J.D. Vance's "Anti-Woke" Stance Draws Conservative Support

Sen. J.D. Vance, Trump's running mate, faces criticism from the media for his conservative views on social issues. However, his "anti-woke" stance is gaining traction among social conservatives.

Vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance has come under fire from some in the media for his conservative views on social issues, with the Washington Post painting him as an "anti-woke" warrior. However, Vance's stance has resonated with social conservatives on social media, who see it as an endorsement of their values.

The Post's article, titled "Leaked memo shows J.D. Vance's anti-woke ideology on foreign affairs," detailed how Vance would block the confirmation of State Department nominees who were perceived as proponents of radical left ideologies. This article has energized conservative support for Vance, with many seeing it as a sign of his commitment to their values.

"The Washington Post didn't have to sell J.D. Vance to me like this, because I already liked him before they got these leaked memos showing how truly based he is," conservative journalist Ian Miles Cheong remarked on social media.

Hudson's article described how Vance has become known as an obstacle to the confirmation of career ambassadors in the Senate due to his concerns about their views on hot-button social issues such as gay and lesbian rights, gender transition care, and diversity hiring practices. Those who revealed their left-wing bent in their answers to Vance's questionnaire were held up for more than a year in attaining their positions.

Hudson obtained a copy of the questionnaire and shared some of the specific questions, such as whether would-be ambassadors would increase the number of gender-neutral bathrooms in U.S. embassies, boost resources for gender dysphoria and gender transition care, and raise the Progress flag during regional Pride celebrations.

Vance's sarcastic remark on social media, "They got me," only further fueled the mockery and support for his anti-woke stance. New York Post reporter Lydia Moynihan joked that the Post's report was not the bombshell they had hoped for, while conservative commentator Joey Mannarino thanked Vance for standing against "WOKE."

Conservative strategist Chuck Callesto wrote, "It's time to implement this in the United States! Vance 2028 - We support you!"

Vance's conservative stance has drawn criticism from some, but it has also solidified his support among social conservatives who see him as a defender of their values. The Washington Post's article may have intended to portray Vance as extreme, but it has inadvertently boosted his appeal to his base, demonstrating the growing influence of conservative voices in American politics.
