              Interesting. Out on the deck having a discussion with my bride about the crime structure in Middletown when I was growing up and how it differed from today. I wonder how much Vance knows about it since it was before his time.

                  That’s now. When I was over there it was all mobbed due to the union up so nobody really got too out of line. Now it’s largely street gang related.

                          Yes we're already long past the point of being educated that one does not have to be white to be a white supremacist. Mostly, in order not to be a white supremacist, you have to vote Democrat. It's a color-blind concept, except for that first word in "white supremacist". That's definitely a color. Other than that, color has nothing to do with it.

                                  It was all about the working men and women and how they aren’t treated fairly. I understood that better than anyone else.

                                  LOL It is amazing how someone who was born into a millionaire family, grew up in a millionaire family, boasts about how much money he has is able to identify with the working men and women better than anyone else. 555

                                    Also his book rather (in)famously made the opposite point - that they do it too themselves. Though in Trump’s defense, Vance now in his speeches makes the very opposite point that his book did so that he can blame Biden Harris. No doubt this is where Trump’s impression comes from.

                                        The idea that dysfunctional cultures disadvantage people can obviously be found in the book. And I would be surprised if bootstrap narratives to help fix that problem, have been entirely abandoned by Vance or Trump.

                                          The reason for the Vance pick, from a mainstream leftist:

                                          Link to video

                                          tl;dw - tech bros such as Elon and Peter Theil are fascist, they like Vance, and Trump wants their money.
