Vance tells Sean Hannity that Democratic ‘arsonists’ will reverse Trump’s successes even as he admits his own administration needs more time

JD Vance laid out the Trump administration’s best case for a Republican victory in the midterm elections on Thursday, returning to his role as the White House’s great communicator. But instead of empathizing with Americans’ economic pains and fears about the future, the vice president leaned into fear-mongering about Democrats.

Vance spoke with Fox’s Sean Hannity in an interview that aired Thursday, and leaned into the administration’s successes at driving illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border to 50-year lows as he made the case for the GOP.

As he spoke about the supposed priorities of hypothetical Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, however, Vance claimed that his opponents wanted to block Republicans from ever winning elections again and “transform” America, citing such issues as acceptance of transgender Americans.

    Yeah, you shouldn’t worry about the little things like food, shelter, transportation, and healthcare. We have bigger issues to tackle as a nation, like one trans kid being on a highschool sports team; you know, the big “purpose of government” stuff.

      Their white Christian nationalist “utopia” is more important to them than pesky things like people eating, the Bill of Rights, the rule of law, etc.

        He’s Thiel’s boy, after all.

        Gotta work on that Network State or whatever the fuck dipshits like Curtis Yarvin and The Sovereign Individual kooks say…hey, there is nothing elitist about any of this stuff, though!

      We’ve got arches to build, and wars to lose, and that shit’s expensive. Americans should just be less selfish.
