Some choice quotes from Vance:
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole … or that he’s America’s Hitler”. “I’m a ‘never Trump’ guy. I never liked him.” “My god what an idiot.” “I find him reprehensible.”
Trump don’t care. He kissed the ring and promised to do a Jan 6th for him. He’s in.
This is a pipe dream but I want Hillbilly Elegy brought up as often as possible. There is a very small chance that Vance could lose Appalachia for Trump.
Why would Hillbilly Elegy have that effect?
The book is largely considered inaccurate, condescending, and insulting around these parts.
I would like to know more because I have some good friends in Appalachia (Eastern Kentucky). Can you elaborate? What about it is inaccurate, condescending, and insulting?
Considering how big a fan of Hitler Trump is, as well as how big an idiot he is… theres a non-zero chance that he heard the Hitler comparison and took it as a compliment.
Like, it was probably the only question, right? He thought he had a loyal stooge in Pence, but the little fucker proved to have just enough of a spine to, ya know, do his job. Gotta make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Let’s say Trump wins 2024 and 2028 rolls around and
a young Democratic challengerCyber-Biden wins in a landslide. Does anyone see any scenario where Vance certifies the election results? They will be itching for an excuse to create a constitution crisis.
