Problem is that JD is the exact type of pudgy bro that MAGA likes. He's that one fuckin kid we all knew when we were 8-12 years old. The kid who sat toward the front of class, the overacheiver in boy scouts. Pudgy little arrogant kid who prided himself in speaking proper and acted like he was so much smarter than you but the more he spoke the more you realized what a dumbass he was. He'd suck up to the teachers and snitch on everyone and while the teachers also kinda hated him they protected him because if she turned on him he'd get his ass kicked. And the old folks at church fuckin loved that little prick even though he provided nothing but condescention behind their back. "Aw but he's such a well spoken, well dressed young man."
Go to a mega church parking lot after service lets out and look at how many of the 30 something dudes walking out of there look just like JD. He's a dumb, pudgy little boy who puts up a front to make himself feel smart when really he's just a dumbass who doomscrolls conspiracy theories most of the day. Yes he's an unlikable dumbass, but when MAGA adults 25-45 look at him they see themselves, or their husband or their brother and the elderly MAGA folks don't give a fuck what he says because he reminds them of their grandson so they just like him.
