  • I liked his book. It was really good and could relate to a lot of it. I absolutely do not agree with his politics and think he took a hard right turn during the Trump administration. Before that he was more a centrist and could even agree with several of his non-social political stances. Since then he’s become an absolute wingnut and I would struggle to find a single thing we had any common ground on.

    Has anyone else has read Hillbilly Elegy and/or watched the movie (I haven’t yet), are you as baffled as I am about his changes in political stances? It just seemed so odd seeing where he came from and turning into what amounts to a proponent of facism.
