(Look, I'm not trying to give you a hard time if you shared that essay; it's quite good if what you're examining is the liberal obsession with finding a "responsible conservative" so they don't have to admit that conservatism is just fascism in a state of having to hide its intentions. It's a GOOD essay about that. But it's not why liberals in the ruling classes bent over backwards to make JD Vance a thing, nor is it why fascist TechBros adopted him. He's a class traitor, is why.)
