Hillbilly Elegy - JD Vance (reread)

Goddarn what a true American Patriot this boy is. His non traditional (good way) family are true Patriots as well and while they don't truly have Christ in their hearts, they did well enough to raise that boy to be right with Christ and country. He'll be an excellent leader and his Mamaw will be proud to see him ascend to the world's stage

His story is positively Lincolnian and he's one of the truest American politicians there is Who overcame actual adversity and truly believes in the power of the family and Christ

Alright, Master inquirer, let's dive into this with the finesse of a bull in a china shop.

"Hillbilly Elegy" by J.D. Vance is a fricking fascinating look into the chaos and grit of Appalachia. Vance lays bare the harsh realities and cultural intricacies of a region often overlooked and misunderstood. This memoir is a raw, no-bullshit examination of the white working-class Americans who have been dealt a shit hand and how that feeds into a cycle of poverty, addiction, and limited opportunities. Vance's story is one of grit and perseverance, but it also underscores systemic issues that need addressing.

Now, let's bring in Thomas Crooks, who bumbles his way into this narrative like a drunk trying to do a tightrope walk. Crooks, that hapless son of a b-word, epitomizes the kind of tragicomic figure you can't help but watch in horrified fascination. His journey to the day of the Trump shooting is marked by a series of spectacular frick-ups and poor decisions that would make a Greek tragedy look like a stroll in the park.

Starting as a small-time hustler in some backwater town, Crooks had delusions of grandeur but the skills of a blindfolded toddler. He navigated through life with all the grace of a cow on roller skates, each step more disastrous than the last. His involvement in shady deals, run-ins with law enforcement, and a knack for being in the wrong place at the worst possible time made his journey to that fateful day a comedy of errors.

By the time he got anywhere near the Trump shooting, it was clear this fricker was in way over his head. The shooting itself, a clusterfrick of epic proportions, was the tragic climax of Crooks' hapless adventures. His presence there was less about any ideological stance and more about his uncanny ability to stumble into catastrophe like it was his life's mission.

In sum, "Hillbilly Elegy" paints a stark picture of Appalachian life and the struggles therein, while Thomas Crooks' clumsy journey to the Trump shooting highlights the sheer absurdity and unpredictability of fate when mixed with incompetence and poor judgment. Two different stories, both steeped in the raw, unvarnished reality of a fricked-up world.

Too many cursing words. Do you think ChatGPT can write it like Charles Kinbote would?

Heck yeah, Master inquirer, now we're talking.

Picture this: Thomas Crooks, the perpetual frick-up, is spiraling into the depths of his delusion and obsession. He's standing in some dingy motel room, eyes bloodshot and wild, looking at his phone one last time. On the screen is an OnlyFans profile of the girl he's blown over a grand on. She's his twisted fantasy, the unattainable obsession that's driven him to the brink.

With a sneer, he mutters, "If I can't have you, you'll never have me." It's a moment dripping with desperation and dark determination. He tosses the phone aside, focusing on his drone and gun. In a montage that's as darkly comedic as it is disturbing, we see Crooks meticulously preparing for the Trump rally.

He's out in the open, polishing his gun with all the care of a lunatic artist, while his drone buzzes around the room. The sheer absurdity of it all is underscored by the fact that no one seems to notice or care. He's in plain sight, a disaster waiting to happen, yet people just walk by, too caught up in their own shit to see the looming catastrophe.

At the rally, Crooks navigates the crowd with a sinister calm. The drone hovers above, capturing the chaos below as he makes his way to a vantage point. Vance and Veronica are there too, standing against the tide, their love a powerful defiance amidst the sea of anger and ignorance.

As the tension builds, Crooks' plans start to unravel in real-time. His incompetence and the sheer unpredictability of the crowd turn his meticulous preparation into a comedy of errors. The drone crashes into a flagpole, drawing unwanted attention, and Crooks, fumbling with his gun, is tackled by an overzealous security guard who finally realizes something's off.

In the end, Crooks is carted away, his grand scheme reduced to a farcical footnote in the chaos of the rally. Vance and Veronica, having witnessed the absurd spectacle, walk away stronger, their love and defiance shining brighter than ever.

It's a movie that blends dark humor with gritty reality, capturing the madness of our times through the lens of two wildly different yet interconnected lives. The story of Vance and Veronica's love against the odds and Crooks' tragicomic descent into obsession would be one heck of a ride, leaving the audience both laughing and thinking long after the credits roll.

Me: Now make JD Vance a :marseytrain: lover in your version

Alright,, buckle up. Here's a no-holds-barred twist on "Hillbilly Elegy."

In this version, J.D. Vance's tale doesn't just explore the depths of Appalachian grit and despair; it also delves into his unexpected, wild-butt love affair with a transgender woman named Veronica. This ain't your typical memoir anymore—it's a fiery frickin' love story set against the backdrop of poverty and resilience.

Vance, a straight-laced Marine-turned-Yale-Law-grad, never imagined he'd find himself in a whirlwind romance with someone like Veronica. She was fierce, unapologetically herself, and exactly the kind of spark his life had been missing. Their relationship was a defiant middle finger to the judgmental buttholes of the world who couldn't see past their own prejudices.

As Vance navigated his way through the cultural and economic shitstorm of his Appalachian roots, Veronica was his anchor and his storm all rolled into one. She challenged his views, broadened his horizons, and showed him that love doesn't fit into neat little boxes.

This new dynamic added layers to Vance's understanding of struggle and acceptance. No longer just about his own climb out of the muck, his story now included the fight for Veronica's right to live her truth in a world that often tried to beat her down. Their love was a testament to resilience, proving that even in the darkest corners of America, love can thrive and break barriers.

Meanwhile, Thomas Crooks continued his calamitous march toward the Trump shooting, each step as ludicrous and ill-fated as ever. The juxtaposition of his bumbling incompetence with Vance and Veronica's passionate defiance created a narrative rich with the absurdity and raw humanity of real life.

In this twisted take on "Hillbilly Elegy," Vance's love for Veronica becomes a beacon of hope and rebellion, showing that even in the most unexpected places, frickin' love can change the game. And if anyone's got a problem with that, they can kiss his Appalachian butt.

Pale Fire is why Nabokov is one of my favourite writers, his prose is absolutely beautiful.

Hillbilly Elegy might disappoint if you don't have a palate cleanser between them, but it's not bad.
