I read an update of Stupid Things Vance Said in Guardian. Some science person said Vance was the philosophical bridge between christo-fascists and the online manosphere. Explains why they appreciate him more than normal people do.

Just finished an online book discussion of some Bible: Book of Timothy passages that seem to fit Vance's ideas to a T. Problem is they are thought to be inauthentic by scholars and contradicted by passages considered more authentic. Trolls showed up--you could tell they were practically slavering in love with the misogynist passages. All the stuff where Jesus said as you act with the least of these, you act with me, means nothing. Only excuses to be cruel matter.

Wonder what it feels like to be betrayed by someone pretending to care about your deceased loved ones?

Surely, Vance is a shoe-in for the Darwin Political Award this year.

So I'm reading bullet point by bullet point while memorizing the spelling of "aposematic" (hey, I did it without looking!) and thinking up ways to use it in a sentence without coming across as a pointy head, and thus preoccupied I come to the very last bullet point: "ā€¢ Well, thatā€™s not entirely fair. Some Trump supporters are just unregenerate fascists." Readers, I lost it. Now I'm looking for ways to use *that* in a sentence. Carry on, D.R.!

Methinks the "orangey dimpled splotchy face" has miscegenated with the "bleach blond coiffed ratty hair." Damned if I can tell where one ends and the other begins.
