Berry, Lorraine (15. juli 2024). «Opinion: J.D. Vance's book 'Hillbilly Elegy' was a con job. Don't let it slide». Los Angeles Times (på engelsk). Henta 16. juli 2024. «A few contemporary reports called out Vance’s misrepresentations and the media’s fallacious thinking. In October 2016, writing for the Guardian, journalist Sarah Smarsh pointed out that exit polls and surveys showed that Trump supporters had a higher median income — $72,000 — than supporters of Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Vance himself, she reported, had been raised in a middle-class household. By ignoring such realities, Smarsh argued, “Media makers cast the white working class as a monolith and imply an old, treacherous story convenient to capitalism: that the poor are dangerous idiots.”»

Henta 16. juli 2024. «In the latest episode of The Run-Up, we spoke with a man who may be better qualified than anyone to answer that question: J. D. Vance, who grew up in the heart of Mr. Trump’s America, Appalachia, where stubborn poverty, economic decay and class resentment were as firmly rooted as the coal mines. [---] “These people feel ignored in a very substantive way,” he said, especially by the Republican Party, with which they have long identified. | “They’re not addressing the sense of crisis that I think a lot of these people feel in their own lives and that they see in their own communities,” Mr. Vance said. | “So along comes Donald Trump,” he continued, “talking the way that they talk and simultaneously speaking to their concerns over trade and over the economy, so it’s not super surprising that they’ve gravitated towards him.”»

Henta 16. juli 2024. «Part of the current glimpse is JD Vance, author of the bestselling new memoir Hillbilly Elegy. A successful attorney who had a precariously middle-class upbringing in an Ohio steel town, Vance wrote of the chaos that can haunt a family with generational memory of deep poverty. A conservative who says he won’t vote for Trump, Vance speculates about why working-class whites will: cultural anxiety that arises when opioid overdose kills your friends and the political establishment has proven it will throw you under the bus. While his theories may hold up in some corners, in interviews coastal media members have repeatedly asked Vance to speak for the entire white working class.»
