Person Behind JD Vance Couch Sex Meme Comes Clean

For the past two weeks, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance has been mocked as someone who has sex with couches — a strange situation even in the no-holds-barred world of presidential politics.

Now the person who created the bizarre meme is coming clean to Business Insider about how he came up with the weird accusation

Rick thinks the meme has stuck to Vance because the Ohio Senator gives off a “couch-fucker” vibe.

“I have really enjoyed thinking about his team and all of the idiots associated with him having to grapple with this,” Rick told Business Insider. “I think by the time the AP thing came out, I was talking to one of my sisters and saying, ‘Oh, yeah, Trump is already calling him a couch-fucker.’”

1. I don't think MAGA or Vance-supporters have a sense of humor--he may regret "coming clean..."

3. I don't think a real threat of violence is EVER a low priority.

I am fortunate to live in a very blue area, but I recently witnessed a very disturbing road rage incident between a Trump flag-waving guy in a pickup truck and a little Asian woman in a subcompact (not even sporting a political bumper sticker but merely one talking about Peace)... These idiots are out there and it takes little more than the opportunity to trigger some of them.

 

Think. Again.

....and I suspect the rightwingers WILL be lashing out more and more until November, and after November they'll be heavily violent no matter what happens with the election.

I just feel that at this moment, speaking out loudly and confidently against trump and FOR Harris is a primary goal, even in the face of very real threats.

Their goals depend on intimidation, let's not let them succeed in that.

4. I feel "couch boinker" is a more civilized way to discuss G.O.P. fetishes

The Nuns I knew would have been horrified by the republican kink, and terminology

But perhaps they would be more understanding if we upgraded our rhetoric to lift the spirits of our fellow American citizens by using a proper, polite way to refer to the republican practice of "couch boinking." It would elevate the whole debate to a level worthy of our species.
