Vice President JD Vance was met with hundreds of pro-Ukraine protesters while visiting a Vermont ski resort on Saturday, following his public dust up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House.
Vance and his family, on a trip to Sugarbush Resort, were greeted by the outraged protesters lining the snow-covered streets of the small Vermont town of Waitsfield.
Protestors displayed signs that labeled Vance a “national disgrace,” accused him of being a “traitor” and encouraged the family to “go ski in Russia.”
Kind of but not really relevant: As someone from an authoritarian state where you don’t really get to protest, I’d always wondered just how the whole protesting thing is supposed to work. Like you go out, hold some signs and chant some slogans and then politicians just listen to you??? Is that how democracy works??? In the last few years as I grew to understand how all that stuff works I learned the answer to that question, but I think many Westerners and Americans specifically really need to start thinking once about how what they’re doing is supposed to lead to results.
This was 100% relevant to what i’m trying to say, you just said it better than I could.
