I know several brick walls that would love to fuck his face.

What a pos. nobody is "pushing" these medicines on kids. it's ultimately the kid's decision about whether they want these medications or not and I'm not aware of any cases to the contrary. also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental? how do you expect people to trust you when you lie so blatantly? glad he got banned.

Happy Pride Month ❤️

also these medications have been used for literal decades so how can they be experimental?

Honest answer: the drugs are being used off-label. It's not even experimental, it's basically a wildcat way of using them. An experiment would involve control groups and a double-blind trial, among other things.

I'm saying this because this is what rightoids are saying as criticism and you need to be able to counter that with facts. Right now, there just isn't enough information and that's what they're capitalizing on.

The thing with his argument is that I just struggle to imagine a scenario in which the experts and affected agree and we're better off listening to judges, lawyers, and politicians instead.

There's no reasonable argument from the avenues I'd listen to those groups (such as appeal to fundamental freedoms, rights of the individual, etc) where the position should be to bar these people from receiving treatment they want against expert recommendations.

In short, Mr Vance demonstrates the intellectual rigor I've come to associate with the denizens of Middletown Ohio, and the firm belief in one's own right to be the arbiter of everyone else's life I've come to associate with his ivy league education and tech background.

This is a man who argued with the pope about catholic doctrine a few years after converting and I honestly can't make up something more exaggerated than that

And this is the point where he playbooks "i was just asking questions i was just being reasonable why are you so mean unreasonable leftist echo chamber etcetc"

Which only works when people let it. A swift "you started ranting crazy bullshit" is what is needed here.

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is "the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis".

I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the "public square". It's a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.

Stupid shit has no rightful place in normal society

That is one stupid sonofabitch.

Imagine thinking that one Clarence Thomas is less corrupt than thousands of doctors.

[–] evilcultist@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Coming from Vance, I like how the logic underlying the statements presumes a profit motive undermines the result.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He’s not wrong about medical companies influencing patient care. He’s just wrong about who and why.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

"Anyway, want a 6 months supply of Vicodin?" -The doctors he should actually be worried about.

Sorry, I meant should as in if he actually gave a shit about what he pretends to give a shit about as a preface to target trans people.

be me

young

want to have long hair

such a thing is not allowed because i cannot consent to it

also my opinion is probably bought by big shampoo

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 24 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Apparently, they reinstated it saying they just wanted to confirm it was really him before fully activating it.

[–] StereoCode@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I was generally curious why posting that would get him banned. It's def contrary to popular opinions on the platform but doesn't violate any rules.

Corpos will never let you down. Only throw you there.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 hours ago

I hope his dick rots off, just so he can get to experience gender-affirming care firsthand.

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 22 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't he happy with his Truth Social account?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago

You can't Own The Libs from over there

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The account was banned, and then reinstated after being verified.

His first posts didn't get him banned.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

It probably didn't do any favours opening up immediately with obvious troll bait.

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Those posts read like chatgpt.

Simple hack for a turing test:

Cut all the humanity out of a person.

If I had to be my-name-1 I'd probably just quit out of embarrassment

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He isn't banned, takes just a second to check.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

It was banned, but reinstated after they verified it wasn't a random troll and was indeed the actual troll, JD Vance himself.

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 24 points 14 hours ago

his account is still active. just checked. this post is also still up.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 70 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

"a screenshot from clearsky showing jd vance's account as the most blocked in 24 hours on bluesky"

it's going well.

also lol'ing at the fact that he's jd-vance-1 because jd-vance was taken by a parody account which has a big banner reading "I did not fuck a couch".

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

As he said, it is a place for common sense discussion. Which just happens to be no place for him and his ilk.
