That word was not an accident. Because he used it more than once to hammer it in:

“I frankly just think it’s hysterical how much the media is overreacting to it,” Vance said while traveling to a campaign rally in Arizona.

...

“So what he said, I thought it was hysterical. I think he pointed out the fundamental chameleon-like nature of Kamala Harris,” Vance said. “She’s flip flopped on every issue. She’s fake. She’s phony. And I think our whole campaign is going to have a very fun time pointing that out. And it sounds like the president kicked us off in stride.”

For those unaware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteria

The Appalachian hillbilly from suburban Ohio knows what that word means. He went to Yale.

I don’t have to pretend he’s an idiot, he is. He’s just an idiot that can pass tests.

Underestimate your opponents at your own peril.

He's not my enemy, he's a pundit and a real fuckin goofy one at that. Similarly being an idiot doesn't mean I'm not taking them seriously, many many idiots have effected history in negative ways they are and were still in fact idiots though.

He’s not my enemy

Someone trying to bring a genocidal fascist dictator into power should be your enemy. I'm not sure why he isn't.

The movement sure, this weird couch fucker is an issue that needs to be stopped, he's not my enemy. He's an opponent, fascists phase shit as their opponent being an enemy of the state.

Couching things as enemy v friend isn't really helpful and only serves to push away the middle. He's a shit heel for sure, he's not someone I think needs to be drug out and hung as an enemy of the state as you imply.

Again, a genocide fascist enabler should be your enemy. Because they want a fascist genocidal government.

And again, I have no idea why you wouldn't consider an enabler of genocide to be an enemy.

Also, no one needs to be hanged as an enemy of the state because capital punishment is barbaric.

He's not my enemy

Well, he's a fascist, so he fucking should be. Says a lot about you that you don't see him as a threat.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Sure he's a fascist, he needs to be stopped so he's my opponent. He isn't my enemy, enemies are moved against in certain ways, opponents entirely separate ways.
