For *you*. Vance is incredibly charismatic and it's dangerous to ignore it. If you only listen to how he speaks and not what he's actually saying, he's very persuasive. Style over substance, as a Liverpudlian baker says, but that's what people gravitate towards.

I gotta be honest with you, I don't understand how you could possibly think he's charismatic. Nobody talks about him for a reason, he's a fucking weirdo even among the fascists

I know several people who listen to him with rapt attention. There's a reason he became popular enough that Ron Howard directed his memoir. I understand *you* don't see it but the appeal is not meant for you. Again, it's for people who care about style over substance and he knows how to bullshit.

“People” (using the term loosely) buy tickets to monster truck rallies & Body Worlds exhibitions. They hang photos of dog vomit on their walls too. That proves exactly nothing. Though, as we have all heard (thin strained nasal voice filtered by a cocaine-eroded septum) “Many people are saying . . .”

he himself didn’t become popular; it was the story he wrote.

Charismatic? For the Thiel crowd, sure, but during the campaign he was lucky to get 100 people to show up for an event when alone. I don’t think the MAGA base is as mesmerized by his style. Without that appeal to the poorly educated, would MAGA survive or is it truly a Trump cult?
