The most dangerous thing people can do is dismiss JD Vance as just a “yes man”. Just from his Wiki page, he’s a NYT published author, a Marine, and has ties to Peter Thiel. He’s married to a brown woman, and they both attended Yale for higher education beyond just a bachelors. The cultural capital he has potential to wield is actually immense, and to top it all off he is ONLY 39 years old.
It’s a clear sign of the oligarch-aligned members of the party are really hoping Trump just keels over in office and this guy gets to take over.
It’s a really interesting pick, and I have no doubts that it’s to appeal to the neoliberals and centrist/undecided voters.
