To those crazies (Yarvin, Land etc):
https://theawl.eli.pizza/2015/09/the-darkness-before-the-right/

I don’t think The Awl exists anymore, but that was where I first read about Yarvin. He is nuts. That Awl piece is not even written by a flaming liberal. I don’t know what McDougal’s politics are, but he also writes for Unherd which is conservative.

That is how crazy Yarvin is. Not someone a reasonable conservative even would back. A nutcase and as such perfect for Vance.

I am looking forward to the debate. I very rarely drink anymore due to worries about alcohol and cancer, but I bought a small bottle of wine just for this debate. I think it is a waste to listen to Vance entirely sober ;-/.
