democrats who want to destroy the country.

    Meanwhile said Democrats in New York: you can unsubscribe from services more easily. Hope this makes your life a little easier.

    Well, not all of us have a debilitating fetish for couches, so we focus on “little things” like paying for housing and feeding our families

        bingo.

        if you have to tell people to not believe the things they observe, think, and feel, immediately prior to an election… well… lets just say that if thats the case, things have not gone as planned.
