Their chief film critic & insufferable little bitch, Peter Debruge proclaimed:
Unlike so many of the books published in the lead-up to someone’s political candidacy — such as Barack Obama’s 2007 The Audacity of Hope or Kamala Harris’ 2019 The Truths We Hold — Hillbilly Elegy wasn’t written for readers of Vance’s political persuasion. Rather, it served to explain to liberals why Trump would get elected that fall, inspiring waves of parachute journalism as reporters rushed to such communities to make sense of the strange turn national politics was taking.…
It was that dimension of Vance’s narrative that clearly attracted director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer — both self-avowed liberals, who may have created a monster by legitimizing his origin story, much as The Apprentice producer Mark Burnett did by giving Trump a reality TV spotlight back in 2004.
The "created a monster" line - as well as putting it right next to Trump, like their twin monsters, just screams "I'm a Democrat." But it also sounds like a tantrum. Vance was already a big success with the book, and was a wealthy investor, so it's not like Ron Howard made him. In a similar vein, Mark Burnett did not make Donald Trump, who was already one of America's most famous business moguls. Film critics tend to be just jealous, failed film makers judging other's success.
And speaking of insufferable bitches:
We may have just witnessed the first known case of Vance Derangement Syndrome (VDS) on national television. "MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Peers Into Vance Speech, Finds a White Supremacy"
How else to explain Wagner’s crazy transmutation of the desire to be buried alongside one’s family into “the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity”?
