Nantucket, Massachusetts, recently hosted a fundraiser featuring JD Vance, attracting protests. The event paired with significant expenses drew criticism for follow-ups to his healthcare-related vote impacting millions. Protest organizer Amanda McGonigle emphasized community and joy among demonstrators against Vance, reinforcing opposition to his perceived shortcomings. Additionally, Vance's controversial remarks about 'childless cat ladies' spurred the creation of the @catsonacouch meme account, highlighting grievances through humor and satire surrounding his public persona.
"It was just kind of a day of good trouble on the island to make sure that JD Vance doesn't know a second of peace," Amanda McGonigle, the protest's organizer and creator of @catsonacouch, told Jezebel.
"Nothing Vance does is good, but his pit stop on Nantucket was a particularly bad look. The RNC fundraising dinner each couple $100,000, an awful follow-up to the president's tie-breaking vote that jeopardized healthcare access for millions earlier this month."
"It was just really joyful, it was great to be around like-minded people and remind ourselves that there is community with one another, to get through this fucking shit-show that's happening right now."
"... the internet went wild with a totally fabricated rumor about JD Vance having sex with his couch..."
