While speaking on the final night of the GOP midterm convention, Vice President JD Vance said the country was “poorer” and “dirtier” before President Donald Trump was reelected for a second term.

“We were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer, and less safe and less prosperous,” Vance said on the final day of the two-day convention in Dallas, Texas.

His sentiment appeared to reflect the administration’s efforts to combat rising immigration rates in the U.S., a key campaign point during the 2024 election. Vance himself promoted unsubstantiated claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, in September 2024, spreading misinformation about the community abducting and eating pets.

      He’s repeating the same shit that Tucker was saying - Tucker was saying if he or other dumbasses turned fascist, it’s because the liberals made them do it.

      It’s just more DARVO and Murc’s Law bullshit.

      When Republicans behave badly, it’s someone else’s fault. If they get even worse, it’s because some liberal told them they were behaving badly or called them an appropriate name (racist, fascist, etc.).

      They remind me of dogs after you give them a bath when they have gotten really stinky (rolled in something dead, for instance) - right after their bath, they’ll run all around, desperate in an attempt to get all dirty again. Republicans are the same way after someone has reprimanded them - they run all around and try to find some shit to roll in.
