I think you are right! Searching for himself. Did you read his book. He had a pathetic childhood. I wonder if he’s ever dealt with all of those horrific incidence he had as a child. If he hasn’t, they will come to roost. Right now he’s very arrogant without reason.

I did read his book and I thought it was very interesting and insightful into that very difficult world. When he was getting into the political scene I thought he would bring a sense of overcoming obstacles, championing the underdog, and confronting the crazy conspiracy theories and seeing Trump for who he is. His behavior in politics have made me wonder how his viewpoints got so extreme and how he has bought into Trumpism? It’s very disappointing

Search YouTube for The Nerd Reich: "2. David Sacks' Dark Vision: Tech Elites & the Rise of Authoritarian Politics"

Peter Thiel got Shady Vance elected to the Senate by donating millions to his campaign when he was polling at the bottom of all his competitors; also got him a VC investor post in Silicon Valley before that. There are lots of interviews of Thiel all over YouTube. Spread the word.

Yeah, same. I remember liking the book which makes me wonder how on act this all is. Too bad, another one caught up in the Trump sewer. Oh well

They both have lots of issues, obviously, but as much as I’d like to understand them, the bottom line is their policies and leadership has been unconstitutional and anti democracy

He is striking back at anyone and everyone because he hasn’t dealt with his life and taking his problems out on the world. People who go through trauma and don’t get help always seek revenge but on the wrong people. Being Trumps 2nd in command gives Vance the opportunity to be just like Trump and get away with being evil and malicious and not having to pay the consequences. But some day his revenge seeking is going to come back to haunt him.

One more thing I left out of my message. I think Trump had lots of issues too just simply crazy.

Trump’s Grandfather owned a Brothel/Restaurant in Canada and that’s how the family made their fortune. That’s also why Trump is a rapist, sex offender etc. True story look it up. It’s all over our Canadian history.

hmmm ... something the following have in common, a pathetic childhood: Vance, Musk, NumptyDumpty, and Hitler. Good reasons NOT to deprive women of their reproductive rights. Unwanted and unloved babies can grow up to destroy humanity.

How much of that book is fiction? So far, I can't think of anything approaching the truth that has ever come out of his mouth.

I didn’t read it or watch the movie. I thought that the book was based on his life but not actually whole life. It could explain where the white Christian Nationalism came into play:
