    Isn’t it weird the Republican nominees don’t laugh like most people?I haven’t watched much of Vance to notice this but since they’re ragging on Harris for laughing I bet that’s a big bullet point to avoid when he’s in public.

      Emotions are difficult for them outside of fear and anger over “everything wrong with this country”. They don’t like public display of emotion, as evidenced by their sharp criticism of Walz’ son Gus crying at the convention. They do seem pretty happy to inflict suffering where they can.

        I actually don’t think I’ve seen Vance express what seemed to be one single genuine emotion. Even his “anger” feels and sounds manufactured. The one time I felt anything genuine from him was when he was telling the story about how he told his son to shut the hell up about pokemon

      It’s because they’re sociopaths, but not the well adjusted kind that can blend into society.

        More than 50% of republicans have begun an address to a crowd/reporter with, “Look, we all kill dogs sometimes…”

      Has tRump ever laughed? I can’t recall ever seeing a clip of him laughing. I bet when he does, it’s to something horrible happening to women & children

        The closest I’ve seen to genuine happiness is the video of him laughing with Jeffrey Epstein, so yeah, that checks out.

        He punches down in his ‘jokes’, and laughs at other people’s misery rather than when it’s in good humour. How anyone can vote for a politician that can’t laugh at themselves let alone a good joke is a mystery to me.
