“JD Vance’s slick performance can’t hide the danger of another Trump presidency”
—The Guardian

“You promised not to fact-check here,”
One would-be VP shouted.
“Your bias now is all too clear,
Which my side never doubted.

A fabulist can’t catch a break
(Though not for lack of trying),
And yet you’ve made a big mistake—
They love me more for lying!

We know our voters well, you see;
We’re quick to turn the tables.
You think they want veracity?
They much prefer our fables.
