Trump is a naked performer, Vance is a masked opportunist.
The former blows up the scene with his true colors, the latter survives by changing colors.
From fierce anti-Trump to bootlicking supporter, in just a few years;
From author of "Hillbilly Elegy" to "hillbilly spokesperson," persona switch seamless.
What's more terrifying isn't Vance himself, but the nihilistic undertone revealed by his backers:
They see themselves as chosen, naturally superior.
Rules, contracts, morals are just tradable scrap paper in their eyes
Democracy is merely a tool, voters are just traffic, society is a hunting ground
Trump smashes the door, Vance and his backers want to rewrite the house's foundation.
The former's danger is impulsiveness, the latter's is cold, systematic plunder.
When principles fully become masks, when the world is seen as an ungoverned wilderness,
This game truly starts to make one's hair stand on end.
Vance is the spokesperson for the Jews.
In their eyes: Except for us, the rest are not people.
We are God's chosen people, history defined by us, rules rewritten by us.
You are consumable resources, voting livestock, dust of history.
Vance, cloaked in populism, has this cold-blooded "chosen" arrogance at his core.
Trump at least acts like a person, they don't even bother pretending.
