My wise son said the other day, “JD Vance is the embodiment of identity politics the Right claims to hate about the Left.”
True, but disingenuous— like claiming to be a pizza with only a crust and then blasting all the pizzas for being pizzas in an oven.
It’s too bad, really, because Hillbilly Elegy could have been used to help people (which I originally thought was its purpose), not exploit them.
