#Vice President-elect Vance

[deadpresidents]

I heard someone say the phrase "Vice President-elect Vance" for the first time on TV a little while ago and I had to walk outside and get some fresh air. I'm still not ready to come to terms with our nightmarish future, and JD Vance being next in line to the White House behind the oldest person ever elected to the Presidency is one of the most difficult realities to accept.

"Riddle me this, Senator Vance: You can sit on it. You'd might like to ride it. But you wouldn't like to sleep on it. What is it?"

"A couch?"

"No, Senator Vance... a horse. The answer is a horse."

“Gentleman, the audience can’t hear you because your mics are cut.”

I kinda love this.

Kamala Harris knew Biden was unfit and led him to failure, now seizing his position. She's a ruthless, power-hungry individual willing to sacrifice America for her ambitions.

PolitiFact

[under-loch-n-key]

Hi everyone. Obviously everyone has seen the news and read the polls and obviously you can tell that we’re likely cooked.

For some reason our country wants to elect the Mango Menace and his gaggle of orange stained goons once again.

I am terrified for myself, my loved ones, my country, our climate, and just everything.

However, I’d like to tell the LGBTQIA+ community these things because I know we are terrified right now.

What happened today, it’s devastating. It angers me too. Some of my closest family voted for that horrible man. I don’t think I can look at them the same way anymore. Especially, when they hold no guilt or remorse about it even after I explained his policies to them. What do I know, I guess.. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

However, as a queer, trans man in this little community, I want ALL of the LGBTQIA+ people who will see this post to know that things will be alright. We all have each other. We know we exist here in the states even if none of us have met. We EXIST.

Just because those orange stained dunderheads want to silence us doesn't change the fact that we exist. We do. We always will. Bigotry cannot fight facts and science. We'll always exist. The only time trans people won't exist is when the human race dies out. Even then, we have other animal species that are queer and trans. No matter what, we will always exist in nature. They cannot change that. They cannot take that from us. Do not lose hope. Even though it's really fucking hard not to.

Do not lose it. The fact that you and I exist is a beacon of hope to another trans and queer person. We exist. None of us want to be left here alone. So we must go on. We must continue to exist. Things WILL be okay. I'll always keep fighting and living for you and every one of my trans and queer brothers, sisters, and siblings.

You existing and simply being here is a beacon of hope to me. Someone who has understands how I'm feeling. Someone who is LIKE me but so different at the same time.

In the grand scheme of the universe, we are very small. However, even though it's small, the fact is that it EXISTS. It's so fucking small in this big void of the cosmos but we're here. We're made of similar components as stars, ones that had to die for us to exist.

I like to think of the sky as when humanity was truly equal. When we were just atoms in the big ol' void, ya know? We didn't fight. We didn't give a shit about all of this stuff. We were allll different types of stars and matter. We were all random as hell, but we just WERE. We coexisted peacefully together in the universe.

Now that those stars are dead as a door nail and some dumb fishy bastard decided to get curious and walk on land, we're all human. Humanity fucking sucks ass sometimes but it's also such a beautiful fucking thing. No matter what happens, a part of us will always exist.

Our existence is embedded in the universe. Nothing can change that. So, please keep living. Be safe, but keep living. Always keep fighting. We belong here just like anyone else.

You belong. You are loved. You are cherished. You are noticed by me and other people here. We all understand each other. So keep going. Again, one day we will all have a better tomorrow. I swear to fucking god or whatever the hell is out there, if anything, however it's unlikely, I will ALWAYS keep fighting for you and WITH you.

Every protest l attend. Every petition I sign. Every time I vote. Every time I go to pride. Every time l simply leave my home as I am. I am doing it for you and all of us. Our people WILL have our damn tomorrow. I'm sick of us not having it. I swear to you we will. So, again, please keep going. Keep fighting. Keep living. Exist. Your existence may be a threat to some bigoted fucker but your existence is precious to someone else. Please do not let them take your right to exist away from you. Keep going.

We’ll have a better tomorrow, the one that we deserve eventually, but we just need get through the hard, bumpy, dirty road first.

Again, we will be okay. Everything will be okay. We’ll get through it. Yes, unfortunately, we will likely see suicide rates and hate crime rates go up and that's disgusting and just all types of awful and depressing. It angers me beyond words.

However, we are strong.

We shouldn't have to be strong though.

What we should be and need to be is loved, accepted, warm, fed, have shelter, and are safe.

For now though, we remain strong. You will always have a place here.

You will live. You will not die, hun. I know the thought creeps in and believe me, I understand. Those thoughts creep in for me too, but we must learn to try to control them. If there's anything I know about us trans and queer folk it's that we're strong, feisty, kind, very sexy, and cheeky as hell. So, if we live, we live because it's our damn right and to be spiteful. We do not owe the people who want to harm us our lives. We just don't. We deserve healthcare. We deserve to love and get married.

We deserve to grow old.

You will grow old. You will be able to go on those trips you've always wanted. You will be able to have that cheesy romance you've always wanted, if you are someone who is wanting a relationship.

You'll be able to sit down and watch your favourite movie. Why? Because you stayed. You didn't give up. Ever. We will always exist.

We will ALWAYS live.

Being transgender has existed before humans even walked this earth and it will still exist when all of us book our holy bus tickets and the blessed holy tax collector comes to collect our debted souls. No matter what, we will live on. They can silence us all they want and erase whatever the fuck they want but that doesn't mean that it's the truth. We're HERE.

We've been here since forever ago. Those Cheeto dusted dunderheads cannot change that. Like I told another person here, other animals and even plants are trans and queer! We've always been here. That won't change, hun.

Everything WILL be okay. We'll always survive and live on. Look at how far we've come in these past years. Many of us thought that we'd be gone already but here we are, two trans people typing away in comment sections on an app where middle age men get off to octopus porn and neko ladies in Japanese school girl outfits because men. and welcome to the internet, I guess. Lmao.

Everything will work out on way or another. We'll have our tomorrow, hun. For now, we gotta buckle down because we're in for a bumpy ride but hey, thankfully on bumpy you have those moments where ya hit the bump just right and you're like

"WOAH, HELLO!- mister bump, you better watch yourself, you saucy boy~ You can't be doin' that. You better take me to dinner first." Lmao. Okay, on a more serious note, we just gotta buckle down together and get through this bumpy ass dirt road because after awhile you make it through that rocky dirt road in the woods and come out to feel smooth pavement again. It'll be alright. We just need to band together and make it through. We all are always stronger together. You're not alone, my friends.

You're talkin' to a guy who has the personality of a gay muppet with a big mouth. I'm shocked nothin’ has happened to me yet with my yappy ass screeching and getting over 80+ gay people to start baa-ing like sheep at a bigot at last year's pride event, but that's a wholeeeee different situation.

My point is, we'll be okay. We'll make it through.

You'll survive. You have me. You have everyoneeeee here and on other social forums. Sure, it's not the same as in-person interactions but it's somethin'. It’s better than nothing I guess. If we’ve gotta go stealth mode eventually and make secret groups for us trans and queer folk, then so be it.

Just do whatever you feel you need to do to keep yourselves safe.

We'll have a better tomorrow. We just need to keep pushing through this rough shit. We'll get out of the woods and onto smooth pavement with open skies eventually.

Continue to exist. Fight. Be safe, but live. Live for yourself, fellow trans people, and simply for spite.

Fuck bigots. Not actually though. Like DON'T fuck them. Who knows where they've been. But fuck them. They're not worth your life. Their bigotry is not worth your life. Live because it's your right.

Those guys are all so far up Donald Trump’s ass he fired his doctor and hired his supporters to give him a colonoscopy.

So, live long. Live for love and live for spite, my friends. We'll get through this.

It’s Trump 2: Electric Boogaloo. SPOILER: The first movie sucked too. They even tried to make a third one — Mango Menace Strikes Back! We didn’t want to come to the theatre to see the second one but it was a class field trip that most of America signed for us. So, we’ve allll got no choice but to go on the trip to the cinema.

Anyways, things will be okay. We’ll make it through. We’ll out get it figured out. We always do. We’ll take care of each other. Everything will be alright. 🤙🏼💛⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

(Sorry for typos and repetitive speech- it’s 4:14 a.m. EST. 😭😭)

V is for Vance: vacuous, vain, valueless, verbally abusive, vicious, vitriolic

W is for Walz: warmhearted, welcoming, wholesome, winning, wise, wonderful

...

Next to one another in the alphabet, and there ends any similarity.

About the VP nominee

Whoever the VP nominee is, I will still vote for Harris no matter what. I definitely have my preference (I’m so Walzpilled), but there are multiple factors to consider when choosing a VP nominee I think people should remember:

•Do they have the experience?

•Will they work well with Harris?

•Will they help expand and appeal to voters from outside of the base?

•Do they come from a state with a lot of electoral votes, esp if from a swing state? because that will help us increase our chances of locking down that particular state.

•Can they be trusted to take over smoothly should Harris be unable to carry out her duty as president at some point?

•Can they take on JD Vance and provide a good contrast?

Remember what the alternative is if we lose. I will hold my nose and remind myself I am voting for the top of the ticket if it’s someone I personally dislike. I will not lose my rights and democracy over something like this. We have amazing momentum and unity right now, let’s keep it like that all the way to November!

[stupidcowboykid]

that debate was soul-crushing as per usual but i do admire the ability of walz's face to immediately crumple into itself like a muppet as soon as vance opens his mouth.

[deadpresidents]

Thoughts on Marco Rubio as secretary of state?

I can at least say that, of all the people who Donald Trump could pick to be Secretary of State, Marco Rubio isn't the worst.

I'm more surprised that JD Vance wouldn't use his influence in the transition to work to sideline Rubio because, in my opinion, Rubio seems like the biggest threat to Vance as a potential successor to Trump in 2028.

[alastorssimpforever]

Watching the Veep debate is so fascinating. They both seem to be debating the actual opposing president not each other. And they seem more civil than the president debate.

I do love Kamala Harris but wtf was that bullshit answer from Waltz about being at Tiananmen Square Massacre. I can't with them beating around the bush when they're given a straight question. You weren't at the Massacre, admit it.

And for Vance, the fuck does "earning back the trust of the American people" mean???

They do seem to be more agreeable than their president counterparts. But they do just love to beat around the bush, don't they? Politicians...ugh.

I kind of like hearing about something that isn't just a bloodbath where I'm shaking my head and screaming at the screen when Trump is talking. Yes, is Vance still radical. Yes, he doesn't seem to be as terrible as Trump.

[themuskrater]

I don't usually get political on this page...but,

Did you notice during the VP debate when Vance said he was endorsed by Democrats, he specifically said "Bobby Kennedy Jr" so the audience wouldn't realize he's talking about this guy?

Like there is a REASON Kamala refused to take his calls, this dude is fucking insane

[gamer2002]

You can tell how the debate went

[tmcphotoblog]

Polled less than 1% among democrat voters in the 2019 primary, has accomplished absolutely nothing since. Never won the nomination for this office. Was selected to be VP choice. And now she's running for president! Wild ride.

[tanker-yanker-123]

Hillarious!
