Vance did come from a troubled family. His mother was – like so many Americans, whether they’re poor, middle class or rich – addicted to painkillers. In the book, Vance searches for an explanation for his traumatic relationship with his mother, before hitting on the perfect explanation: His mother’s addiction was a consequence of the fact that her parents were “hillbillies.”
The reality – one that Vance only subtly acknowledges in his memoir – is that he is not poor. Nor is he a hillbilly. He grew up firmly in Ohio’s middle class.
It works on trump, because he doesn't know hillbillies.
The hillbillies like trump, because he matches their idea of a powerful smart business man
But picking Vance to cater to them is fucking stupid. You can't fool an actual hillbilly with a fake hillbilly. Trump ironically would have been better off doubling down and getting one of his kids as VP.
Vance also holds up his grandparents - which if you look at the circumstances of their marriage is uhhhhh on brand for the GQP these days - as the model relationship, while trashing his single mother struggling with addiction the whole book.
To be fair, his mother raised a piece of shit
If you ask him he carved his own shitty path lol
vance wrote an entire book blaming hillbillies for their own generations-long problems and not bootstrapsing themselves out of poverty (like he did), and is now trying to 100% blame "biden's america" for those same generations-long problems
I've always referred to the town I come from as a toothless hillbilly meth town. However, I guess I should probably replace the word hillbilly with redneck because, while parts of my family definitely descended from the hills in Appalachia, we were just dirt poor rural folks in Texas.
“Poornogrophy” wtfff I hope this doesn’t catch on
Sounds more like videos for scat fetishists than a political term.
I read "cat fetishes" and thought "no, that'd be purrnography"
"I'd like some purrnography please"
"Sir for the last time stop interrupting our UN meetings"
Terrible title. Absolutely dreadful stuff.
That slang doesn't even make sense what
