He's learned much from his puppet master Peter Thiel about how to grift his way up the social and political ladders.

[lolzerz]

Maybe he accepted so he can slowly p*ison his coffee 🤞🏻
He looks like trump jr tho

[daredevilwolf]

well clearly that won't make the trump sons spiral into depression

He's responsible for the downturn in Amy Adams' career. He must be dealt with.

[recognitions]

Amy did that to herself tbh

[vanhrh]

Is that why she's trending on Twitter? I saw her name on the trending list but didn't click it. Let me go look.

[syvlie0o0]

That's how I found about about this, lmao

Vance’s small rural town in Ohio, Middletown, isn’t even rural.

Its population is over 50k.

His hillbilly schtick was a lie from the jump. #whiteruralinterloper

Also fuck Ron Howard for making that movie despite everyone knowing at the time the entire book was bullshit attention-seeking.
eta I just remembered I fell for the grift when the book came out and I def own it on Audible. And I read it. Even before he was a political social climber, I gave it two stars and said "I don't have any time for a guy claiming to be a hillbilly (he's not, let's be honest) deriding the plight of the working poor and saying payday loans are good."

[angriest_girl]

I bought it when it first came out because I thought for some reason it was going to be sympathetic to the poor. I never got around to reading it and then I heard what it was really about and learned more and more about him (unwillingly), and years later I’m still mad I spent that $30 on that book.

[squirrels_oh_no]

Oh, it was definitely NOT sympathetic. If anything, he blamed the poor for being poor, it's their own damn fault they're poor.

[angriest_girl]

Yeah but when it first came out I’m sure that’s not how it was marketed, it was definitely implied that it would be some kind of sympathetic-ish reveal of a group of people most of us knew little about blah blah blah. I guess because most of those kind of books are like human stories that give context to the complexities of the lives of others, and the early critic reviews kind of said that without saying “but he thinks they all suck and they brought it on themselves”.

[evett]

and none for little Marco

[braindiva]

I'm sure it feeds into Marco's clear humiliation kink. Otherwise, he wouldn't be constantly playing lackey to Trump, who clearly loves making him look dumb.
