Summary

As the election looms, we take a look at Hillbilly Elegy (shitty book and shitty movie), the 'memoir' of America's fuhrer-in-waiting, weirdo venture capitalist, plutocrat fascist misogynist, Trump's pet and Thiel's puppet, J.D. Vance, in which he slathers on the hillbillyface in a grotesque and offensive performance of working class minstrelsy to the rapturous applause of centrist liberals... at least until he decided that principles were bad for his career ambitions and suddenly realised that Trump wasn't the American Hitler after all. (He is.)
