Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

The face of of the Nuevo cultural warrior alt-right since 2016 has been Trump, but Trump isn’t of that movement. He’s good at pitching to them, giving them a god emperor figure to lionize, but he’s an outside avatar for him. Trump doesn’t care enough about anything than his optics to get deep into that.
Vance is though. He’s been stewing in that terminally online world for years now, so suddenly he’s the face of what until now had existed as an abstract for voters that weren’t paying that much attention. Which makes it clear that it’s not a fourth reich movement of ubermensches, it’s sad sack, whiny, doughy white boys. And that’s so easy to mock.
