JD Vance's pro segregation remark: "'I want to live next to people who I have something in common with"

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Said oct 29th on a podcast


When discussing the Haitian population in Springfield, he noted that some landlords were charging more money so multiple families could stay in an apartment meant for fewer people, which drives up costs for everyone else. I often heard that complaint when doing some reporting for another outlet. But instead of stopping there, he went much further.

“It is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four or five families of strangers.”

He also said some in the neighborhood might think, “Wait a second. What is going on here? I don't know these people. They don't speak the same language that I do."

America's new policy is segregation. JD Vance said as much. | Opinion https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2025/11/01/jd-vance-new-york-post-podcast-segregation/86990034007/

1. Unfortunately, lots of people feel that way. Heck, I wouldn't want to live next door to a white wing rube.

But, we know what Vance means. Question is, how many people feel the same way? Think it’s more than I expected after November 2024. Sad.

30. This is exactly what is at the heart of MAGA.

NO matter what they say or tell themselves it is racism, our and simple.
Racist, Sexist, Bigots.....GO AWAY.

They are angry because they self segregated away from the "Brown" cities into the "Heartland".
Then what happened?

They could not get away from the fact that most of America evolved away from THEM.
Suddenly they could not get away from the AA people on TV or in movies. They could not get away from the gay characters kisses and expressing natural affection on TV and in the movies. It drove them CRAZY.

They could not self segregate from their entertainment and it made them NUTS!

The future is moving away from THEM.
EVOLVE damn it!

44. To be fair, many of us don't want to live in certain states

And while sure it's understandable why a woman, minority, or LGBTQ+ person might leave a state that's looking to do away with their rights, at the same time doing so makes those states that much more likely to regress. I say this knowing I'm not planning on leaving Massachusetts for anywhere that votes Republican so I'm a part of the problem I just described (and more so because I'm a cishet white guy who doesn't have to worry about my rights being voted away).

[Bread and Circuses]

2. He should move to North Korea

[usonian]

3. I've got the perfect place for him!!!

[Keepthesoulalive]

7. It doesn't have a leather couch

[usonian]

8. Pigskin?

Asking for a friend.

[Skittles]

4. what a fucking asshole

WWJD? NOTHING these conservative MAGAt FREAKS would do.

[Bayard]

5. The Munsters?

Don't worry, JD, no one wants to live next to you either.

[synni]

6. He wouldn't mind if a sofa moved in next door

[LPBBEAR]

9. 'I want to live next to people who I have something in common with.

How about cell B in between cell A and cell C.

[Hekate]

10. Get the hell away from that pig, Usha

[Ohioboy]

11. So are we going to have rules for where people can live?

I don't want to live next to anyone that might violate my couch. Does that mean I can make laws against you JD?

[Old Crank]

12. Sounds like rents would drop

because you have more people in one house leaving other places available for rent...

[no_hypocrisy]

13. FU JD. My neighbors speak Spanish, Arabic, Farsi, and more.

And we're very supportive of one another.

[Wifes husband]

16. Agreed

I am about as white as you can get. Multi ethnic group around us are very nice. We are the old white couple living down stairs, and they check up on us. If they don't see us for awhile. Just nice people

[oasis]

14. Did Vance ever mention "undesirable populations"

when he was running for public office?
Especially with his brown spouse at his side.

[eShirl]

15. We are all humans, JD; we have so much in common if only you would see.

[JI7]

17. Aren't most Haitian people Catholics ?

With all the talk about wanting his wife to convert she will still be a non white woman . The people of Haiti being Christians doesn't make him see them as people he has something in common with and he still dehumanizes them.

[Bettie]

18. Maybe there needs to be an app

so that right wing assholes can all live in "RW asshole only" communities?

That would make other communities better for the rest of us.

[Paladin]

19. No problem, JD.

It's patently obvious that our nation currently has a surplus of ugly, brain-dead, hateful, spouse-humiliating fuckwits currently in residence. Knock yourself out.

[marked50]

20. I would suggest a jail cell could be appropriate.n/t

[IzzaNuDay]

21. Perhaps the Laz-E-Boy showroom would be appropriate

Lots of couches there!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

22. Then DON'T move next door to the Obamas then, JD! They have NOTHING in common with you!

Nor would they want you for a neighbor.

When living in Rochester, I had a neighbor for whom I had NOTHING in common with and he is a WHITE man! His TRUMP 2020 flag flew from his house for well over a year after the election before he finally took it down. He despised my late husband and I because we did not think like he did.

End of story.

[yardwork]

23. Vance is incredibly racist.

He leads with racism.

[Marthe48]

24. In humans, humanity is a common thread

vance doesn't have that. He is a meat sack without a species.

[Volaris]

25. Speaking for the holler-born again, are we JD?

[ananda]

26. I want to live around people who aren't boring and bigoted.

And I love learning from diversity.

[Ocelot II]

27. If your neighbors are human beings you have something in common with them.

A whole lot, if you'd pay attention to something besides the color of their skin or their clothing or religious beliefs.

[Mz Pip]

28. How would you know?

How do you know if you have anything in common with your neighbors if you won’t talk to them because you’ve already made up your mind based on how they look?

[Blues Heron]

29. Racist asshole

[bdamomma]

32. Yes,

he is most certainly is.

[ChicagoTeamster]

31. Hopefully they'll be fellow convicted felons

If Trump follows through with his plans for Venezuela and Vance goes along with it maybe that will be at the Hague.

[bdamomma]

33. Add

Stephen Miller to that list.

[Blue Owl]

34. (subliminal whispered voice): "Conform... Conform... Confirm..."

[walkingman]

35. Move next to a gay person, get to know them, and maybe you wouldn't be so fuckin' homophobic.

[surfered]

36. Yes, that's exactly what Jesus meant by "Love thy neighbor as thyself." ☹️

[DBoon]

37. it seems we have heard this before

[C_U_L8R]

38. How boring.

Our neighborhood is awesome because it is so diverse. And the people are nice.

Better to not live anywhere near ignorant assholes like Vance.

[Iris]

39. Um... that'd be no one. You don't even know who you are,"JD"

[republianmushroom]

40. Lets see vance, now that would include,

People on Snap
Single parent
People with addiction to drugs
Disregarding marital vows
lying to others
to post somethings that you would like have in common.

[Traildogbob]

41. JD

Ya better get your reservations, Satan’s Hood is filling up fast. See if Cheney can save you a seat.
When you are in hell you certainly will be with your peeps.
Sorry, no couches, they are very flammable.
Adolf may let you sit in his lap, being such a fine Natzeeeee.

[maxsolomon]

42. What's funny is that East Walnut Hills, the fancy area where he "lives" in Cincy

Pretty much hates his guts.

[Ping Tung]

43. Fear of the 'Other" is one o fthe main building blocks of conservatism.

Especially 'others' who don't talk good 'murkin' and come here to steal jobs from patriots who won't do them.

[madinmaryland]

45. I want to live next door to people who don't fuck couches.
