Hey @ HillaryClinton? Do you have an opinion about how well this guy would deal with that 3AM phone call you once warned us about?
Business Insider's Bryan metzger:
#JDVance says on Rogan he thought #Trump was killed when he saw the vid of him being shot in Butler, PA.
Says he went into "fight or flight mode," left the mini-golf place where he was with his kids, went home, loaded all his guns, and stood "like a sentry" at his front door.
Via #Maddow:
“One of the things worth knowing about #JDVance's rise in politics is that in his only electoral race before this one, a PAC almost entirely funded by Peter Thiel ran his whole campaign.
Vance's PAC didn't have many staff, but it did hire a guy from Richard Spencer's white supremacist journal "Alternative Right".
And, yes, that's the guy who talked about murdering Mehdi Hasan on CNN last night”:
Via Kyle Griffin:
#Trump and #JDVance "know how to manufacture bullshit, and they prove it every single day."
"There's a reason unions across this country have endorsed Kamala #Harris … Donald Trump's a scab."
Elon #Musk "thinks your jobs are a joke. That's why I called him a dipshit and I stand by it."

"It is 'vitally important' to learn to spot native fascists, the government said, 'even though they adopt names and slogans with popular appeal, drape themselves with the American flag, and attempt to carry out their program in the name of the democracy they are trying to destroy.'”
To repeat: this warning was issued in 1943. After what happened in Europe in the 1930s. It was issued by the US War Department.

"'In place of international cooperation, the fascists seek to substitute a perverted sort of ultra-nationalism which tells their people that they are the only people in the world who count. With this goes hatred and suspicion toward the people of all other nations.'
Third, fascists would insist that 'the world has but two choices—either fascism or communism, and they label as ‘communists’ everyone who refuses to support them.'”

"First, they would pit religious, racial, and economic groups against one another to break down national unity. Part of that effort to divide and conquer would be a 'well-planned "hate campaign" against minority races, religions, and other groups.'
Second, they would deny any need for international cooperation, because that would fly in the face of their insistence that their supporters were better than everyone else."

"“The basic principles of democracy stand in the way of their desires; hence—democracy must go! Anyone who is not a member of their inner gang has to do what he’s told. They permit no civil liberties, no equality before the law.' 'Fascism treats women as mere breeders. "Children, kitchen, and the church," was the Nazi slogan for women,' the pamphlet said."
Heather Cox Richardson offers a valuable précis of a series of pamphlets the US War Deprtment published in 1943 for for US Army personnel in the European theater of World War II. The series was entitled "Army Talks."
The pamphlets define fascism as “government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social, and cultural life of the state.”

nothing to see here, just #JDVance actively encouraging the breaking of laws and the harassment of poll workers in a swing state.

"To sum up, over four decades, twenty-six women have told strikingly similar stories of being assaulted by Donald. …
His rallies are descending into disturbing displays of a patriarchal fantasy of the subjugation, infantilization, and sexualized punishment of women."

Stanley also notes that the obsession with declining birthrates — especially among white women — within fascist movements, an obsession Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and JD Vance want to put front and center now, is linked to fascist aspirations. Women need to be put back into "their place" as mothers, and spanked back into place if they refuse.

Jason Stanley (ibid.) sees a direct line between the exploitation of male anxiety about perceived loss of status by aspiring fascist leaders, and their attacks on LGBTQ and especially trans individuals.

“The leader’s displays of machismo and his kinship with other male leaders are not just bluster, but a way of exercising power at home and conducting foreign policy. Virility enables his corruption, projecting the idea that he is above laws that weaker individuals must follow."

"Thirty to 40 percent of infertility cases involve male factor infertility, so let us not pretend that IVF is some great gift just for women. And it’s, of course, not only straight, cisgender couples that use fertility treatments: I know gay couples, for example, who used IVF to expand their families."

Emily Tamkin responds to Politico's claim that men are supporting Trump because their "issues" are ignored by Harris and the Democrats:

US presidential election updates: Polls show historic gender split between Trump and Harris voters
Kamala Harris has brushed aside suggestions her campaign is falling behind with male voters as Donald Trump appears in Nevada and ArizonaLuca Ittimani (The Guardian)
"But invoking the image of Trump as 'daddy' or as a punishing God and having that message embraced by the frenetic crowd, who also cheered that 'Christ is King,' is enough to make any normal person squirm."

"This also isn’t the first time that the right has talked about spanking on the main stage. In 2016, Chris Christie threatened Hillary Clinton, promising to 'beat her rear end,' and Senator Ted Cruz asked voters to give Clinton 'a spanking.'"

Tucker Carlson Gives Truly Disturbing Speech About “Daddy” Trump
These are real quotes from a real speech Tucker Carlson gave at a Trump rally.The New Republic
"It also translates into state policies that target women and LGBTQ+ populations, who are as much the strongman’s enemies as prosecutors and the press. ….
Virility, in the form of the leader’s dominance over women and other men, has pride of place in his [i.e., the strongman’s] plans for national transformation

Trump has been accused of sexual assault again. It matters.
The media and the public should treat the issue seriously.Noah Berlatsky (Public Notice)
""The fact that the disobedient child in this fantasy is a girl is not an accident either. The MAGA right sees Blue America as essentially female, or female-dominated—and, of course, currently led by a woman."

"The authoritarianism has a distinctly misogynist flavor, of a piece with all the other misogynist rhetoric we’ve seen from the right in this campaign: Real men are coming back to put all those misbehaving women in their place."

Tucker Carlson's Perv Daddy Spank Fantasies Are Great Closing Argument, For Kamala Harris
Maybe she can play this at one of her final rallies.Evan Hurst (The Moral High Ground)
"Harris’s spokespeople may dismiss Carlson’s disgusting speech as 'weird' but it is less weird than it is terrifying. The idea of Trump as a father figure spanking a woman into submission seems to resonate with a disturbing number of Americans."

"For Trump’s cult-like supporters, Carlson’s spanking fantasy encapsulates everything they love about the presidential candidate: the paternalism, the toxic masculinity, the lust for violence and thirst for revenge."

"Jeez. 'Daddy’s coming home'. How can we not say this election is also about toxic masculinity and the latent violence of threatened patriarchy?"

"I'm Bruce #Springsteen and I'm here today to support Kamala #Harris and Tim #Walz for president and vice president. And to oppose Donald #Trump and #JDVance. Here's why -- I want a president who reveres the constitution ... Trump is running to be an American tyrant ... "
Via HuffPo’s Dave Jamieson:
NewsGuild prez confirms for me that #JDVance crossed a picket line by publishing an op-ed today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where workers are on strike. No excuse for it, he says.
"JD Vance is a scab just like anybody else who crosses a picket line."
As Moira Donegal reminds us, Trump's plan to round up immigrants, put them into camps, and deport them is a "moral abomination," no matter how many white Christians lust for it and how the corporate media whitewash it.
"What is being proposed is a vast cruelty, a human tragedy, and a costly national investment in racism."

Trump’s proposal for mass deportation of immigrants is a moral abomination
This would be a horrific program of ethnic cleansing – yet most of the media reaction has focused on the economic costsMoira Donegan (The Guardian)
Russell Contreras zeroes in on findings of the PRRI "Challenges to Democracy" study. Who, precisely wants to round up immigrants and put them into camps?
79% of Republicans vs. 22% of Democrats
75% of white evangelicals
61% of white Catholics
58% of white mainline Protestants
