"#Vance’s willingness to radically revise and overwrite the lessons of his life story is by now a well-documented reflex; what’s more pivotal to his odyssey through public life is the voyeuristic liberal fascination with the tale of heroic uplift he spun in his reputation-making memoir."

"#Kennedy’s infamous #antivax allegiances are also a telltale symptom of mogul brain—an ironclad conviction formed principally out of the delusive gut instincts of a powerful Type A male personality who commands automatic deference in a world where no one seriously questions his beliefs and pronouncements, no matter how objectively dangerous and daft they may be." - #ChrisLehmann

"#Vance’s oration is an important phase in the ongoing evolution of right-wing #Trumpism.

"Everything about the breakout appeal of #RichMenNorthOfRichmond is steeped in an evangelical culture of bellicose ideological confrontation [..] If any howl of backlash-themed provocation issues from a Southern-branded bard like Anthony or Aldean, it’s automatically stamped as 'authentic' as it moves down the culture-trust production line."

"In a juster, saner world, a Google search for the term 'racist show trial' would promptly yield footage of the despicable vote in the #GOP-led #Tennessee legislature to expel two Black members for the offense of doing their jobs: using their position to advocate for desperately needed #GunControl legislation."
