I read it. It was a hit job by an elitist lunatic against good people trying their best to overcome Republican attacks on upward mobility. If #HillbillyElegy had not been so offensive, it would've been a joke.

JD Vance is the Forrest Gump of American Christofascism. Part one of reviewing Communion.

How does that saying go again?

“Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Something like that.

JD Vance tells a bizarre story about a drunk woman who he says came up to him at the RNC and told him how big and handsome he is

Local man suggests jailing own boss.

Screenshot of an Aaron Rupar clip of J.D. Vance saying on Fox News: "If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer"

Of all the jobs to do around the White House, everyone felt this was the only Vance could handle without hurting himself.

Was JD Vance's book pulled from Pentagon schools? What we know

Vance's memoir "Hillbilly Elegy" has reportedly been listed among many books being reviewed over "ideology" concerns at on-base military schools.

My theory of Vance in a nutshell: he's the ultimate and arguably inevitable manifestation of the Ivy League's generations-long efforts to promote the myth of meritocracy.

Here's a brief thread🧵 to explain 1/

I’ve just watched #HillbillyElegy and that #JDVance fulla is one very confused dude. It’s basically an ad for socialised medicine, interventionist industry policy, universal free childcare and tertiary education, decent wages, decent community services and social housing.
