The attacks are getting even more retarded, I saw a newsweek headline about the controversy of J.D. Vance looking at his opponents side of the screen when playing halo 2 in college.

They're not attacks... They are just calling out JD's own hypocrisy and greed. The dude hated Trump. There is plenty of evidence on that. All of a sudden, he does a 180, for no reason, and is called out for it.

They're not attacks. This is holding someone accountable and recognizing the plain as day hypocrisy.

Tim Walz literally had a "snitch line" with which Minnesotans could report their neighbors to the authorities if they broke covid restrictions. He also once said that "one person's socialism is another person's neighborliness". Hard pass.

President Trump scammed American workers. He promised to bring back manufacturing, raise wages, fix trade deals, close the carried interest loophole, and help small farmers. But everything President Trump achieved were things the Republican machine wanted. We got a tax cut for Jeff Bezos, deregulation for special interests, and giveaways to agriculture conglomerates.

President Trump let the Bush wing of the GOP run all his agencies. His Interior Secretary was an oil & gas lobbyist. His Defense Secretary was a Raytheon lobbyist. His EPA Administrator was a coal lobbyist. His HHS Secretary was a pharmaceutical lobbyist. And his Labor Secretary was a lawyer for mega corporations.

President Trump’s supposed support for farmers ($28 billion) all went to Big Ag conglomerates.

We had the worst rioting and looting this country had seen since the 60s under President Trump. He inflamed racial tensions and didn’t keep us safe. Instead of using federal law enforcement to stop the rioting, Trump thought it was good optics to let Democrat-run cities burn.

President Trump bragged about arming Ukraine more than Obama did. He also walked away unilaterally from the intermediate range nuclear missile treaty with Russia, destabilizing our relationship. He also exacerbated tensions between Ukraine and Russia that ultimately caused a war.

Trump appointed the worst neocons to the highest positions of power in his administration: John Bolton, HR McMaster, and Robert O’Brien. Now, Lindsey Graham is one of his top advisors and likely to be his Secretary of State.

President Trump bombed Syria, killed an Iranian general, and failed to fulfill his promise of ending the war in Afghanistan.

President Trump invented lockdowns. He shut down millions of small businesses and facilitated the greatest wealth transfer to billionaires in this country’s history.

President Trump did nothing to solve the opioid crisis. It got far worse under his tenure while his appointees running HHS were in the pocket of big pharma.

If you think a second Trump term would be any different, you are engaging in wishful thinking.

I'm curious, do you consider it a good or bad thing that people are capable of getting over their political disagreements and past grievances and work together for the common good?

Personally I hold a lot more respect for JD Vance who can get over it than Mike Pence who cannot. But then again its all upside to me since a Pence presidency was my biggest fear from a Trump presidency

I think grudges are a useful social tool which discourage bad behavior.

Texas went too far with those anti-abortion bills. And if Greg Abbott ever appeared on a presidential ticket, it would be totally fair to bring this episode up. But he isn't. Kamala picked a commie in soccer dad's clothing as her running mate while Trump picked a guy whose only weak point is that he's a nerd with occasional socially awkward tendencies.
