ā€œIn the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags,ā€ Vanceā€™s endorsement of the book, which came out in July, reads. ā€œToday, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. InĀ Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back.ā€

. . . Itā€™s not the only Vance publishing story thatā€™s raising eyebrows.

The US Senator from Ohio alsoĀ wrote the foreword and an endorsementfor a book on Project 2025, the far-right roadmap for a potential Trump administration 2.0 that the former president has denied any connection to.

ā€œNever before has a figure with Robertsā€™s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatismā€¦,ā€ Vance is quoted as saying in press for the book, by Project 2025 head Kevin Robert.

ā€œWe are now all realizing that itā€™s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lie ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.ā€

    The thing is, I donā€™t think youā€™re going to find anyone whoā€™s willing to run as Trumpā€™s VP that doesnā€™t have some sort of baggage like this. Heā€™s looking for someone whoā€™ll ignore valid election results as some sort of leftist scam.

      In the GOP I get the feeling heā€™s more likely to find someone who doesnā€™t care if itā€™s a scam and just wants power. But I donā€™t think most of them believe their own swill.

      They have to use Vance because saying his name for Trump close enough to Pence and they know Dementia Don will flub it soon or later.
