And a lot of times, of course, they kept the culture, and they kept a lot of their habits with them when they moved.”
Of course, he was not from Kentucky. Because of that history, Vance claimed a kind of hillbilly mantel. After his memoir became a bestseller and was adapted into a movie, he explored the sense of want and identity that had helped elect President Donald Trump.
In 2016, he called Trump “America’s Hitler,” and said Trump was like a needle in a vein for people who needed hope to get through their tough lives.
His grandmother, affectionately known as “Mamaw,” became his confidante during this time.
Mamaw chuckled and seemed to consider how she might explain to a boy my age.
The Iowa Mercury
CARROLL, Iowa —
In reading the-then (and now-again) publishing sensation 'Hillbilly Elegy" eight years ago as it announced a culture-crashing new voice I found myself stopping at points in the book, both angry and doubtful of its author's authenticity.
I'd intended to fiercely pan “Hillbilly Elegy” in reviews, but the author JD Vance and I had mutual friends who persuaded me he was a honest-intentioned guy with a platform who could lift rural reaches of the nation like my hometown of Carroll, Iowa.
What's more, Vance is a gifted writer and the narrative pace of 'Elegy" kept me hooked, but the suggestions, in the book itself and reviews, that rural America is some sort of monolith infuriated me.
Here was the vice president defending the administration’s vile immigration policies in a way that fundamentally degrades the experiences and traditions of his own family, of people he is bound by vows—vows that should be sacred to a Christian—to love and protect. On his congressional website, Vance stated, “There are only two genders – passports issued by the United States government should recognise that simple fact.”
These stances have drawn criticism from advocates who view his actions as hypocritical, given his own history of personal transformation and self-reinvention.
The Drag Photo That Broke the Internet
Recently, a 2012 photo surfaced showing someone believed to be Vance dressed in drag at Yale.
Confused. Another of his initiatives, the Passport Sanity Act, seeks to ban the use of the “X” gender marker on US passports.
It wasn’t the most grotesque statement Vance has made—there are plenty of contenders for that—but it exposed his twisted priorities.
“There are only two genders,” he declared when promoting his now-enacted Passport Sanity Act.
Although once a “never-Trumper,” Vance fully embraced Donald Trump’s ideology, ultimately becoming his vice-presidential running mate and now serving as second-in-command. JD Vance’s journey from a small Appalachian town to the second-highest office in the country is filled with contradictions that have left many questioning how his personal history aligns with his political actions.
JD Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, provides a candid glimpse into a pivotal moment from his childhood.
He was instead aligned himself with the elite Ivy League and Big Tech conservatives who found him distasteful. How would you know that you're gay?'" I explained my thought process. "You would think it would be."
Then there's this: anyone who would use such crudely homophobic language would not pivot within seconds to a "God-would-still-love-you" stance on gay people.
I also just don't think any 9 year old is mature enough to be "flabbergasted" about anything.
He began with his thoughts on immigration policy, then veered toward the personal by saying he hopes Usha converts to Catholicism. Not as former President Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate.
This anecdote rang false to me eight years ago during a much lower-stakes time in Vance's life.
I still don't believe it.
Writers from Kentucky have rejected his characterizations and portrayed him more as a carpetbagger who doesn’t understand mountain culture.
Vance had already graduated from Yale Law School, dabbled in corporate law, and worked at Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm by the time he wrote Hillbilly Elegy, which now made him a sort of public intellectual—or at least a sought-after hillbilly whisperer.
