When it comes to knowing whether that person is great to have a beer with, JD Vance knows how to call the shots, given his unapologetic heartland America background. “Common man” figureheads Peter Thiel and Elon Musk knew that they hit the jackpot when JD Vance wholeheartedly explained the correlation between Mountain Dew and racism during a high-energy event last Monday.

But even last year, JD Vance proved that he was presidential material after answering the “beer question”, during an unspecified event in 2023 where he spoke in defence of the QAnon Shaman, whose real name is Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley.

x JD Vance weighs in on famous Jan 6 participant "The QAnon Shaman" in a 2023 speech:

And there was a segment, I believe it was on The Tucker Carlson Show, of this guy who was sentenced to four years in prison for literally walking around the Capitol… you know, it was the crazy guy with like the bullhorns, you know who I’m talking about? He looked like he’d be a fun guy to have a beer with, right? The Q Shaman [sic] is what they called this guy, right? Now I was asked after I saw the video, “Well, you know, wasn’t it inappropriate to show the video?” I said, “Look. This guy may have broken the law, I don’t know, but he sure as heck should not be spending four years in prison. Nothing they showed on video would make me think this guy should be going to prison for four years.

JD Vance truly is a decisive leader. With him, you know where he stands.

In the photo, which Vance tweeted on September 11, 2021 without comment, the Hillbilly Elegy author is seen holding his infant child while looking at a table displaying several revolvers of various calibers. One vendor at a nearby table is seen sitting next to framed Nazi memorabilia, including a flag bearing a swastika, and two different Nazi war ensigns known as "Reichskriegsflagge" and a variety of Nazi war medals. One of the guns on the table Vance is standing over is a Luger pistol commonly used by Nazi soldiers during World War II.

Well, the GOP may not be able to beat numerous allegations of Nazism within the party.
