I wonder why that article doesn't mention his wanting to cut Social Security? Source? Here's what I've read about his thoughts on SS reform (which are wacky, but at least he's thought about it):
In talking to Ross Douthat of the Times, Vance outlines his thoughts on how to fix Social Security: “Take those seven million prime-age men not in the labor force. Those people are supported, very often, by public resources. You shift millions of those men from not working to working; you increase wages across the board; you increase tariffs; and I think that you buy yourself a whole hell of a lot more than the nine or 10 years that the actuaries say that we have. You get more revenue, yes, from tariffs, but from more people being in the labor force, from higher productivity growth, from higher wages, from transitioning young people who are not working into the work force.”

I was wrong.

Higher tariffs equal higher prices on goods , throwing logs on the inflation fire.

Of course people change their mind all the time when it comes to politics. Question is did Vance change his opinion of Trump, or Hitler.

Yep. If Trump gets his way, inflation will come roaring back. Tax cuts, tariffs, deporting illegals who work at our lowest paying jobs, will result in higher costs of goods and services and higher federal borrowing, higher national debt and higher interest rates.
That's not politics, it's economics.
Maybe we shouldn't chant "Fight!"
New campaign cheer: "Higher!"

Orders from above. Notice the R platform doesn't mention abortion, or the deficit.
Trump has pushed the party toward the center.

Yes, personally being responsible for overturning Roe, and bragging about is classic centrist. I'm sure America's women won't remember.

Once women get past the losing of abortion rights, this little tidbit should really motivate them to vote for the ticket with a rapist at the top.
I'm told the little ladies love this sort of thing.

J.D. Vance, winner of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice-style Veepstakes contest, told a group of young conservatives that they should listen to “nonconventional” people like conspiracist Alex Jones in a candid closed-door speech in 2021. “But if you listen to Alex Jones every day, you would believe that a transnational financial elite controls things in our country,” Vance pivoted to say. “That they hate our society, and, oh, by the way, a lot of them are probably sex perverts too.” "Jones, the owner of the far-right Infowars site, has declared multiple bankruptcies over the years to avoid paying $1.1 billion in damages owed to the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre after a court found him guilty of defamation. " "Vance reportedly went on to tell the attendees that Jones’ view of society is much more accurate than Maddow’s, revealing just how deep his conservatism runs when in private.
