why do people believe this?
my assessment: JD Vance follows BAP because he met a Straussian/Thielbot who recommended BAP, and he is somewhat intellectually curious, or at least interested in exploring the trendiest/newest rhetoric from the intellectual right. i am guessing BAP was presented to him as naughty but intriguing. vance has collborated with nrx-adjacent/Claremont people like cuckbeard for the same reasons.
there is absolutely no indication that vance agrees with anything *good* that BAP believes in any way, and i'm even more certain that no one will ever find BAP or dissident right twitter accounts through vance, who is first and foremost a social climber.
i am 100% willing to say i was wrong if he ever retweets a White Nationalist.
