JD Vance Faces Backlash Over Thanksgiving Meme

On Thanksgiving, Vice President-elect JD Vance stirred controversy by posting a meme depicting himself as Donald Trump's 'wife' in a parody of Norman Rockwell's 'Freedom From Want'. The meme featured Vance's head superimposed on the matriarch in the iconic painting, with Trump portrayed as the patriarch holding an electoral map instead of a turkey. This post was met with widespread ridicule from liberals and progressives, who interpreted it as a sign of Vance's submissive relationship with Trump. Critics pointed out the absurdity of the electoral map and noted how Vance's portrayal could be seen as him adopting a 'trad wife' role. While Vance initially shared a message of gratitude for Thanksgiving, the meme overshadowed his sentiments, leading to a wave of mockery across social media. Observers highlighted the bizarre nature of the meme, suggesting it reflects poorly on Vance's public persona and political ambitions.
