It seems to be what everyone says about him, that he changes constantly, apparently.
I feel sorry for Usha, his wife.

I’m so tired of hearing about this book. My uncle talked to me about it like it’s a sequel to the Bible. Like the mere publication of it shook the heavens and Earth. He has never read it nor does he own a copy. I’m so tired of Republican brainwashing.

It wasn’t even a very good book. Incel vibes former emo kid from Cincinnati whines about how the decline in Appalachia is narrowly all the people’s fault for not being better than they are, and nothing at all to do with the offshoring of plant, mill, manufacturing jobs and failed trickle down policies.

So we want 1 percenters who are worth hundreds of millions happy? Your side doesn’t know what it wants lol. Maybe that why your own pollsters has harris down and in panic mode lol. Can’t wait to see the meltdown on this sub in November

The whole “I’m not mad, just disappointed” thing was invented by kind dads like Ron Howard

Well, EVERYONE is disappointed by JD “LA-Z-BOY Lethario” Vance.

I’m not even joking when I say, of all the people I wanted to hear from on this it’s Ron Howard. I find this man to be an American treasure and was scratching my head about his involvement with Vance

He’s always been a piece of shit, Ron is just ashamed of having cashed in.

I feel bad for that movie’s casting couch

Liberals gotten taken for a ride by this goof and his terrible book. It’s embarrassing how easy it is to trick them into thinking there’s a self-reflective conservative out there.

Perspective matters; it’s a terrible “small town boy makes good” movie and Howard should be ashamed of making it. That being said, it’s a fairly decent “villain origin story” movie and Howard still should be ashamed of making it.

You know it’s bad when Opie is disappointed in you. The only thing worse would be to see that same disappointment in Aunt B and Pa’s eyes too.

Maybe it’s because I came from a poorer family, but I find it hard to believe anyone read that damn book and is surprised. JFC, it was obvious.

how can you be disappointed? he is literally living up to the book.

Oh dear. Now Trump is gonna throw Opie in jail for being nasty.

I read his book in high school with very little context other than “all the NYT think pieces say this book explains the Trump voter”. It does not, it explains why JD Vance probably despises the average Trump voter.
My civics teacher saw me reading it and asked what I thought, I didn’t have much of an answer. He says “oh, well I thought it was just terrible” before abruptly stopping and giving me a wide-eyed look. “I should not have said that and let you make your opinion I think”.
Yes Mr. Mertz, you should have- I never got the joy of coming to the conclusion JD Vance is a cancerous tube worm on my own.

I’m so disappointed in Ron Howard. Has he fallen for the con?

I think it would be interesting and scary to write a “republican Bible.” But I also know that would be dangerous, even if meant to be a satire.

I wonder if howdie doodie even read the book before he made it into a movie.

Howard should’ve waited for Demon Copperhead and made that into a movie instead.

so this movie came out in 2020. is it any good? is it a comedy? i usually think Ron Howard is a pretty solid director. was this a netflix movie or something done for cash?

Ron, you worked on a show about out of touch rich people…

It was a good movie. I wish it’s all I’d ever heard of him though now.

Ron really took some artistic freedoms with the “foldout couch” scene. No one saw it coming.

Surprised? Disappointed? I don’t understand. Vance (and Trump) have been like this for years. You’re just embarrassed you fell for the con.

I don’t know about the book but the movie felt very much like a narrative meant to serve him politically in the future.

Ron Howard is as dumb as his daughter is cute.

Vance is just an actor, playing a part for the Trump family of grifters. He plays the part of ” mini me.” He is the evil second that will burn with his bosses. Their end is near. Lets be gone if them all.

Then Ron Howard should donate all the money he made from selling J.D. Vance’s story to fight opioid addiction or shut the hell up. Put your money where your mouth is.
Ramadeus88 on
Does the book explain why he cannot order a box of donuts like a normal human being?
For example, does he have some kind of debilitating trauma linked to making a simple, informed choice? Or is there a reason he turns into a robot when faced with people working in a service industry?
