    So… there is a limit.

    Apparently, you can’t be both black and nazis and get elected by the GOP

      Oh you can definitely be both of those things, you just can’t say it out loud publicly. That’s the only thing he messed up in Republicans’ eyes

        I don’t know. IMO we’d have to re-run the experiment controlling for the type of pornography to be certain.

      I’m curious how many votes he lost for being black and how many for being a nazi. I have a guess which number is greater.

        Prolly lost more votes for getting outed as a porn addict rather than being a nazi.

          JD Vance is openly looking into zoophilic porn and republicans don’t mind it.

            he’s just trying to get called something other than couchfucker.

            unforntunately, couchfucker sticks harder than goatfucker.

              Which reminds me of that old joke: “but you fuck one coach…”

              Edit: just spotted my typo… I’ll leave it in😊

                but he hasn’t even fucked a couch!

                Or so he insists. One doth protest too much, methinks.

                  I never said anyone did, i was just reminded about a joke describing how some actions overshadows other activities when retold among peers.

                    Sorry, my joke didn’t quite land- “couchfucker” stuck and he “didn’t even fuck a coach one time.”

                    (He does protest a bit much though. Maybe he tried it after it came out, or something.)
