Thoughts On J. D. Vance

Trump’s selection of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate was not a total shock to the system, but the system was unhappy, nonetheless. The old neocons are howling in agony, claiming he is another Hitler. The slow-witted neocons are similarly unhappy, but they are going with the “he’s not Reagan” line. These are the people who claimed George Bush II was the heir to Reagan. The dried out husk of Buckley conservatism is going with their usual perfidy.

It is not just the yesterday men of the official right who are unhappy. The more strident of the online right are vexed that Vance is married to an Indian and was once a member in good standing of the regime. They think he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They look at this slot on the ticket as the heir to Trump and therefore the guy who will lead the cause after Trump’s term ends in 2028. They wanted someone who was more clearly on their side, even though such a person does not exist.

The problem with all of this analysis is that it operates within the conventional framework of politics. Despite his civic nationalist inclinations, Trump is the nullification of the conventional political framework. Over the last decade, there have been two main camps regarding Trump. There are those who think he will operate the levers and gears of the machine to their liking or not to their liking and those who get that he exists to destroy the machine, even as he tries to operate it.

With that in mind, the election of Vance should be seen as Trump starting to understand what is happening. People forget that he was set to announce his pick after the debate, but then put it off so the focus could be on Biden. Vance was most likely not the pick at that point. Tucker Carlson said that Trump decided on Vance around the day he announced the pick. In other words, there is a good chance that Trump’s brush with death had some impact on his thinking.

The way to view Vance ideologically is as a compromise between Trump, the civic nationalist, and his core base of support. Trump and his older voters maintain that the system of America is fine. The trouble is the people running the system. It is why they are so invested in Trump the man. Vance and the subculture in which he primarily exists understands that the system is the problem. They are not revolutionaries, but they think systemic change is necessary to avoid disaster.

Some get this to a degree. Patrick Deneen uses different language to describe Vance, but the idea is the same. This Wall Street Journal post comes at the topic from a more dissident perspective. Graedon H. Zorzi is a worth a follow if you are interested in more nuanced analysis of current events. If you look at the list of people Vance follows on social media, it is a list of people who think critically about politics. In one fashion or another, they are critics of the system.

What Vance represents, and you can put people like Christopher Rufo in the same bucket, is either a final defense of the system or a waystation on the road to what Charles Murray calls the white backlash. This subculture that produced Vance is both a compromise between white identity politics and the old civic nationalism, and a synthesis of the two. It is an identitarianism that is majority white, but tolerant of a fringe that is not white, but fully assimilated.

None of this is to say that this is deliberate. There is no evidence that any of the people in this subculture think of themselves as gatekeepers or facilitators. They are simply staking out ground that is morally tolerable yet they are realistic about what is actually happening in the flesh and blood country called America. To a great degree, they are reactionaries, responding to the fantasy world that is the conservative response to the madness falling from the clouds of the managerial elite.

This is what gets missed in the criticism of Vance from the online right. Vance was not a political guy and when he was encouraged to get into politics, he adopted the politics of the people around him. When he got a good look at what those politics meant, he reacted negatively and started down the path that led him to this point. Anyone who has been to a dissident event has heard a version of this story many times. The people Vance chooses to follow all have similar stories.

The question that remains to be answered is if this subculture that produced Vance can create a plausible political program and challenge the orthodoxy. So far, they have stalled where prior efforts have stalled. They present their analysis of the system and then when asked, “now what?”, they have no answer. Patrick Deneen’s last book is a great example. He explains the defects of what he calls liberalism but then gets frightened by the implications and quits the project.

Another angle to this is that this subculture has attracted the interest and limited support from members of the oligarchy. Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are two examples of billionaires who seem to support this project. Claremont operates like a political version of Y Combinator, sponsoring people and projects within this space. Some have proven to be defective, like Richard Hanania, but others, like the IM1776 project or Passage Press, have been more successful.

Trump tapping into this space and thus getting support from members of the oligarchy bodes well for him and the subculture that produced Vance. No reform effort can survive without elite support. This not only bodes well for the project, but it means Trump has a chance to not only win the election but get something done. Proof that the universe has a sense of humor is that this is the real Flight 93 election, a last attempt by reform minded oligarchs to save the system.

“It is an identitarianism that is majority white, but tolerant of a fringe that is not white, but fully assimilated.”

That’s how we may frame America, but JD’s family situation smells of the libertarian oligarchy attitude that people are interchangeable, that this is not a blood and soil country. Our demographics are in a dire situation right now. That is really the only issue that matters. I have trouble believing that someone with a lefty “Asian” wife is going to be sensitive to the need to get the house in order.

Exactly. Setting aside the assassination attempt, Trump is an old man, and the chances of this guy becoming El Jefe if Trump is elected are pretty significant. Something tells me that if a guy with a son named Vivek becomes the head honcho, the primary change we can expect is that the flood of immigrants becomes his San Fran girlboss wife’s 203 uncles and 3rd cousins named Pajeet instead of guys named Juan. Frankly, I would rather take the one’s named Juan. They at least have some fragments of European culture in their background from the continent’s history. The dot… Read more »

Indians coming to America either maintain the entirety of their culture or go hyper-secular. Frankly the latter is more terrifying. Similarly, as much flak as fundamentalist Muslims get, they are far less dangerous than their woke converts. The converts feel the need to signal submission to power like you wouldn’t believe and there are no brakes on what they will do to gain social status.

One of my neighbors is a traditional Muslim, and his wife was raised Muslim but is now completely secular. I can work with the guy, but his wife terrifies me.

Traditional Islam is about appearances. Men supposedly are running the show. However, it appears that women really run most of everything that is not politics, even if in some countries they are wearing some garbage bags in public. I note that garbage bag fashion means that older women need not compete with younger and pretty ones.
Such a wife is not an embarrassment in the US. If she has job/career, quite often that would make her a high status wife. She also does not to be provided for. Shoulder shrugs will do here.

I too prefer the blood and soil Juanita to a Pajeet, but they are not in the elite academic and corporate circles, hence the talented white guys who can’t find traditional white brides marry Asians.

One thing you will rarely see an actual talented white man doing is marrying an Asian, East or South. Can you imagine a guy like Trump using an Asian as anything but a quick lay?

The sorts of white guys who pick those types of women are pretty much invariably weak cucks who need the most docile possible women in order to breed, and all it costs them is having their sons become hapa supreme gentlemen like Eliot Rodgers.

Young men in America today looking for a compatible mate will find slim pickings. The cities, the college campuses, women you meet at work are majority Woke feminists. Loneliness, being alone, is a depressing place to be. So what’s a guy to do? He finds an immigrant woman whose more traditional value system is more in alignment with his own. It’s not ideal, but better than being alone or married to a crazy tattooed American cat woman who may decide that your son is actually male.

It might very well be that White racial ”purity” as promoted in DR circles is dead. The best that can therefore come about is a racially blind immigration system based upon the needs of American society in the future. Hopefully resembling a meritocracy. It was once that way, except there were quotas attached to countries/nationalities of origin, but your “skills” were judged wrt need and employment. So yes, one can imagine many Indian immigrants from high castes coming in, but that is balanced by a reduction in low IQ dirt scrapers from the third world. In some respects, this might… Read more »

The DR concept of Race Realism has yet to take hold and at the rate we are progressing, may never reach a critical mass. It seems entirely possible, perhaps probable, that immigration reform comes about in a form that does not consider race, but rather “quality” of the applicant solely. Quality of course needs to be discussed, but it won’t be race. This would solve the problem of race differences discussion—which to date is not… Read more »

I upvoted your comments because they are reasonable and within the range of possible outcomes. However, minority tribalism would need to disappear for this path to result in an acceptable compromise. Given that IQ disparities are stubborn things, I do not see this happening anytime soon. I believe our more likely best outcome is something like we see in Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana where the black population is over 30%, but the states are deep red due to whites being very race realistic based on their close daily interactions.

But in any event, it certainly is better than the millions flooding in now whose only ability is fogging a mirror. It looks like… Read more »

You are completely wrong when talking about the U.S. Canada and Australia. There has been so much mixing for so long the old conflicts have been forgotten and even if they weren’t how would you tell who is who? However, you are right when discussing Europeans. It hasn’t been nearly long enough for them to forget their past wars, and so you will never, in your lifetime, get a Frenchman to say he is the very same thing as an Englishman or a German.

A thin reed, but Indian upper castes are an Aryan admixture, as are the mestizos.
Another small plus is that their religions preserved far more of the ancient proto-Aryan sciences than did the socio-political cant of the Habiru (they didn’t have meteors smashing the place to smithereens.)

Since Nature’s intent is relentless, that is, to spread the upgrade (us), we might become as the jews; retaining consanguinous cores of breeders to replenish the constant assimilation of an outbreeder majority.

“Aryan” stuff is just made up academic junk from the early 20th century. It’s a way to replace God for Europeans and give them a way to throw away their immediate history and heritage. Pajeet is not our ancestors. Even if he were, he’s way too different to make a compatible society.

Not entirely made up. The Indo-Europeans seem to have originated somewhere in northern India and the Aryans were an offshot that migrated to Iran (the word comes from Aryan) and later into Europe. Now does that make us natural boon companions with Rajiv and Deepika? Certainly not. But we do share genetic material, and you can’t say that about most other non-European peoples.

The wealthiest people in India tend not to be North Indian Brahmins — Parsees and Jains to name two groups. North Indian Brahmins tend to be Civil Servants, Lawyers, that kind of thing — not money grabbers like Patels, or tech CEOs like (say) the Iyers. Caste == mini-race == Destiny.

Parsee is a Hindi corruption of Persian. The Parsees, mostly confined to Bombay, are a remnant of ancient Persians who settled in India and they still practice Zoroastrianism. Freddie Mercury, improably enough, was a Parsee.

I’m aware of that fact. Many of the wealthiest Indians traditionally were Parsis (e.g. Tata clan). There’s still a bunch of them sitting on a pile of money in Hong Kong — arrived with the British, founded the bank which became HSBC, did very well in the opium trade, etc. I don’t think it qualifies as a full-on Fire Temple, but they have some kind of religious centre here. The Parsi remnant in Iran seems to be fairly well tolerated by the Mullahs.. again one of those things which jar with the propaganda we’re fed by GAE media. We focus… Read more »

This shiznat with Ron Howard having made a movie about JD Vance, way the heck back in 2020, simply stinks to high heaven. My guess is that the Sodomite Paedophile Industrial Complex, which controls the GOP***, has had their eye on JD [JenDer-fluid] Vance since forever. In turn, that would tend to imply that Ron Howard did indeed have to bend the knee & perform the fellatio on the circumcised erections of Hollywood, in order to have a career as a movie director in the United States.

Impossible to say anything with any surety right yet. I am more informed about American politics than the average Canuck – and I had no idea who this guy is or was. He stinks to high heaven: supposedly raised in poverty and squalor, with a psychotic family… usually kids from those childhoods end up in jail or doing low paying mundane jobs at best. But I am supposed to believe he bravely rose above his circumstances, and rose to prominence in the Marines and other organizations on pluck and merit alone? Pull my other finger!

Too harsh. I know nothing about Vance, but if he is one of the “smart ones”, it is entirely possible he rose above his early life circumstance. I can speak of that from experience. My background in life is completely lower (no) class up until I entered university. I don’t pat myself on the back here, much has to due with Providence, and less to do with me. Nonetheless, there is nothing in my biography to suggest good things were in store for me at birth.

As I said over on Bayou Renaissance Man where my motto is Épater les Boomers, Vance pulled himself up by his bootstraps by not impregnating siblings or cousins in his ancestral in-bred Appalachian mountain fastness. He also did well by surviving an enlisted tour in the military and doing well in his GI Bill undergrad. Somehow he got into Harvard Law as ‘White Trash’ — if he did this under his own steam then even better… but likely he got a big leg up at this stage from Claremont-aligned talent scouts.

I myself believe he understands this and has appointed an heir to his legacy (if he makes one). It will take three terms at least to right this country and that’s if all goes well with domestic policy and world events. There are many “spiteful mutants” to contend with.

At this point my willingness to support Trump and Vance boils down to Ukraine. Both Trump and Vance seem inclined to end the conflict on the most favorable terms Ukraine can get (probably the loss of four oblasts and Crimea and neutrality guaranteed by Russian presence monitoring the remnants of the Ukraine military, but the continued existence of the Ukrainian state). If Ukraine doesn’t agree, Trump and Vance would cut off the funding. The fact that the Europeans seem terrified of Trump and Vance is another reason to support them.

The people celebrating Trump getting shot or saying it’s fake and he staged it, these people want him dead and all of us dead also. They may pull out all the stops and steal it again. We may be able to see the corruption from Mars but not voting at this point because the candidates aren’t perfect it’s just madness. The other side wants your son’s castrated and your daughter’s raped. All your are voting for is the people that don’t want that. It’s not a real hard decision

I’m willing to accept the possibility that you outlined: Vance was involved in the never Trump stuff because he adopted the politics of those around him. He then had some epiphanies and started moving towards Trump, and even some viewpoints on our side. Heck, everyone on here started somewhere else and ended here ideologically. The list of people he follows on X is interesting evidence to that conclusion that I’ll mull over. HOWEVER… You can’t easily gloss over the married to an Indian woman thing. It’s not just that he married an Indian woman. It was an “interfaith” Hindu-Christian marriage… Read more »

It is also possible that Vance has moved substantially rightward over the last several years and that, if he had it to do all over again, wouldn’t marry the subcon.

His wife is the interior of his life. It will dominate his thoughts and most of his “off” time for the rest of his life. Vance by having a foreign wife is not going to be a nationalist. That’s probably why he was chosen, despite a weird history and other red flags.

Trump’s pick of Vance bought me another election cycle. I thought it was a terrific pick, and most notably, it finally exposed Nick F as a sputtering little goblin: the goy Ben Shapiro.

If the system can be saved, big IF, we’ll need Vance and Gaetz and Massie and Theil and Musk money. Not our guys of course, but like they say, Gaetz didn’t get me cancelled for being edgy online.

After the recent elections in the UK and France, however, I do think this is the actual Flight 93 election. If Trump loses, the Borg has won.

Not just the Finkels. Leftist whites are equally to blame, possibly more so. And seeking to expel the Sand Hutus does not gainsay the wisdom of ejecting a few other groups, too. It is simply one phase of the same project. Sending the Muzz packing is a big step in the right direction and is preperatory to the general white reconquete. If you condition whites that repatriating one group is kosher–so to speak–then they will be more likely to take similar action against other groups.

When he got a good look at what those politics meant, he reacted negatively and started down the path that led him to this point. Anyone who has been to a dissident event has heard a version of this story many times.… Read more »

I don’t think federalism as contemplated in the Constitution is even possible now. We have a de facto separation happening within states at an accelerating rate, and that likely will lead to future white enclaves. The Regime is working overtime to prevent and offset it, but time is not on its side, which is why such effort is being put into an otherwise meaningless pageant this fall. A racial form of federalism would work, but that would not be allowed under present circumstances.

Thiel was outed by Gawker and proceeded to destroy it in a spectacular fashion. The Left’s impulsiveness is its Achilles Heel and that is playing out publicly now.

“The system” is anti-whiteness. Vivek on the Romans (and Iowa voters) and Vance in his book (and life) have signaled their allegiance to it. Does it need saving? Seems to be doing fine, with or without them. They’re just into it. Trump’s surrender to that faction of the regime is a sad fate, but it’s probably the least horrible end he’s allowed. Does he know?

Vance, King Cobra and Musk represent a new elite emerging. Sure, they’re part of the system, but you can see how they’re bristling at being just the help.

I don’t think he wants you dead, but he probably doesn’t mind the white kids learning lgbt/celebrate sodomy ‘tolerance’ in school while his kids will not be traumatized like that. He may be willing to say POC kids and parents have a different culture so should be exempt while white kids don’t get that privilege. That’s very possible.

There is only one issue that matters in the upcoming election, and that is the energy issue, specifically its falsification as an environmental concern. The “Green New Deal” and it associated patterns of thought represent an existential threat to civilization in a way that nothing else in our day and age even compares to. No energy, no civilization.

People will not willingly and peacefully return to a Thomas Jefferson agrarian lifestyle preindustrial level of civilization, as some hippie dreamer theater majors imagine. The “Green New Deal,” if allowed to gain traction, when it eventually fails will ratchet the temperature of competitive geopolitics to feverish levels and that will almost certainly lead us to nuclear annihilation. The temperature is already rising dangerously (metaphorically speaking of course). That is unquestionably an existential threat to civilization.

The best thing that can be said about JD Vance is that he is the virtual opposite of that pussy fart known as Mike Pence. Trump is not going to tolerate any backstabbing going forward and Vance is a fighter, so you want someone like him on your side when the time comes to throw down. If Trump wins in November, I hope Vance will swing a baseball bat in the Senate during the interim before inauguration.

I guess what you are saying, and I don’t mean to engage in sophistry, but it is basically impossible to do anything of consequence as VP, unless the President lets you do it, which almost never happens (Dick Cheney and… that’s about it). I tend to think that Trump may give Vance more rope especially considering the elite and power players behind him, but it’s impossible to tell until it happens.

I do think Vance is by far the frontrunner for 2028 though, no matter what happens in this election.

Vance is one of the few intelligent members of the Senate. I’ll give you that.
