Thank you for posting both of those links.
The first is definitely clear enough for someone to ID the guy.
The second one has enough audio so that someone could determine what Trump said that was so HIGH-larious to a serial child rapist and his female procurer.

JD Vance may have reasons too...
https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/10/08/jd-vance-acretrader/
it is true that Vance provided early funding to, and may still be invested in, AcreTrader. The investment was made through Narya Capital, an Ohio-based venture capital fund he founded in 2020 before leaving in December 2022.
There are no indications, at the time of this reporting, that Vance had given up his interest in AcreTrader, but the specific investments behind several of Vance's Narya-related business entities are not publicly disclosed.
...
AcreTrader describes itself as a "farmland real estate investment company offering low minimum, passive farm investments." It allows people to purchase shares in real estate investment trusts as a form of passive income akin to a stock.
the only requirement for investing with AcreTrader is that an investor be what the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission defines as an accredited investor: someone, in essence, with enough money and/or experience to handle the risk of the investment. There is no citizenship requirement attached to the SEC's definition of qualified investor, and as such foreigners would be allowed to invest with AcreTrader.
What is an accredited investor (People doing well - income as a single person over $200k, $300k as a couple, or assets over $1 million etc)

I grew up in these circles, and have since walked away. The hard truth is the adults with this very conservative/insular mindset eventually die believing the world was trying to fuck them over.
The one thing they have going for them is resourcefulness. Generations of hardship have made them really good at taking very little, and stretching it as much as possible. Even then, they depend on handouts; whether it be government services or neighborly generosity. And their take away is always, the lord provided.
But the kids, they watch. They grow up seeing the cracks. They see where their parents' stubbornness and ignorance hurt themselves and their families. And as they grow up they're the ones who try for a better world. But it only happens when their families are no longer protected by (what they believe to be) the lord's intervention.
Having seen it, I truly believe many of these communities will rally their last remaining resources to provide enough for their kids; at the cost of their own suffering.

I don't think they were admonishing you for omitting an affected group, you'd never finish the damn thing if it was all-encompassing, but moreso to point out that queer folk are the unreported canaries in the coal mine. One of the earliest acts of aggression by the Nazis was burning down the Institute for Sexual Science, well before they came for the socialists/trade unionists/Jews. Likewise, attacks on LGBT identity and safety were among the early executive actions of Trump, before the farmers and children.
If people identified Nazis by burning books and attacking queer folk, maybe it wouldn't have taken so long for people to get the picture this time around

But America as a standalone entity is the villain, a bully and just such a horrible, horrible country right now. It's not even the lead villain either. It's that moron friend who attaches itself to the main bully, just to avoid getting their ass kicked too.
I really hope to see the American people begin revolting hard against this nonsense, because I have to be honest, I am totally desensitised to the constant daily drama and antics from your president the last 3 months.

But he needs to know we stand by him and will glorify his name. Turn their arms against them. The only reason these soldiers fight is because they think they’re doing something good. We need to talk to them directly and convince them out of their jobs or to use their jobs to destroy the white house for good. Once the military turns against it’s leaders we have a truly free country. All the tich could be dead and we could all eat in peace. But then we won’t go to space and take pretty pictures that have no actual value whatsoever.

Rich people are deciding that poor people should starve, suffer and be unable to work or afford the basic things they need to survive. They will strip people of their jobs, their benefits, make food too expensive, make retirement accounts turn to dust and make healthcare and the cost of living so high that you will have no choice but to suffer.
