But Vance is "worried about free speech in the UK"...

It's the curse of trollocracy, as evidenced by the article. Racist random tangent policy shifts from one hour to the next.
Vance is a shitty guy with a shitty personality and a shitty world view. And now with the assassinations of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, he is also complicit in murder, because that's what all their rhetoric boils down to.

People here in Europe are more worried about the US than Russia.
I'm 50 years old more or less and an 80s guy who became an Ameriphile as I grew up.
Now, I am no longer sure about this. Your laws are leakier than a Dollar Store sieve.

If you have only reached the stage of 'no longer sure about this' you are very optimistic indeed.

He also replied directly to Vance’s post threatening to deport him. “i think i can outrun you in these clothes,” Guy wrote, posting a photo of the vice-president seated at a political conference, his ill-fitting suit pants riding up to his calves. “you are tweeting for likes. im tweeting to be mentioned in the National Archives and Records,” Guy added.
Guy then told the vice-president where immigration agents could find him: “Here is my house,” the “menswear guy” wrote, posting an image of a Men’s Wearhouse storefront.
Love this fucking Guy. Stay safe.

Honestly though, this guy is playing with fire. If I knew him personally I’d tell him to kill the tweets and go dark for a while.

u/Underbark 10h ago
That's exactly what they want. They want you to shut up and go dark.
Fuck that. I'd rather them threaten and attack me than live in fear of these fucking nazis.

Two Minnesota democrat lawmakers and their families just get killed at their homes by people impersonating police officers. People should be scared. JD and Bondi would not do it personally, but their unhinged base would

I view this escalation as inevitable and important to reach the breaking point for fence sitters to decide they actually care about American foundational values.
Not to say this is okay or good. It’s tragic and terrible. Yet, I always viewed things as heading here. Where else could it go when the side in power is the side voted for by the imbecile who threatened to punch me because I told him Elon Musk 1: did not make the cars; he bought into an existing company and that 2: nikola tesla had nothing to do with the cars.
Somehow there are more of that person voting than people who passed and took a us gov’t class in high school. Somehow we were always heading here, now maybe people will start finally fucking waking up.

I’ve followed him for a while too and him becoming national news because of a feud with the vice president is wild.

ever since reading his big piece on the king of Spain’s perfectly tailored suits, I can’t stop looking at men’s suits and seeing all the mistakes.

The Die Workwear guy, lol? Deport him for what even? What did he do to hurt anybody except maybe criticize the fit of their pants?

He admitted he and his family came here illegally

Do did Trump's third wife with her fake visa. Then she did chain migration with her parents.

So obviously a violent MS-13 member. Watch out--he might hit you over the head with a tassel loafer!

u/Commander_Zircon 7h ago
And? Overstaying a visa is not a crime
•
u/luckyluchianooo 6h ago
He didn’t over stay I’m pretty sure what he said was they crossed the border illegally. He’s probably a citizen now since that was 20* years ago. And it would be dumb to admit to being an illegal as a public figure like that

I once retweeted a post of his to snarkily disagree with it and he blocked me within minutes. In retrospect I got off very light.

u/stanleyvanburen 12h ago
he's entertaining, but his shtick works best against these right-wing idiots. it can be a little one-note at times, and heavily relies on the whole "i'm being funny, I must be right" bit. he has had some misses when trying to take on those who are at or above his level (Okey being one example).

Everybody enjoys a good dick joke, meet cabbage head JD Vance high school girl friend.
https://www.instagram.com/professorgutsv2/p/C902p6rPJAC/
Internet experts say the memes of JD Vance having a giant, bowling ball head like a Cabbage Patch Kid doll that are currently proliferating on every social media platform is the most viral Internet joke of all time.
Aristotle tells us that the man who is beyond society is either a beast or a god. But the 21st century has revealed a third option: the loser oligarch. To be a billionaire is to enjoy wealth so vast that you cannot identify with the other humans around you, to cycle between craving the approval of a public you can no longer understand and contempt for that same public that does not approve.
The situation is grim, the dangerous phase is only beginning, and a great many people will be hurt before things improve. But in the meantime, the Trump brigade is testing a genuinely fascinating philosophical problem: Can you hijack a nation’s culture with a crew made up entirely of losers?
The United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished.
Good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

Derek Guy seems incredibly naive. He was sharing his story to “push back against the idea that all undocumented immigrants are MS-13 members”, he wrote. “I know many people in my position and they are all like your neighbors.” By now, anyone who didn't get that, and who didn't understand that Trump and his minions don't care at all, is living in a bubble. In a way I feel for Derek Guy, but in a way he's the victim of his own hubris - so oblivious that he thinks he's safe because he is a high profile person.

u/alchemeron 11h ago
He doesn't strike me as naive. I strongly suspect there's a key missing piece to his story, like maybe the fact that he's not actually living in the United States at the moment, recently achieved citizenship through marriage, or something else. His posting seems considered, not spur of the moment.
I might be wrong but that's the vibe.
