That's a product typically associated with someone who spends their evenings in front of a screen with either a keyboard or console in hand.

Sorry dude, how would Diet Mt. Dew seem racist? I grew up when it was still Kickapoo Joy Juice...

On edit - for you youngsters, that's a L'l Abner reference. Very culturally incorrect. Along with Pogo, which I loved even more as I became politically aware.
JD isn't old enough to remember when that brand was turned into Mt. Dew, unless his grandma told him about when it tasted better and had more of a kick.

Even his tangent comments reveal he is full of it. In reality, he is insulting the campaign’s own supporters by making the assumption that they drink Mountain Dew and will relate to him drinking it too. He said that because he thinks it’s lowbrow and he wants them to think he is like them.
J.D. Vance’s estimated net worth is $5,000,000. That seems a conservative estimate to me.

and minorities have all the advantages, Democrats shower them with free stuff with hard-working white people's taxes.

By drinking Mountain Dew he will seen as rural white and stereotyped as racist when it's really the liberals who are the racists. Or, you know, something like that. It's confusing.

Mountain Dew ( or Kickapo Joy Juice ) was always sort of a "hillbilly drink" when I was a kid. Associated intentionally with back woods of the Appalachian mountains... and associated with NASCAR ( of course NASCAR started as contests between moonshine drivers in the back woods too ). Almost entirely white people ( poor white trash is what we used to call them ). Very racist if you were of person of color that "didn't know your place" or you didn't like to be called "boy". Haven't been around any of those people or NASCAR events or such for nearly 50 years now, so that might all have changed today.

The only thing I will say about Mountain Dew is... DIET Mountain Dew? Seriously... ewwwww. That shit is horrible.

I will always think of him as a dolt, but he sure made a positive difference there, so I’ll give him some major props for that.

And Vance has said would’ve grabbed the monkey wrench and thrown it right in, letting the House appoint Trump as dictator. So, against all expectations, Vance actually does make Quayle look like a statesman!
