Vice President JD Vance was met with hundreds of pro-Ukraine protesters while visiting a Vermont ski resort on Saturday, following his public dust up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House.

Vance and his family, on a trip to Sugarbush Resort, were greeted by the outraged protesters lining the snow-covered streets of the small Vermont town of Waitsfield.

Protestors displayed signs that labeled Vance a “national disgrace,” accused him of being a “traitor” and encouraged the family to “go ski in Russia.”

Yep, but it's The New York Post, so to have something other than awful people commenting would be out of character.

I've stopped reading those. I might have put myself in a bubble, but I prefer a bubble over a heart attack because of rage bait comments from the antisocial dregs of society.

Every time I dare to read those comments, I end up regretting it. Can you please tell me what is wrong with those people? I really don’t like thinking that people are hopeless and the majority is probably not. But i need help dealing with those.

I wish I knew. All I can think of is that they've fallen into the alt-right pipeline and are now living in some alternative fact land, and there are people who lack empathy, who think that having empathy is a weakness.
