Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : This may explain why Vance, who had more integrity when I knew him, abruptly flipped from calling Trump "cultural heroin" to the greatest president of his lifetime.
33% : Consider: Trump, who has been married three times and divorced two times, proudly appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine.
32% : But post-liberalism, despite its ideological and moral disdain for Trump, needs MAGA.
30% : Those of us who don't want to live in a theocracy must look beyond just defeating Trump and must also seek to vanquish a post-liberal right.
26% : A post-liberal devotee like Vance knows how to talk a populist game, but, like Trump, he has no interest in delivering for working people.
21% : He was also, as everybody will remember, riding the attention from his memoir "Hillbilly Elegy" and was a vocal and unambiguous critic of Trump, using words like "idiot" to describe Trump and "reprehensible" to describe his views on "Immigrants, Muslims, etc."Despite the time we spent as friends, I have no real insights (other than political expediency) into what drew him to post-liberal men like the academic Patrick Deneen, columnist Sohrab Ahmari, legal scholar Adrian Vermeule and expat journalist and author Rod Dreher, who was present for Vance's baptism into the Catholic Church in 2019.
21% : But not only did Trump not state a clear position at the debate, he said, "I didn't discuss it with JD."
20% : That's after Trump suggested in March that he'd support such a ban.
19% : Nobody who's pro-worker, as Vance claims to be, would team up with Trump, the candidate who laughed with Elon Musk about union busting.
