  3. "The narrator of #HillbillyElegy doesn’t sound like someone who’s intending to run for office – otherwise, presumably, #Vance would have cut all those sentences about the laziness of poor white people and added some about being called to public service. [..] The billionaire investor #PeterThiel [..] doesn’t appear in the book, though he’s listed in the acknowledgments."

  9. "#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."

  14. ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ Director Ron Howard Is ‘Concerned’ About Trump-Vance Rhetoric: ‘We Gotta Get Out and Vote — for Whomever, but Be Thoughtful’

  15. 👀And though #Vance’s journey from rural #poverty to #SiliconValley to the halls of #Congress ought to make him an adept code-switcher—a scene in the movie version of his memoir #HillbillyElegy finds him studying the right way to say the word syrup—it seems as if he’s lost the ability to #hear how he #sounds to people #outside it all. How can you put yourself in an #audience’s shoes when your #politics is rooted in a radical #rejection of #empathy itself?

    Em see rup.

  16. "So eager were critics and pundits to find an apologist for the White working class who was not blatantly racist that they overlooked #Vance’s fatuousness, his willingness to play up his hokeyness for the benefit of his liberal audience and the ultimate banality of his message."

  20. This episode argues that #HillbillyElegy was popular among the elite establishment cause his argument is mostly that it's their own damn fault. "These deplorables can't be helped by the govt and now one of their own admits it. Tell everyone, cut the programs and our taxes."

    And #JDVance also paints himself as desperate for a father figure. A kid who became whoever mom's new boyfriend would like to spend time with. One could see how #Trump is just the next guy in line.

  21. Remember that slimy, racist, sexist, LGBTI-hating GOP senator, Rick Santorum? And, how activist Dan Savage, coined a neologism is his honour that's become what people first think of when they hear Santorum's name? The phenomenon was known as "Santorum's Google problem".
    That was all the way back in 2003, and the Internet wasn't quite what it was compared with today.

    Today, there are billions more people on the Internet, Google has a monopoly on online search, memes travel far and wide at the speed of light, and information in our news-cycle is amplified and accelerated by AI.

    If you're searching for delight in this 2024 election circus, J.D. Vance has cemented his place in people's minds for all of history as the Couch Fucker.

  22. I know we're all gushing over Harris' pick of VP, not that other guy, but I read #HillbillyElegy by #JDVance. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed it, not because I think Vance is a great guy with great ideas (anyone who'd associate with Trump has clearly lost touch with reality, if they ever had it), but because it's a perfectly enjoyable story with insights into the minds and problems of a certain subset of American society (not necessarily insights Vance himself would agree with).

  23. I just watched #HillbillyElegy on #Netflix, and I'm a little confused. All this guy's major problems would have literally been solved by better access to healthcare and education, so why did he become a #MAGA Republican?

    Even in the picture he painted of himself, #JDVance was kind of a POS. I don't get it. 🤷‍♂️

  24. Excellent piece about #JDVance, #MentalHealth, #Eugenics, and the Pocahontas Fuel Company.

    "Of his own mental health, he says he tried counseling once but 'it was just too weird.' . . . . One of the most sadly ironic aspects of Vance’s book, and by default Howard’s film, is the link between the mental health crises that impact his family and the eugenics movement that Vance hints at favoring."

  25. #JDVance's view of #Appalachia has been widely criticized, especially by people who live there. Such portrayals have a long history, from Protestant missionaries looking to "uplift" the region to strengthen white superiority after the Civil War, to promoters of Shenandoah National Park, who argued that the residents were so deprived that removal was the only option. They, like Vance, used Appalachia for their own purposes.

    FWIW, #tuberville actually lives in #florida . And #JDVance is a city boy who tries to act rural per his #HillbillyElegy fantasies.
