This story [Conservative backlash at Vance hoping his wife wouldn’t go to Hell] is not bad in isolation, but it is so when contextualized by Vance’s story.

JD Vance is an empty opportunistic suit who changed skins many times to fit the game: he is doing it here as well:

The Atlantic wrote a detailed profile titled “The Talented Mr. Vance”, mirroring the movie “The Talented Mr. Ripley” about a character who steals identities. Let me add my perspective and lay out the many “Vances” we had:

• A neo-con when he was in Iraq and afterwards: he was the only one in his base excited that the mystery visitor was Dick Cheney and not Jessica Simpson.
• He shifted ideology to gain wealth and elite access: becoming a globalist Silicon-Valley-type enlightened-secular-agnostic marrying an Indian and giving his kids Indian names, calling Trump a Nazi.
• He shifted ideology to faux populist MAGA but quietly retained Silicon Valley connections to enrich himself and advance their agenda.
• As the Right went further Right: JD Vance becomes Catholic in 2019.
• When 2024 came along: he became more Trumpian and bashing, discarding political decorum. He then used his Silicon Valley connections to become VP hence the current Big Tech dominance over the administration.
• Now, JD Vance is transforming again; adopting Groyper-ish attitudes and dismissiveness to align with the online far right. He stopped making any posts celebrating Hindu holidays or showing his kids, wife and extended Indian family. He knows the online Right is intolerant of his wife’s and kids’ Hinduism and Hindu names, hence he said what he said "I’ll convert them for you"
