I don't disagree with that.
My interpretation would also be
both a little kinder, but also just a bit more cynical at the same time.
You know, I think this is a book by a guy who has deep political aspirations.
By the way, I think the guy who wrote Hillbilly Elegy also did.
When I finished that book at the time, I was like, this guy's going to run for something, you know?
But I think that...
what he's trying to do in communion is to satisfy all sorts of different constituencies.
And so what, what looks like, like, you know, sort of scattershot kind of all over the place is him thinking like, okay, this is for this group.
This is for that group.
And that's what politicians, especially sitting politicians do, you know,
hillbilly elegy managed to have widespread bipartisan appeal, right?
Because it confirmed the elite liberal suspicions about the, you know, working class pathologies of like the Trump voters, but also affirmed the, you know, up by your bootstraps ethos of kind of conventional conservatism, right?
So there's something for everyone, right?
Um,
You know, here, the something for everyone approach doesn't work as well because as EJ said, it's multiple books at once.
You know, like here's some religion, here's some stuff about why social media is bad.
You know, here's why those people at Yale Law School were too ambitious.
You know, people read Hillbilly Elegy in order to understand the, you know, the anger and the needs and the concerns of the white working class.
Vance himself was just a vehicle for that understanding.
