Vance and other GOP creeps don't hate themselves. They hate the great unwashed. They also know they need the votes of said unwashed to win power, fame, and money. so they slap on bro beards and Just Plain Folks clothes--DeSantis in white rubber boots still cracks me up--and pander accordingly.

And, unfortunately, win.

If clean shaves, Savile Row suits, and speaking with perfect diction won elections, they'd all look and act like British bankers. That they don't is because they know their audience--knuckleheads who believe Ted Cruz is on their side because he grew a Fidel beard and wears flannel shirts--and in they jump, embracing the Bible, Trump, and Margie Three Names.

America deserves better, but to get better, voters have to do better. Guys like J.D. Vance are only responding to the marketplace.

I’m not sure I agree America deserves better at this point. But we do deserve whatever is coming to us.

I don't deserve what's coming to us. I didn't vote for these twerps.

Cruz grew that beard to hide his resting puffin face.

It helped him look less like a puffin!

The rest of him can't be helped.

Resting weasel face.

Every time I see someone mock the beard, I want to say “Do you remember what Cruz looked like *before* the beard?? D’you actually want that back??”

Given his options, I think he’s making the best of what he has to work with 🧔🏻
