JD Vance's approval rating is worst among Boomers

Unelectable

And I thought him masturbating dolphins after dosing both the dolphin and himself with LSD was weird enough.

I've seen him wrapping presents when it's nobody's birthday.

So many modern Boomer conservatives still cling to the mythology of the JFK era and the national labor movements that made America great in the wake of WW2. Reagan and Bush and Trump knew how to pander to these folks and to scapegoat minorities and immigrants as the cause of the country's decline.

Vance doesn't have any of that. He's entirely a product of the 21st century without any roots to speak of. He hates his mom for needing oxy to get through the day. He hates his home town for failing to pull itself up by its own bootstraps, like the armies of government contractors at Yale and Langley and Silicon Valley. And he hates poor white people for not embodying the mystical traits of superhuman races in his favorite pulp fantasy novels. All of that is naked on his face when he tries to talk to anyone over 30.

He's not like us. He spends too much time on the computer and now he's a fucking weirdo.

They all do. I don’t see any different outcome if it was DeathSantis or Vivek or Token Tim Scott instead of JD.

These all people have one thing common among them - they all lack backbones and have absolutely no convictions beyond enriching themselves. Not one of them have even an appearance of a coherent policy that works for / is in best interest of anyone but themselves

Republicans are synonymous with hypocrisy.

Even putting that aside, rather than defending his pick he just says sure he sucks, but it doesn't matter... Way to go?

He’s not an incel. He “loves” his wife despite her race!

Can you be an incel if you have children...?

certainly no more reaching between the cushions for change.

Won't somebody think of the couches?

We must stop the right’s radical couchist agenda.

It’s a little known fact, but Vance is actually heterosectional.

Too much drankin’

Those Silicon Valley Michelin Star restaurants aren’t going to visit themselves. Someone’s got to keep those sommeliers employed.

I think when JD uses one, it's called a sophylactic.

That was more a thing of the Boomers parent's, the Greatest Generation. At least in the PNW of the US. Fads happened in waves before the internet, so YMMV.

I never quite understood what those were for...I remember people mocking boomers that still did that (because it was something the generation before mostly did?) but was it to preserve the couches?

Just a point of context that my fellow gen-xers still really do still suck and there more than likely isn't that much hated for this couch lover.

The survey comprised 1,001 adults, out of a total population of about 330 million in the US. I’d think it very likely that many demographic groups weren’t accurately represented in that 1,001.

My guess is that it is ignorance and some of the same ignorant people look at the age of someone and think a younger person will somehow represent younger people better in some undefined way.

I've heard the low-wattage types (we probably all have) that looked at Biden and donnie and wrote them off as more or less the same because they are both "old white guys". So they either didn't vote, or voted third party....I bet these same types see Vance and think he is somehow a good choice for younger voters...

Yeah, but he's a millennial, and there's nobody Boomers hate worse than their own children.
