J.D. Vance on Joe Rogan
The day Vance's life started to turn into a classic 1970s paranoid thriller.
One highlight of the Rogan-Vance discussion
is the VP nominee recounting a true story that sounds like the plot of a classic 1960s-1970s paranoid assassination thriller like Parallax View, Winter Kills, or Manchurian Candidate: The Presidential nominee tells the young protagonist that he’s probably going to pick him as his Veep … In fact, let’s do the announcement today in Butler, Pennsylvania! But, on second thought, the candidate decides, we’ll wait until tomorrow to make it public.
The hero goes home to his family to wait and (presumably) discusses how their lives are likely to change, such as tomorrow they’ll have Secret Service protection everywhere they go so they’ll have to carefully plan everything ahead of time. But today, the last day of our normal life, let’s go to the mini-golf course! The kids all cheer. [By the way, I’m making this part up about the family discussion, but it sounds plausible.]
At the bar at the miniature golf course, the protagonist sees the video of the candidate being shot in the head and going down.
Just as LBJ in Dallas on 11/22/1963 assumed that if They (whoever They might turn out to be — LBJ’s first guess was Castro, while RFK’s first guess was the Mafia) shot JFK, They might be gunning for LBJ too. So LBJ hustled onto Air Force One on the tarmac in Dallas and ordered wheels up, not being sworn in as President until the jet was safely in the air on the way back to Washington.
But in this real-life movie, the VP designee lacks Secret Service protection for another 24 hours. So, the hero grabs his kids, drives home, loads his guns, and stands sentry duty.
Of course, to many Democrats, this sounds “weird,” their all purpose sorority girl / assistant high school football coach response to Vance’s obvious intelligence:
Another interesting moment includes Joe lucidly explaining the hidden role of autogynephilia in the transgender mania of the last decade:

In contrast, the New York Times has only mentioned “autogynephilia” twice since 1851 and not in the 2020s:
The Washington Post has mentioned the psychiatric condition twice, the last time in 2003.
The Post’s 1998 article on the Unabomber’s urge to change his sex is pretty interesting.
But who wants interesting and important explanations for huge social trends when the Narrative demands that the prestige press just shut up about the real reasons?
Trying to push JD Vance as “weird”, then having him go on all of the “regular guy” podcasts and sound like a “regular guy” seems like it was a huge self own for the Harris campaign. I really hope so at least. People like Tim Dillon and Theo Vonn also have a sizable female audience as well. My GF and her friends introduced me to Tim actually. This is what most of my buddies and I, regular 28-35YO 9-5ers listen to at work, in the car, etc.
Also very funny that people act like Tony Hinchcliffe is some random racist far right comic coming out of nowhere. Just a weekend or two ago he was a guest picker of the Texas Georgia game on ESPNs College Gameday in Austin. Disney didn’t seem to take issue with him making a couple gay jokes lol.
The real Narrative here (or the mega-Narrative) is how Civil Rights or the Hero's Journey From Victim to Liberation aka Social Justice became the sacred religion substitute for secular liberals.
Social Justice/Civil Rights, like all great faiths, has a priesthood/doctrinal wing, a proselytizing/missionary wing, a political wing and a fundraising/business wing (among many others, and with all overlapping). The root of Transmania is the unexpectedly quick victory of the gay marriage battle, which left the new faith without a sacred crusade to rally around—of course declaring Mission Accomplished and heading home was never an option, for political and financial reasons of course, but also because the modern Left's Permanent Revolution is like a shark that dies unless it keeps moving. There had to be some other oppressive load-bearing wall that needed to be sledgehammered and what they hit upon was the mammalian sex binary and the pain it causes certain sad creatures who believe that nature has played a cruel joke upon them and dropped them in a wrongly sexed body.
That all of it is based on pseudoscience and a Praetorian Guard of lies—still to this day no one can give a straight definition of "Gender"—has only made the movement that much stronger and more successful. People will rarely throw themselves and their kids into the volcano over facts and reality, but once they've absorbed a sacred myth, they'll gladly jump in with the whole family rather than relinquish it.
But no one's gonna admit to themselves that they mutilated their own or someone else's child just so men who like to jerk off in a bra and panties are allowed to wander freely in ladies' changing rooms. The enormous psychic and emotional energy that Social Justice believers place on their sacred Victims will need to gradually flow elsewhere—right now there's migrants and Palestinians, but it'll have to be somewhere closer to home.
