JD Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate, is back in the headlines—but not for anything you’d expect from a potential VP. This time, he's got a double whammy
Yeah, outrageous headline, obvious hypocrisy. But if you read to the end, the article is basically in support of it:
But let’s get real: both sides of the political aisle are pointing fingers and making things worse. Trump and Vance have their supporters, while the Democrats are no strangers to throwing some fiery jabs themselves.
One side is spreading lies. The other side is calling bullshit – but that’s rude, so BoTh SiDeS aRe aT fAuLt.
Also, what’s the alternative being promoted? If responding to, debunking, and rebuking the lies of Trump/Vance is “pointing fingers” and adding to negative discourse, then are they suggesting to just shut up about it and let the lies go unchecked? How does that serve anyone’s interest?
Feels like normative bias and the naive belief that Trump can’t cause any real damage and everything will be fine in the end.
They’re very different in frequency, too. The left only recently started with the fiery jabs whereas previously they were “above” making comments like that…it’s been the core of the republican playbook for awhile now

Well, it would serve their interests just fine.
Who can forget the time Tim Walz’s loose remarks inspired a series of bukaki attacks at the Gainsville IKEA?
