Disagree. Strongly.
JD Vance, the hillbilly-Marine-venture-capitalist Senatorial candidate:
“You don’t think about your investment in your community and in your nation the same way if you know your children aren’t going to inherit it..."
Boy is always speaking for others, isn't he?
As someone without children of my own, but plenty in my life, may I share my opinion after years of careful observation? People who only care about what their own children are going to inherit are DESTROYING this country, and not even helping their own children long-run... nevermind America or their local communities, in the future...
He's got it backwards, almost. He's willing to sell out other American children to advance the inheritance of his own. To abandon the parts of America his own children will not inherit...
(Think Chicago and the Obamas, the community activist from Hawaii with no plans to personally return, ever. I don't expect the mixed-race Vance offspring to be raised in Appalachia either; JD abandoned his roots to advance himself. Nttawwt necessarily, but imagine if everyone sold out their regions, families and upbringing that way to advance their careers... No thank you. False narratives as memoir is helping destroy America's culture too, but rest easy: that genre has almost passed, in politics and literature. Bo-ring. Template-driven troubles.)
Can somebody please show this big bearded boy -- a proud papa and did we mention a Marine? -- to his seat already? Not his Senatorial seat, his anonymous corporate behind-the-scenes seat where he can further let out his beltline already and stop with the divisive pretending? He's no Donald Trump; the quick instincts simply aren't there...
ADDED: One of the most unAmerican traits I have seen in recent decades, is this turning away from the self-made man in America to the "what will I inherit, daddy?" mentality. It's not very appealing, and shows how little faith some men have in their offspring.
Very British, and Indian, actually. This idea of gentlemanly castes and inheriting, not earning, your way of life. The opposite of Independence, if I might point out myself. Comfort and security in the home confines, of course.
