Oh But Jim, you say, what he's done sexually is none of our business and it's rude to shame him!
This is something we're all gonna have to remember in the days ahead: civil society is based on a shared set of rules that we all agree to.
For example, we all agree that however you want to do sexytime is nobody else's business, and you deserve privacy and not to be judged for whatever it is you like. Including fucking the couch.

But a fundamental rule of etiquette is that if a person chooses to rip up that social contract and violate those shared rules, you no longer have *any obligation* to treat them according to those rules. You do not, in fact, have to tolerate the intolerant. Etiquette is very clear about this. #USPol #Couch

If you're a normal person who wants to throw some xtube videos on the TV and fuck your couch cushions, that's nobody's business and people better shut up about it.
BUT if you've made a career out of giving speeches and holding rallies and selling books saying one kind of sexytime is good and moral and all other kinds are evil and bad and wrong, and are working to pass laws to that effect, all bets are off.

The very second you start to inject yourself and your political movement into what other consenting adults decide to do with their sexy bits, and moralize and shame and legislate against them, you have forfeited any right to your own sexual privacy.
Fucking a couch? None of my business.
Fucking a couch while you're speechifying about the DEPRAVED PERVERTS who do not have PROCREATION SEX? My dude, you're toast.

Remember that, friends. You are not required by etiquette to extend courtesy and understanding to those who are trying to shame and demonize and mistreat you. In fact, the proper etiquette response is to embarrass and shame them back. That's how we enforce the social contract.
J. D. #Vance fucked a couch, which would be ok if he wasn't out there shaming and demonizing women and gays. But he is. So shame him.

@andthisismrspeacock This is awesome unpacking of our conditioning into #AbuseCulture! That weβve been conditioned to be civil to people who refuse to be civil themselves. We are under no obligation!

@andthisismrspeacock But also itβs ok to fuck a couch if youβre not a hypocrite and itβs your own couch and you clean up after or use a latex glove π
@courtcan It seems like such a simple thing, right?! If you decide to shred the rules of being polite and caring and respectful to those around you, we don't have to keep playing by those rules toward you! But some people really don't get it.
Iβm glad people are having fun with this, but itβs absolutely fake. the Snopes thing aside, it doesnβt make any sense in this passage. itβs clearly a joke.
@skykiss @Dhmspector I was prepared for a lot of weird shit in my life but I have to admit βhaving a book written by vice presidential candidate mentioning both the high school I graduated from (Edgewood) and couch fucking on the same page" was not on my bingo card.

(So to speak.)
Now people are saying of Vance
His sofa looked good for a chance
He gave it his love
With an inverted glove
The best he could do for romance
Imagine being his media team right now and having to ensure he never does an interview from a couch.
