    1. In what way, you might ask, is Paul Krugman a 'weird cat lady." The metaphor itself is weird but says something about Vance's politics.https://twitter.com/JDVance1/status/1419424523347238914 …

    Paul Krugman is one of many weird cat ladies who have too much power in our country. We should change this. https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/1419376063227088898 …

        2. The trope of the cat owning spinster goes back to Middle Ages (witches etc), gathering an ideological edge in response to feminism (here's a cartoon from 1900 along that line.pic.twitter.com/4I8ecejBo6

        3. But more recently, a mix of incels and trads (with, of course some overlap) have revived "cat lady" as an ideological insult. That's the crowd Vance is aiming or.

        And it's a very childish way to refer to a Nobel Laureate. Krugman comments in an area where he unquestionably has expertise.
