    The big lesson of the Trump years is that you can basically remake yourself completely every 2 years or so and not suffer any reputational damage. In fact, in the attention economy, it's a form of increased prominence and clout.https://twitter.com/MattZeitlin/status/1521675115175546881 …

    i'll never shut up about this but it's remarkable that Hillbilly Elegy was a "culture of poverty" book about poor white people and now Vance is their avenging angel, a remarkble testimony to the mutability of conservativism

        I mean not just Trump (who went from supposed real estate tycoon to bankrupt to reality show star to pseudo-populist to hard right GOP) but many other figures of our age are shapeshifters: Vance, Greenwald, Sohrab Ahmari, the "post left" bozos. It's the time of chameleons.

        It's a cop-out argument though for people who have the attention spans of gnats.

        It's something "new" which helps generate "news" more than anything else

        Assuming he actually wins, how is Vance any different from Obama?
