I grew up in East Tennessee...with actual hillbillies and rednecks. JD Vance is a fake and an asshole.
His book was garbage.

Vance’s form of far-right politics is so ominous because it responds in a primal, perverted way to something actual. We are caught under a heap of wreckage, an accumulation of social and historical trauma that we are largely without means of getting out of. Millions are dead, and millions more permanently sick, from a pandemic that everyone now pretends didn’t happen, and even more vigorously pretends is not still happening.
It's funny how someone who took every advantage of a liberal education now wants to make life so much worse for those people he claims are his roots.
