    JD vance still has the most blatantly unhinged, racist political ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3qYJoSV0lI. He's gonna do great.

      He is unironically a self-hating redneck who went to an Ivy League university.

        never read it but i know libs glomed onto that book to justify their hate of all rural people i think?

        so is he basically just another DeSantis type or does he have actual charisma?

          Yes, he is DeSantis but more boring. More similar to Mike Johnson, really. Zero charisma except for rich donor types, who love him.

    I know some libs that are definitely gonna pretend that they didn't think Vance was a genius political philosopher...and they're also not gonna apologize for acting like I was insane when I pointed out that it's really stupid to blame poor people for social conditions obviously created by rich people.

      The popularity of Hillbilly Elegy made a lot more sense when i realized ot was just a book aboit how much Vance hates his mom and Rsutbelt hicks. No wonder suburban liberals ate that shit up.
