I got surprisingly little pushback from my piece in Andrew Sullivan's newsletter from a few weeks ago. I really thought this one was going to explode some heads but every single message I got was supportive. andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/where-have-a…

Why are people mad about Hillbilly Elegy, again? Seems like the more appropriate response is uh... sad.

Still watching but the one part I’ve found kind of ridiculous so far is when JD says something like, “We don’t say ‘redneck.’” The only people I’ve ever heard object to that term are Seattle liberals.

I guess it’s derogatory but in the part of Appalachia I’m from it always seemed more of a descriptor than a slur and plenty of rednecks proudly called themselves rednecks

If Trump were as authoritarian as some people seem to think (and not just a bumbling idiot & egomaniac, as I tend to think), it seems like he would have used the pandemic to exert real power instead of what he actually did, which is sit around watching cable news and tweeting.

Obviously, these dumb attempts to rewrite the election as stolen are disturbing and problematic (though they'll fail) but the dude's ego is the size of Trump Tower. He's grasping.

And not just the pandemic. He also could have used the riots this summer to impose martial law and he just talked about without actually doing much of anything. He's a very bad dictator.
