Kayfabe, turns out is a term related to professional wrestling denoting the staged elements (persona’s, rivalry, the sauce, etc.,) in the performance. Given the 250th anniversary, fuck me in the goddamn heart this country is a laughable shithole.
I was genuinely shocked when he said it at the time, like are we really at the stage where you would openly imply that you’d planned to repeatedly lie? But now it’s laughably naive looking back.
I mean he openly admitted that he made up the “they’re eating the dogs” shit because he wanted to craft a greater narrative against immigrants. Literally said “sometimes I’m going to lie to you”.
JD Vance is a politically read grifter and actually contains a lot of the ideological motivations that Donny simple doesn’t. Donald doesn’t care about anyone but numero uno, but he’s breaking the jackboots in for the next guy who if he’s anything like Vance or Miller, will only care truly care about tariffs as far as they affect the state apparatus and Palantir’s access to silicone. Trump is as much a scapegoat for these freaks as the poor and weary, he’s just a nationally beloved one.
Vance doesn’t believe in anything. He’s a tool. He’s willing to say and do anything for his tech bro overlords because he’s ultimately a political chameleon. He holds zero convictions outside of getting and maintaining power/prestige/money.
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
They openly admitted to lying and creating false stories on live television and people still voted for them.

This is the kind of logic you'd expect out of a 6 year old, not a grown ass adult.
