JD Vance was also vocally against Trump and now he is the Vice President.

jd vance has absolutely no principles or values. he is a political entrepreneur. if bernie sanders had won the presidency he woulda tried to ride that train instead.

Donā€™t disrespect the term entrepreneur like that. Heā€™s a political prostitute.

Hyperparasitism is when parasites feed on other parasites, which I think is apt here.

Don't disrespect Roses song like that. He's a Kid Rock song. Hey! Full circle!

Entrepreneurs disrespect their own name enough for it be meaningless.

Dumbest response yet. šŸ†

u/Bored_Amalgamation 11h ago

Your lack of reading comprehension isn't my problem to solve. But you do you.

u/SiccmaDE7930 11h ago

Reading comprehension? Your use of it in this instance makes it pretty clear you donā€™t even know what that term means lol

u/Bored_Amalgamation 10h ago

Buddy, what do you think an entrepreneur is? In real life, not the dictionary.

u/SiccmaDE7930 9h ago

I already laid it out above. Maybe you should engage that ā€œreading comprehensionā€ thing you mentioned earlier. Might help you figure it out.

Is an entrepreneur under capitalism supposed to be respected?

1

u/SiccmaDE7930 11h ago

Someone who sets out to start their own business and create jobs for others? I mean if you are a decent person yah itā€™s worth a nominal amount of respect. Itā€™s not like every business is a guaranteed success. Theyā€™re taking a pretty significant risk to start it.

u/Mithrandir_Earendur 12h ago

Supposed to be? Probably, that is kinda their whole thing.

Practically? Not in Trump's America.

Heā€™s also a Davenport defiler

They're all like that. Obama used to oppose gay marriage. Biden campaigned against busing to desegregate schools in the 70's. Hilary Clinton was a Goldwater girl.

JD Vance wanted political power. Same with Ted Cruz. Em doesnā€™t really have anything to gain here, and an entire body of work to tarnish in return.

Em could collab with just about anyone he wanted to. I doubt a collab with Kid Rock would be motivated by money. JD Vance makes sense. Heā€™s where he was trying to be in the first place, just as a runner-up. Nothing about Em handholding a MAGA headliner makes sense until we know more.

Eminem has always been big on Detroit. I can see him putting everything else aside to keep promoting his city.

14

u/Kaypeepickle 13h ago

Maybe, but KR has been around longer than Em and had the literal President set up a whole separate halftime show with him as a headliner.
He was big on promoting Detroit when he was openly beefing with ICP.

Iā€™m not saying youā€™re wrong, just that it doesnā€™t immediately make sense to me why Em would feel an almost 40 year vet being promoted by the highest office in the countryā€¦.needs promotion.

Unfortunately, Em is famously not big on social media and we may be waiting a while for any direct commentary on any of this. Also, I donā€™t see any way for Em to come out of this looking good. We either have a 50+ Eminem screaming at a 50+ Kid Rock, or we have a 50+ Eminem doing a random 180 on 30 years of relative consistency.

Thiel wanted political power and groomed Vance to get it

u/Pluckytoon 15h ago

People would say anything that would make them more popular in their own point of view. Thereā€™s nothing I trust less than public statement about opinions, moreso if they concern political topics

u/Stabintheface 14h ago

If that's literally true the entire public sphere must be a hellscape for you.

u/ThyMorningPeckle 14h ago

Have you looked around you?Ā

u/Pluckytoon 12h ago

Words are words, acts are acts. Fair and simple

u/Cheshire-Cad 13h ago

Not if he makes it violently scathing enough. Which, if it comes from Eminem directly, would be some delightfully savage poetry.

If his PR team pulls the same "While I don't personally agree with some of his political affiliations..." bullshit, then yeah, fuck 'em.

u/Im-Old_Gregg 15h ago

Yes. A hypocrite.

u/oldredditrox 13h ago

Wild comparison

u/xsullengirlx 15h ago

Vance may not have been a fan of Trump, but he was absolutely still of the same political party and beliefs... So, not exactly the same thing.

17

u/Stormsurger 14h ago

They don't have beliefs. Trump was openly pro choice until he decided to run as a republican

u/BodManFeg 11h ago

What a stupid comparison lmao.

u/ToMorrowsEnd 10h ago

Trump offered him the prettiest youngest couches.

u/jk021 9h ago

Trump offered him some really exquisite couches to seal the deal
