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.

    James Donald David Bowman, has requested that he be referred to as JD (formerly J.D.) Vance, his preferred (chosen) name.
    Yesterday, James called Kamala “phony.”

    You can’t make this stuff up. So I didn’t.

      He thought he was being clever with some misogyny that his base is never going to understand.

        He’s probably trying to create their own version of people calling them “weird” but for the democrats too.

        You’re not giving his base enough credit. They may be stupid, but they’re idiots-savant at hearing dog-whistles.

    Confusing hysteria with hysterical laughter over how weird it is to think you can tell someone else what race they are.

      No, he’s just being misogynist (look up the etymology of “hysteria” – or “hysterical,” for that matter).

        Yeah I know where hysteria comes fine. But there is also a pejorative form of hysterical (in hysterics) and’s non-pejorative (hilarious, which is what I actually meant to have typed above to avoid confusion, but my brain went in autopilot).

        Fun fact vibrators were first invented to deal with women in the 19th who were diagnosed with hysteria. This is honestly probably the least fucked up bit of 19th century medical trivia I know.

      Is this referencing the way he flips the cushions because the cool side “feels better”? Or is it his history of flip flopping on everything?

      Are you really trying to claim that Vance is a stupid rich guy?

      Whether you or I like it, he went to Yale on a full scholarship for the first year. Meaning he was neither so rich that his parents could just let him get into Yale (he was from a middle-class family) and he wasn’t stupid.

      I don’t like Vance. You don’t like Vance. That doesn’t mean we have to pretend he is an idiot.

        Did I say that? No, I said a degree didn’t imply competence or intelligence.

        Neat, totally irrelevant to my point but neat I guess.

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

            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.

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

                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.
