    This feels like the Leftist version of a George Soros conspiracy. Why can the answer not be that JD Vance himself thinks the election was stolen? Maybe JD Vance himself is weird?

      Because it would require the assumption that JD Vance has any original thoughts of his own.

      Well considering that George Soros conspiracy theories are usually based around using him as a boogeyman stand in for “the Jews” I think maybe your comparison is silly. Unless you really think the left needs one single Boogeyman for Christian influence on Politics. As if there wasn’t thousands.

        I’m just talking about the general concept of a wealthy benefactor being the reason X person a commenter doesn’t like does anything or has any success. It’s a mental crutch because people can’t fathom large swaths of Americans who just disagree with them, they need it to be a conspiracy for some reason.
