“In the essay, (VP) Vance said many Americans turned to Trump as a “pain reliever” in the midst of a social crisis in which mounting distrust in the government and economic decline were coming to a head. He invoked the phrase “cultural heroin” to describe Trump’s political appeal at the time – and said his supporters would eventually realize he was not the answer to their problems.” Guardian UK. Ironic that all of the MAGA addicts are ex-democrats!
“Hillbilly Elegy follows J.D. Vance from a turbulent childhood in Ohio steel country, marked by his mother’s addiction and his grandparents’ volatile refuge, to a Marine Corps stint and Yale Law. Along the way, he reflects on the family bonds, scars, and grit that shaped his unlikely rise.” Goodreads. It would appear that Vance knows an addict when he sees one!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
