      But it sticks because Vance looks like the kind of weirdo who would actually do that. It wouldn’t work on Biden, for example.

      I figured it was too absurd to be real, but I can’t help but laugh at jokes about it.

      It’s not every election that something like this, independent from all the serious conversations, becomes a meme.

      I’m just amazed anyone thought otherwise. To me it clearly seemed to be a joke. Then when the AP fact check went up (saying he probably didn’t, but no one can be certain), it got exponentially more hilarious. And then when, inevitably, they took the fact check down, it was fully cemented into the public consciousness.

      I wish we’d spend the time on things that actually matter, like him wanting to insert himself into things that should be between a person and their doctor, but since it bothers horrible people, I’m not complaining.

      But then other news suggests its totally true and a verified fact, we’re just asking questions and assuming the answer that feels most true. I’ll never belive the media lies that he isn’t a sofa fucker.
