Bouvard on Vance, Carlson, and Republican Direction

X / Twitter · Mar 09, 2026 · 1 min read

Very interestng and for me encourgaing (despite my own reservations about Rubio) but I don't know why the headline attributes the change to the Iran war.

Of course, I should always add "if true."

@Imperius__13 What would being more disciplined in the future mean? The only real question here is Tucker Carlson and the groypers. (Unless the donors have other things in mind.)

@Imperius__13 I have no estimation of Vance. I only know that there is no explanation of his relation to Carlson and the groypers that could make me want him to be president more than I do now, which is not at all. Even more, I'm pretty sure Vance wants it that way, so there's a kind of bond.

@Imperius__13 We'll find out soon enough who Vance is. I notice that in your panegyric on Vance, the Carlson question doesn't arise. You dismiss Carlson, and yet the amazing Vance can't.

@Imperius__13 I haven’t been vague.

@Imperius__13 Vance is helping to mainstream bizarre, fevered libels against Jews within the Republican Party and the country. I consider this to be a form of sabotage. If you find that to be vague, you can draw your own conclusions about yourself.
