098: Hillbilly Eulogy feat. Amanda Marcotte

098: Hillbilly Eulogy feat. Amanda Marcotte

How many y’all like JD Vance? That’s the question some proponents of MAGA are asking as the movement grapples with the inevitable reality of Trumpism ending. Either Trump’s term will run out, or the McDonald's will take its course, or an angry mob will secure control of the White House — something has to give here.

Superficially, Vance seems like the obvious choice to replace Trump... but maybe he just isn’t up to the job. That’s the take of our guest this week, Amanda Marcotte, a senior writer at Salon who has extensively chronicled the missteps of Peter Thiel’s humanoid political project and current Vice President.

Jared, Mike and Amanda run through some of Vance’s low lights in this episode and determine that he doesn’t really have a constituency to fall back on. Not even fascists find him particularly compelling.

So hide your “woke pussy” and look out for falling “MAGA cock.” This episode is a "hillbilly elegy" of another kind.
