Rolling Stone: “After a terrifying childhood, Vance’s adult life has been a series of express pass rides on the water slide of ambition courtesy of the American establishment. The Marines. Yale Law School. Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Creepy billionaire. (Peter Thiel kicked in $15 million to Vance’s Senate campaign.) He now lives at Number One Observatory Circle, the 9,000-square-foot office residence of the vice president of the United States, where the U.S. Navy takes care of him and his family.”
“Still, Vance wants you to know all those institutions suck. It doesn’t scan, as the poets say. All politicians are bullshit artists, but you have to be able to sell the bullshit. Vance wants you to believe he is of the elite but is anti-elite.”
“This is a heavy lift.”
