My parents were from the southern Appalachians, and the word “hillbilly” was not permitted in my house growing up. My brother read the book so the rest of us wouldn’t have to, and he said it was full of outsider stereotypes.

I’m quite certain that the Heritage Foundation is going to find a reason for Trump to have to leave the presidency after 2 years - Vance actually believes in their, um, dirt - but I’m not sure he can match the unique con artist personality that charms the Republican base with one lie after another. At least, I hope not.

The only comparable trash behavior was during the government shutdown of 2017, and then-Governor Chris Christie of NJ took his family to a public beach that he had shut down to the public. Looking like a beached whale on his flimsy beach chair, he lolled in the sun while his children played in the sand and surf. Noblesse oblige? Hardly. Obese observed.
