Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance

1.0

I’m dumb for reading this, just because it is a memoir, without researching the author first. While his childhood story was interesting, it is a book full of trump loving, racist, conservative propaganda. One of the saddest elements of the United States is how the right wing has used their power to take advantage of low-income white people, while voting in laws that systematically keep them poor. The democrat party is not much better, capitalism is a horrible drain on everyone. Anyway, I do not recommend and it honestly wasn’t even that well written.
