The bad kind of Bourbon
Shorter verbatim JD Vance:
American history is a constant war between Northern Yankees and Southern Bourbons, where whichever side the hillbillies are on, wins. And that’s kind of how I think about American politics today, is like, the Northern Yankees are now the hyper-woke, coastal elites. The Southern Bourbons are sort of the same old-school Southern folks that have been around and influential in this country for 200 years. And it’s like the hillbillies have really started to migrate towards the Southern Bourbons instead of the Northern woke people. That’s just a fundamental thing that’s happening in American politics.
Well, you have to give Peter Thiel’s Waylon Smithers credit for this: none of this “Party of Lincoln” bullshit. They’re the party of the Confederate side and proud of it.
