JD Vance's 'Hillbilly Elegy' continues to stir controversy and generate book salesAppalachians spoke to Yahoo News about how the book helps, or harms, local communities.He portrays Appalachians as ******* Hill Billies; which is what we all know about them. Of course they are stupid Trump voters and addicted to opiates and died from the coal dust in their lungs.The backdrop to Hillbilly ElegyIn the book, Vance recounts growing up in Middletown, Ohio, where he was exposed to a childhood of poverty, violence and his mother’s drug addiction. But Vance’s family roots extend back to Jackson, Ky., where his grandparents, "Mamaw" and "Papaw," were born, and it’s from there that Vance draws his cultural identity.Hillbilly Elegy is set in the 1980s, roughly a decade after the U.S. steel industry collapsed. The economic downturn left many people, including members of Vance’s family, unemployed and adrift.
That's where Charles Manson was born, some hayseed town on the Kentuckey border, not to mention Mitch McConnells' dumb **** who kept voting him back into office.
