WaPo
Vance is the meme of the moment, a canvas for internet partisans and trolls to project whatever they want to see. Over the past months, the left has reshaped him into a pouty, overstuffed cherub intended to symbolize a tantrum-throwing toddler. Meanwhile, the right has chiseled him into a hardened nationalist icon. His image bends and warps, remixed to fit the worldview of whoever’s wielding the Photoshop tools.
“This is a bit of a Rorschach test for politics in general,” said Jamie Cohen, an assistant professor of media studies at New York’s Queens College. “The MAGA right sees Vance as becoming torchbearer of the movement. The left sees him as a potential shill for whatever he needs to do to make himself more politically usable. And that’s how you get all these different remixes.” More
Like the good sport he is, Vance has reacted positively to the dumb meme. Here

SNIP: And now, the good memes.
One of the main reasons the left hates JD is that he has the appearance of a strong confident and dangerous alpha male, fear the beard. On their side The only members that have beards are the women.
From his beginnings in poverty, to the US Marines, to a devoted father & husband, US Senator and now VP, and this is the best criticism the Left can do? Methinks JD is winning …
That Captain America one is fit for framing.

I was thinking most of the women on the left were beards themselves.

Rich T – 0bama has a beard, it’s called Michelle.
Vance is taking flak because he’s over the target.
They won’t be laughing at the end of his second term in January 2037.
JD did well in the Marines. Trump has given his orders and JD is making it happen while blowing off criticism.
‘and dangerous alpha male”
When I first read that comment my immediate reaction was, Oh Palease. However, I’ve recently been exposed to some Libtard true believers that are so emasculated this might actually be the case. The bravest of the bunch actually have breasts. It’s a strange new world for guys like me. The civil/cultural wars going to be a cake walk. Vance was on a walk with his three year old daughter yesterday. They were verbally attacked by three Pro Palestinian individuals. He was forced to verbally engage them. He did a pretty good job embarrassing the fuck out of them. His three year old daughter was scared and upset. How do three pro Palestinian protesters get that close to the Vice President of the United States? Dear Secret Service, WTF? Mean while Kash Patel is requesting a security detail THAT IS NOT FBI. We are 7 or 8 weeks into the new administration and the deep state is just starting to fight back. Not good.
JD Vance is everything Tim Walz isn’t.
Vice President Vance is becoming an American folk hero. The left hate heroes who represent conservative values. The left’s outlandish, distorted JD Vance memes reflect their frustration about the fact he’s so popular with many Americans. The conservative memes are great, btw.
