Fresh on the heels of Politico’s fear-mongering article warning about the ominous Christian influence of Lord of the Rings genius JRR Tolkien on Trump VP pick JD Vance, the outlet now devotes space to a profile of Vance’s “weird views on gender.” And by “weird,” Politico means “normal” – the traditional, biologically based understanding of sex and family that has held for all but the last ten minutes or so of human history.
In an opinion piece titled, “JD Vance Has a Bunch of Weird Views on Gender,” Politico’s Laura K. Field begins by calling Vance “a rabid participant in the culture wars” – that’s a dog whistle to leftists that Vance threatens the cultural hegemony the Left spent over half a century establishing precisely because the culture is where the real ideological war is waged and won. Conservative politicians like Vance and, say, Ron DeSantis, who understand this and are willing to get in the trenches of that fight, terrify the Left.
Politico’s Field then takes exception to a comment Vance once made to then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson that “We are effectively run in the country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” Vance named Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as examples.
Is he wrong about that characterization? No. Leftists are anti-family Karens driven by a deep hatred of the bourgeois values of their political opponents: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing brings them greater satisfaction than to impose their own miserable worldview on others by curtailing those values.
Field goes on to describe Vance “and the rest of the New Right” as sharing “a deep skepticism about modern feminism and gender equality” and an “[o]vert chauvinism that seeks to roll back much of feminism’s gains.” Well, bravo for him then, because modern feminism and gender ideology are the tip of the spear of the cultural Marxist subversion of Western civilization (change my mind). What Field and Politico laughably call “feminism’s gains” have been disastrous for America (more on that below); we can’t roll them back fast enough.
The article does concede that Vance, a father of three whose wife is an Indian legal immigrant, “appears to be a decent family man — someone who supports traditional conservative values.” But it claims “his thoughts on women and gender reveal some unusual opinions that lie outside the American mainstream,” including opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage. Those may be minority positions now, thanks to the degrading influence of the Left and the moral weakness of the Republican Party, but they were not “unusual” until very recently. Remember how Barack Obama only came around to embracing same-sex marriage in time for his re-election campaign?
Field goes on to try in vain to damn Vance by association with “postliberal,” “New Right” figures and institutions she finds very ominous, like Regime Change author Patrick Deneen or the Claremont Institute. She cites a 2021 speech of his for Claremont’s Center for the American Way of Life in which Vance stated, “I think that we should fight for the right of every American to live a good life in the country they call their own, to raise a family and dignity on a single middle-class job.” Every single word of that normal goal is like a stake through radical leftist hearts.
Then Field tries to connect Vance to the “musings of far-right extremists” like former American Enterprise Institute president Chris DeMuth, who opened a National Conservatism conference earlier this month by declaring, “A revival of faith, family, and fertility are not far right; they are the new mainstream!” The fact that Politico finds faith, family, and fertility to be threatening, “far-right” values speaks volumes about the Left, none of it good.
Field also cites a 2022 Vanity Fair interview in which Vance said his vision for the country “will mean that my son grows up in a world where his masculinity — his support of his family and his community, his love of his community — is more important than whether it works for fucking McKinsey.” The Left bears a visceral hatred of traditional masculinity, so of course Field finds the thought of an America in which masculinity is valued repugnant.
In all fairness, Politico isn’t the only left-wing outlet to demonize Vance’s normal views on sex and family. MSNBC, to name just one more, predictably smeared him (and by extension, all normals) as holding “a host of bizarre, ultraconservative views on gender.” Of course, they’re not bizarre or ultraconservative at all; they’re normal.
Politico concludes by warning Trump supporters that his VP choice is going to be a barrier to picking up more women voters: “While Trump’s sexism has manifested as a crude machismo, Vance, along with his New Right fellow-travelers, is about to introduce voters to a more conceptual take on sexism — one which many women, and indeed many men, might find even more alarming.”
Politico believes Vance’s brand of “sexism” is alarming not because it is sexist but because it is normal. Nowhere in the article does Politico acknowledge that calls for faith, family and fertility resonate with greater numbers of Americans now because since the Sexual Revolution, which launched a nuclear attack on faith, family and fertility, our culture has degenerated into one in which: our elites are now unwilling to define the word “woman”; the sexual grooming of children in classrooms by non-binary identifying gender activists posing as educators, and in public libraries by demonically-costumed drag queens, is normalized; men claiming to be women are destroying women’s sports and eradicating women’s private spaces; marriage and fertility rates are collapsing; young women, indoctrinated by feminism to embrace promiscuity, now view degrading themselves on OnlyFans as a legitimate path to financial security; and young men are “going their own way,” rejecting marriage and children as a bankrupting trap.
These are the feminist “gains” that Politico calls Vance “sexist” and “weird” for rejecting. They are not gains but markers of civilizational collapse, and growing numbers of Americans have had enough. They want a return to sexual morality, not cultural deviancy; social stability, not disorder and fragmentation; and gender sanity, not the eradication of masculine and feminine. You know – normalcy.

Even if he’s right he has to watch himself and find a filter what he said was catnip to the Dems and really really stupid.
Don’t allow the leftists to rewrite the language and set the parameters of speech.
Catnip — well done play on Vance’s inept cat lady comment. Nothing like alienating hundreds of thousands of men and women who might be physically disabled from procreation and gaining no votes in return.
I disagree. The left has been allowed to infiltrate all facets of our society, destroying morality and the safety of our children. We should have been standing up to them from the beginning. Most of the so called “Republicans” are RINOS, or moles to do the left’s bidding. We need to stand up, take back, clean house and put God back into our great country!
I agree, it was really stupid of him to say what he did. I think Trump should have made a better pick.
If this be culture war, let’s make the most of it. Supposedly weird views of gender are attacked by the left because they represent resistance. The left’s views support the great non-replacement trend which plagues the West with low birth rates and is accompanied by the great sucking sound of open borders. It takes two biological sexes to make a new revolution. Enjoy!
I like being normal. It’s nice.
Flaccid is the new erect.
By the way, look closely at an “Amazon Smile” logo and you will see a graphic representation of Peyronie’s Disease.
OK, I had to look Peyronie’s Disease up. Boy, am I glad my dick works and looks perfect. I used it last night with no problems. She wanted it doggy style the whole time but oh, well.
Uh, with all due respect to an old internet friend, that’s way more information than most people need.
Yes, thanks. Sorry about that. That’s a bad habit of mine. I can’t really talk about intimate things with my family and friends so I unburden it on web friends. I’m working on stopping that. And stopping picking up random chicks at Saint James Park down the street. I have a good friend who keeps admonishing me against both habits and I need to heed his advice.
How about J.D. Vance, though? I really like that guy. A smart family man who made a really good movie. I didn’t read the book but I sure liked the movie. Somebody here at FPM recommended it to me. It could’ve been you!
Men with Peyronie’s Disease MUST do the deed doggy style in most cases…..except for those with the unusual reverse curvature, who can’t go doggy style but DO have a choice between classic missionary and lady on top.
Or they could do it upside down I guess, LOL.
We should count our blessings, brother. 😛 Those photos I saw online were quite scary.
The problem that is never addressed is the female reliance on prescription drugs. It has followed us since the 1950’s experiment with thalidomide. The women were whining about normal hormone surges and the drug companies saw a new source of income and off we go. Then came the “pill”. Huge amounts of drugs were now in women’s systems with no idea how it would affect them. Worse drugs became the norm. How does this effect the bodily system in the women and the babies? Try to look it up.
Profits needed a boost so here comes valium for stressed out women at work or home. How does this effect the children at the breast? The children today seem rather neurotic as a result. Mommy would certainly recommend jr. gets a daily dose because she does. What is mommy to do? Adderall of course. If these women worked in the fields and in the home instead of stacking paper in the office I imagine that the perceived emotional instability would disappear. So would the sex issues.
You sound much like the doctors of the earliest 20th century in their successful campaign against overuse of opium-containing medications for mother and baby. Baby and child “soothers” resulted in rather stoned little ones who did not trouble their overworked mothers, and the mothers themselves did not neglect their own need for adult-strength doses. It was only after legislation was passed in England that this practice ended there; I believe it continued for a while longer in most of the U.S.
In any case, mothers today are fanatically careful about use of ANY medication during pregnancy and lactation; many years ago when I was at that stage of life the only things I would take were acetaminophen for pain and prescribed vitamins and iron for anemia. And my children range in age from 33 to 40 years old, so this is nothing new.
As to Adderall, ADHD and ADD are real, not imaginary. My elder brother and I both have it and each of us has a son with it. I have a grandson with it and possibly a granddaughter, who is currently too young to diagnose properly. (I call her the Viking; like many of the women in my family, she is big, blonde, and ferocious.) It is important to seek the advice and a good diagnosis from a reputable psychiatrist, not a teacher or school counsellor or family doctor before treating this condition.
Please don’t slander the young mothers of today or yesterday.
I remember going to school with kids and teens who had ADHD or ADD or whatever. It’s definitely real. I felt bad for them and you. I used to ignore my teachers but not because I had ADHD or ADD but just because I hated school because I was an autodidact and I didn’t learn anything in the majority of my classes.
The progressive view of gender creates atrocities like Jazz Jennings, a permanently anorgasmic eunuch who has no libido, who has never even masturbated. The closest the now adult Jazz has come to a sex life is when his monstrous Munchhausen by Proxy mother awakes him from a dead sleep with a prepped dilator he must use to keep his artificial vagina from closing.up.
Conservatives make the mistake of saying transgender ideology “sexualizes” children. On the contrary , it desexes them- it is pure castration.
“Jazz Jennings.” I recognized the name but had to look it up to remember what it was. Definitely an it..
I’m embarrassed to say he has a nice pair of tits. I’d hate to see what’s down below, though.
Going Biblical! According to St. Paul’s warning to the New Testament church at Rome, the left is now subject to the “reprobate mind” (see Romans 1 18-32, esp. verse 28). The leftist ethic is now a blasphemy against the Spirit of God. It puts dark for light, and evil for good. That means there is no debate or argument to reach such moral perversion.
Fortunately for us all, I have been wrong about too many things to lose the hope that America can be saved from her current condition. Going Biblical is scary.
There are good ways of going Biblical, too, by obeying the Bible’s laws. After all, the Bible is primarily a book of laws. Many of them apply only to the Jewish people and of those, many cannot currently be followed because there is no Temple, but the core ethical laws apply to everyone. In fact when the Torah was given to the Jews, the rest of the world received the gift of the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah (the whole human race, as they are incumbent upon Jews too). If more people followed these seven very logical laws, the world would be a much, much better place. Look up Noachide Laws or the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah if you’re curious.
That reminds me of the Ten Commandments. Except for the two about God, none of them should be offensive to lefties.
The left’s offense to God offends me, actually.
Apparently, genetics and biology soar way beyond their intellectual capabilities….and initial cellular division, once the egg is fertilized, carrying the genetic code for the sex of the new life in gestation confounds them!! That the entire endocrine system for that new life is based upon the sex of the developing child is a complete anathema to these supposedly brilliant among us.
Apparently, a multitude of drugs, mental deficiencies and mental illnesses have rendered their atrophied, frontal lobes completely dysfunctional!!
Male and female is reality–the rest just down another “useful idiots” rabbit hole.
The fetal endocrine system is one of the first systems to develop during prenatal development of a human individual.
I think it’s weird that men and women are totally the same but men oppress women even though they are equal despite the fact that a man can be a woman if he wears a wig and a dress and a shit ton of makeup, which reinforces stereotypes of women despite not knowing what women are.
The adjective, far, when used in context of right or left, does not just say something about where the target of that adjective lies politically, but where the user of that adjective lies politically.
For if a Dem who sits on the 20 yard line on the left, can describe someone sitting on the 50 yard line as far right. From the 20 yard line of the left, someone sitting on the 50 yard line is far right. But if you look at the whole field, the one on the 50 is obviously in the middle and the one on the 20 yard line on the left is obviously well to the left.
So, let’s reframe how we see these political labels when the adjective “far” is used, thinking about where both parties lie politically.
Gee it’s really good to know that Politico, (not exactly appointment reading), is right on top of all of the important stuff.
Because gender issues will save us from everything. Won’t it?
What, it won’t?
The LGBTQ*!% deviant crowd are the ones with bizarre sexual proclivities, not J.D. Vance or anyone else with the temerity to point that fact out.
