Vance was a "Chua Pet" at Yale. Hillbilly Elegy wasn't even an original project, it was a spin-off of Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld's "The Triple Package."

Some suggested reading:
- Bitterly Divided by David Williams
- Rebels Against the Confederacy by Barton Myers
- Free State of Jones by Victoria Bynum
- Sisson's Kingdom by Paul Dotson
The reality is that the ACW was exactly the brutal mess you allude to in the South.

Another radical thought: it's not the job of an electoral party or broad ideology to provide specific guidance on non-electoral political organization and engagement strategies.
It's also disingenuous to claim that the lack of such guidance is the same as saying "you *only* need to vote."

I would describe it as a wants to be lazy middle management situation. You get the perks of position and power, but don’t have to exert yourself beyond relaying directives from your superiors and parroting platitudes to your subordinates.

Ironically though, Jeff Davis gave speeches in front of the Confederate Congress deriding Northerners as being descended from woke Puritan agitators… so of course the South wants to separate from these intolerable people…

My most likely scenario is that a small but significant rural segment of voters is getable and Democrats will be somewhat successful in getting them. But, the GOP will use some new wedge issue(s) to try to divide and/or depress other segments of the center-left coalition to negate this.
