Almost immediately after Vance got the nod, I hit on a description for the way he appeared to me. At the time, it was necessarily based on very little info, so mostly I posted it because I liked the imagery - I admittedly wasn't sure how accurate it really was.
Imagine that life is a roleplaying game, and in every interaction, one chooses from a set of possible responses.
And imagine that each response is labeled, so there's the kind response or the neutral response or the angry response or whatever.
It's as if, in every situation, J.D. Vance chooses the asshole response.
It's actually sort of surprising to me how accurate that has proven to be. .
Also like Fable, he makes a lot of tall promises he has no intention of keeping.
