Of course, but that wasn’t the point.

The point in question was that JD Vance very likely does not believe this bullshit, irrespective of what his followers believe or do

that wasn’t the point.

But what is your point? You've contributed nothing to this conversation. I find your comments vapid and annoying.

you said:

I'm not saying JD is above lying to his followers and faking faith. But I am saying that I don't think he's smart enough to do that and he's probably 100% serious.

And I pointed out that being a Yale Law graduate and was brought into the fold by Peter Thiel himself.

So my point, to refute your original one: JD Vance is a liar who does not believe this crap. Regardless of what others believe. That is the whole of my argument.

The personal attacks are not necessary.
