I first saw Vance as an opportunist but now I'm also seeing the "conversion" based on grievance as you wrote about. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic grade school and high school before I decided that I didn't want to be part of an organization that viewed women as second class citizens. This was later reinforced by the pedophiles (and the cover up), and the treatment of the LGBTQ+ and trans communities. Apparently God doesn't love everyone equally. The "evangelical" Catholics (and other evangelical denominations) are misogynists and use their religion to justify their hatred. Every job that Vance has ever had after graduating from law school was because of Thiel's support. Vance has never gotten a job based on his own merits. Maybe that's also part of the grievance. I believe that Trump choose him because he's a white male, and because Trump wants to be closer to Thiel's money. With Trump it all ultimately comes down to money. Another important aspect, and part of the grievance, is that Trump-Vance is the most anti-women ticket in modern history. The majority of women are anti-Trump and now, with Vance and Project 2025, I believe that number is growing. There are more registered women voters than men. Never underestimate women.
