Might be an unpopular opinion While JD has said plenty of horrible things, this reads more like someone relating how they felt in the moment than reciting what was actually said. I'm sure most parents have felt this way at some point. We don't need to make this mole hill into a mountain. There's already a whole mountain range of his shit that's actually egregious.
I'm conflicted.
I feel that the assessment you made is accurate.
But, Context matters. and in this case he made this comment that shows him being annoyed as a dad after going on the record about how useless people without kids are and calling childless women crazy cat ladies.
It just reeks to me of him being jealous of people who don't have kids and/or him regretting being a parent?
Idk. I'm not sold on my take. I guess good for him for being in the kids life in a significant way, but again I don't like the framing of his anti family stances with complaining about being a parent. Pick a side lol
Perhaps. I don't think there's much here to substantiate that reading though, even with the context. I'd want a bit more evidence if I were to incorporate that into my appraisal of him.
You can judge someone to be morally repugnant without interpreting everything they say/do as an extension of the things that make them repugnant. It doesn't lessen the repugnance.
This is all true. Like I said, I wasn't sold on the take I gave (which was a gut take) from the logical side. I think your point about wanting more evidence is the best takeaway. Shady vance is the guy you can just give rope to and he'll hang himself.
