Vice President JD Vance thinks that Americans are too worried about the “little things” ahead of midterms—like gas prices, debt, Immigration and Customs Enforcement killings, and war.

“This is not the time to sort of gripe about all the little things.… I think every single person who voted for us in 2024 could find something where they wish maybe congressional Republicans had gone further,” Vance told Fox News on Thursday. “The challenge here is between Democrats who want to destroy the country, who want to permanently disempower you … and Republicans who fundamentally are trying to solve the problems that Democrats under Joe Biden created.”

Republicans: "You're too focused on the little things."

Also republicans: "WHAT HAVE YOU GOT IN YOUR FUCKING UNDERWEAR?!?"

    Little Things

    The files are not "little".

    What he really means is "y'all are too focused on things that make us look bad", which is also everything.

    The little things: affordable health-insurance, being able to eat, having a job that pays enough, affordable housing instead of homelessness.

    And the takeover of media and other ways to control how people think, creating the echo chambers to tell you what is real and what isn't. There are echo chambers everywhere, it's human nature to settle where you feel best and confirming of your world views. But the Fox News et al is a totally artificial and heavily walled version of this, for that purpose. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

    It really is that simple. As someone who's gone through the enshittified version of school, I can attest shit is bad. I'm even more astonished this isn't an every second talking point.

    This is a long-term solution and a short term fix.

    Hatred and fear.

    People always talk about the poor little dumb folks who got sucked in by propaganda. But that's not the important part. We are all vulnerable to enough brainwashing.

    But it has to be the right brainwashing.

    These people were all brainwashed with "you're the best because of your birth.", "Those people were born dirty and evil.", "I'm going to hurt all those other people in the worst way a person can imagine."

    Magats aren't bad because they were propagandized. They are bad, and that was used to propagandize them.

    and Republicans who fundamentally are trying to solve the problems that Democrats under Joe Biden created.

    Do dickheads like "JD" or any other accomplices name what any of these are and specifically which policies caused them?

    We should be focused on the big things. I agree.

    Like my powerful need to eat. (along with the rest of my family's).

    Also my powerful need to be safe and health care.

    And generally have a functional government that respects my most basic rights as a person.

    Did I mention my powerful need to eat?

    Sorry, that's part of "affordability" a made-up word by the Dumocrats (did you even know dumb has a b in it?) and also "JD" says it's part of the "little things".

    So...if you are going into debt just to eat, don't worry, that's "little things" and "JD" "Vance" has some real galaxy-brain shit to talk to you about.

    The metrics for measuring our economic health haven't been tied to the well being of the total population for a long time. The entire political system has been hiding behind wall-street growth for generations. Inflating that even with money magic. The moment we stepped off the gold standard we started playing a game of math and fantasy.
