The Right doesn’t take orders from the NYT, or respect its opinions, but is happy to use the NYT as “nonpartisan” bullets in its weapons. Transphobic liberals, however, *do* take a lot of guidance from the NYT, and heed its reporting on the subject. It’s an arms-dealer to some, commander to others.

I'm not normally vengeful, but I want to point to Vance's nomination and ascension as the product of every purported liberal who touted his book as "revolutionary" over the objections of all the folks who knew better. That shit is partially on them, and they need to own that.

JD Vance is the perfect choice for Trump. A total loser who Trump can bully and who will take it because he’s desperate to be accepted by the worst cunts in history.
