🇺🇲 watson :dealwithit:15. HIS GRANDPARENTS WERE DEMOCRATS
Like many in the Rust Belt of the late 20th century, Mr. Vance’s grandparents were pro-union Democrats.
Mr. Vance describes their attitude toward politics in “Hillbilly Elegy,” writing, “All politicians might be crooks, but if there were any exceptions, they were undoubtedly members of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal coalition.”
Mr. Vance said the exception was 1984, when his grandfather voted for President Ronald Reagan.
