      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.

          Or, it's the time when traditional media is wasting time with endless content featuring "who are you, again? Why are you here? What do you want?" non-entities, rather than answering real questions in an engaging manner, assuming this is a perpetual business model #resources

          Tucker had a bunch of rebrands: from CNN's bow tie conservative, to Iraq war booster, to MSNBC Republican, to Fox's preeminent "right wing populist".

          Hillbilly Elegy sucks but the one chapter I thought was interesting was looking at 'why does my family hate Obama and believe he was born in Kenya, well they just want to look up to some god king who tells them that America is the best even though it clearly is not' lmao.

          Has anyone pulled this off who doesn’t lurk in political niches already inhabited by grifters? (lately, the entire conservative movement but also spaces like the Greens and local politics) Biden repositioned over time to stay center-center-left but he didn’t do a 180° in 2 years

          Many of them seem to be chasing the easy money that pours out of right wing foundations.
