And other links for your Sunday

This week, a couple of articles attempted to grapple with JD Vance’s rise to political prominence and how his rhetoric changed along the way.

I always find these kinds of articles a little disingenuous because they fail to examine the culpability of onlookers — story writers and story consumers — in the creation of the myth of a man, especially a man like Vance.
