Cat ladies ... really!
I think everyone has missed the importance of Vance's comments. They have honed in on "cat ladies", but I see a more threatening meaning. I have long noticed Republicans have suggested at various times that only people with property should be allowed to vote. It is in this vein that Vance's comment makes far more sense.
Vance had included within his comment the phrase "[those with] no direct stake" in America. What he is inferring is some people are better than others due to their social, and by extension any criteria, condition. This sounds like bigotry pure and simple. It also formed the basis for Republican calls for only landed people given the right to vote, or to put it in his terms, those with a direct stake in America. So it appears to me he wants only the billionaire class to have the right to vote , since they have the greatest stake in the future of America.
No wonder he wrote the preface to Project 2025. No wonder Trump said you won't have to vote again. Yep ... it means the complete transformation of a Democratic America into an autocratic America. Can we recover at this precipice in history? The deck is stacked against the lovers of Democracy as I see the letters of the idea slowly dissolving before my eyes as I type.
