The reastion to Small Town, is the same reaction to Hillbilly Elegy, is the same reaction from Don Lemon when talking about Trump Supporters in the South, and it's all for the same reason. The elites hate you, and look at you with disgust. That's it. That's the entire reason.

I get it…I’m not the target audience for this. I’m a socialist with pronouns & queer as a $3 bill. But considering I share the same heritage as the author, I really wanted to read this bc poor Appalachia culture is still so ignored.

Hillbilly Elegy is trash, so is its author. https://t.co/eSCrJzQOZr

Hmm. . . Would I rather be in lifeboat with clever and cunning @RepThomasMassie and coldly censorious @RonDeSantis ? Or with Hillbilly Elegy decent @JDVance1 and brash, good-hearted Donald J. Trump? No hesitation: I'll take the latter. Political conniving is not a good look.
