J.D. Vance, "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis"

[@UOPNancy]

Sooo many trolls here besmirching a great man. Vice President JD Vance! A true American dream! ❤🎉

[@Ryno-v9k]

Jd might be able to voice the real experience of the 'forgotten people' better than anyone else, through his own direct experiences

[@oberfrange]

I'm not from the US but from Germany. Read his book in English and I found it to be a good read. The German version is no longer available in this country. Oh holy democracy. JD sounds like a reasonable man in this Podcast.

[@dinauhls6231]

God bless you J D and your family this is a wonderful story and a good example for all the people it mirrors my life in Peru before I came to the USA !

[@BS-dq1kz]

I like him. Some Kentuckians are upset but as a Southeastern Kentuckian myself, now living in Ga, he’s 100% right concerning everything he says.

[@jrivera6343]

Why are they upset?

[@DanielWebster-pp7xi]

I would like to remind people who are saying he flipped over night his flip was over the course of about five years and just remember Ronald was extremely liberal (from a conservative perspective) back in 1940s and 50s and wasn't Republican till 1962

[@Ryno-v9k]

He is an honest person. Now I respect him also as a political candidate. He is trying to be fair in his reflections on his own life and the experiences of people, beyond the stereotypes and noise in our society today. Wish he just didn't join up with Trump though. He is a fine political representative anyhow

[@curtisstafford9381]

J. D. Vance is a perfect example of how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. His story is such a positive example.

[@marthawissmann8268]

I tried to find the movie on KZbin. What I found was a retelling of the events of the story but more importantly was a disclaimer in the beginning that the story was fiction and was created in the imagination of the author and bares no resemblance to persons or events. However people and this show call it a memoir?.

[@jrivera6343]

And who wrote the disclaimer?

[@Aloneagainofcourse]

He ran out on his family and mooched off his grandmother. He could have stayed and helped his mother and community.

[@dorothyryan6539]

Really? A child should give up their childhood so they can act like the adult? Seems you haven’t read his book. Who would ever expect a child to be the supporting “adult” to a drug addicted adult dragging strangers into his life.

JD seems like a good kid with a rough past but needs to see red flags from father figures in his life that he looks up to. Sadly the father figure in his life will take advantage of him for his own gain and will leave him standing out in the rain

[@ralphlee6386]

Tell me - how far did you make it in the USMC?

[@JarheadCrayonEater]

@@ralphlee6386, I served from 1999-2007, after being told by BUMED that I couldn't in 1995 due to medication I took in 1980 when I was 3. I'm a 9/11 Marine, that deployed after, and fucking loved it! It's not certain what you meant by your comment, but it does look like you're taking Vance's side. I don't know shit about Vance, and didn't even know about him until the Trump announcement. I'm voting Trump, BTW. Also, I just learned that he served in the Marines. The only reason I'm here is because I was watching a preview of Hillbilly Elegy and then read the Wikipedia post about him, landing me here. Look, I'm not trying to start shit, but I'm not sure we should be backing Vance right after the announcement. After hearing that he is a Marine and said what he did about Trump years ago, that pissed me off! Made it sound like he joined after 9/11 for political brownie points! Just like Tulsi Gabbard did. I've hated her from day one, but some have latched onto here. Tulsi could have joined before 9/11, but waited a few years, until it was politically expedient for her. Yeah, I'm not yet on board with this Vance guy, by a long shot. So, maybe you should tone down the bullshit until we know what he's really all about? BTW, when did you join and how far did you make it in the USMC? USMC 1999-2007

J. D. Vance is one of President's Trump's greatest political blunders, and the way things are shaking out, it could play a major role in President Trump losing an otherwise easy contest, by the greatest margin in the history of our nation.

[@jontpt]

@@oscarwindham6016 let us hope and pray!

[@bizzwoofer]

That's not true. It's a good, solid choice for many reasons. He's normal, and will be viewed by many as dependable. He plays well in the blue collar/rust belt. He's from the Senate, so will be instrumental in working with Senate Republicans and Congressmen to pass important legislation. Those saying he's a "bad pick" are sorely mistaken.

[@jontpt]

@@bizzwoofer Anything and anyone who helps Trump lose is a terrific pick! My heartiest endorsement!

[@nicholaslogan6840]

@@bizzwoofer I think the reason people are saying he's a 'bad pick' is because he doesn't broaden Trump's appeal to immigrants, black people, women, or LGBT+ groups, or people that prioritize the needs of these groups. Whereas now the opponent is a prospective first female President, something many Americans have been looking forward to for a long time.

[@oscarwindham6016]

@@bizzwoofer It is true. J. D. Vance represents President Trump cashing in, instead of him choosing Tulsi Gabbard who would have been him trying to unite our nation, and taking the path toward having a fair distribution of our nation's unlimited wealth. Now, he could lose everything.
