Found my husband watching Hillbilly Elegy on Netflix. First, ewww. Second, I caught a scene when his mom didn’t have insurance and they didn’t know what to do. So, one would think Vance would want to save the ACA (which his mom eventually got) or have something better than “concepts” of a plan. 🙄 - ThreadSky

you're projecting empathy, consideration, and compassion onto people that have nothing but malice.

It's a lie. He grew up middle class. His mom worked in a hospital. She got her drugs by stealing from patients.

thememewarveteran.bsky.social•95 days ago

I think my version is far more accurate 😉😅

One would think that…

He will do whatever provides him the most money and power.

foxford.bsky.social•95 days ago

Oh
He’s rich now
So…every other person has to experience the pain he resented so much.
Sociopaths are odd like that.

princesskim.bsky.social•95 days ago

What concept of a plan does he have?

And those people, the rich "fake" poor people, are huge Trump supporters.

You can't make up stupid.

First ewww 🤣🤣

None of this happened to him. That book is a farce to make him seem like “common folk”. It’s all fucking bullshit.

alriv1966.bsky.social•95 days ago

Not for him anymore. The grifting that it’s about to come will put him on easy street. Health care for them selves will be affordable. Not so much for the American citizen.

They want to slam the door behind them. Strange. These folks are all missing the important compassion gene. They are already extinct. They won’t move forward and we’re not going back. Our fork in the road moment has arrived.

There use to be a Bill of Rights guaranteed care. A social worker would help you in everyway they could. Now Providers literally are afraid.

jbdenton.bsky.social•95 days ago

They will do just like they did last time on healthcare, NOTHING!

He’s typical Republican. Once it’s no longer a problem for HIM or HIS family, he doesn’t care. No Republican is EVER distressed about the fact millions of Americans lack basis healthcare. Not one.

Pulling up the ladder behind him.

jasontinsley.bsky.social•95 days ago

He hates women, his mom included.

thedebeg.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yes I thought about that after watching it.

scenario-studios.bsky.social•95 days ago

Eew is right. 😂

floramcg7.bsky.social•95 days ago

Nah

staygold714.bsky.social•95 days ago

I would have screamed, “get off my couch, now!” 😌

bamamom.bsky.social•95 days ago

He is like all the poor white dudes down here in the South…when they become “somebody” they want to forget where they come from…but we all know who they are…can take the boy out of the trailer park

dazedlivin.bsky.social•95 days ago

Great point! Sadly I watched before I knew it was Vance’s movie. I really love the cast. I can’t understand how he would want to inflict pain or hardship on others, having gone through that? And being Christian and all 😂
