The far-left fascists a variety They've finally figured out how Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance outsmarted the left-wing media and Hollywood elite.
This is something I've enjoyed seeing since Vance ran for the US Senate as a Trump Republican two years ago. Since then, I've been waiting and waiting for someone in Hollywood to say something about it, not sure if they ever will because doing so is an admission of how badly this “hillbilly” outfoxed a group of elites that look sophisticated.
But here it is at last, a confession we should all rejoice:
Unlike many of the books published before someone's political candidacy, such as Barack Obama's 2007 “The Audacity of Hope” or Kamala Harris' 2019 “The Truths We Hold,” “Hillbilly Elegy” was not written for the readers. of Vance's political persuasion. Rather, it served to explain to liberals why Trump would be elected that fall, inspiring waves of parachute journalism as reporters rushed into these communities to make sense of the strange turn national politics was taking.
…
It was this dimension of Vance's narrative that clearly appealed to director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer, both self-proclaimed liberals, who perhaps created a monster by legitimizing his origin story, just as the producer of ” The Apprentice,” Mark Burnett, giving Trump a reality TV lead in 2004.
Hollywood loves a Horatio Alger story, and Vance's do-gooding poor kid arc fits Howard and Grazer's sweet spot perfectly. By treating the book the way “Cinderella Man” and “American Gangster” had, the Imagine Entertainment duo contributed to the myth-making that got Vance elected to the U.S. Senate in 2022, even though they missed what “Hillbilly Elegy” was really about. In the book, Vance used his personal experience (an upbringing that seemed the opposite of Trump's) to explain the disconnect between Middle America and the coastal elites… to the coastal elites.
This is what happened…
Vance pens He chose Hillbilly. A corporate media still in shock over Donald Trump's 2016 presidential victory decision He chose Hillbilly will help them find out who these exotic people from MAGA are. What followed was the millionth example of herd journalism, as they all dazzled the memoirs, but not with a sense of humility or open-hearted humanity. Instead, they stayed true to the horrible people they are and did so in the most condescending way, like 19th century British colonialists studying a savage tribe of African headhunters.
But the key—and this is important—the key to the media and Hollywood elites to validate who they are was to “civilize” the tribal leader, in this case JD Vance. So…

As they have managed to do with most everything else, the corporate media and Hollywood presented Vance with a lavish banquet of wealth, acceptance, status and access. They did He chose Hillbilly a bestseller
They did He chose Hillbilly in a great movie directed by an Oscar winner.
They made Vance a thought leader on their news and current affairs programs.
And along the way, Vance increased his public profile, his bank account and his name recognition.

The only price for a lifetime membership? You must become one of us.
And then Vance took all their awards and gifts, turned around, and shoved them up their collective asses to become the number two man in the movement they hate the most: MAGA.

PS: We are only four days away from the near-assassination of Donald Trump, and variety he's already describing Vance as a “monster.” Isn't there a moral obligation to kill monsters? If it's here variety he knows variety is an assassin who lasers his sights on the next target. When leftists don't get their way, the next step is always violence and murder.
