    Mawmaw sounds cool.

    Edit: ok, so, maybe mawmaw was an abusive drunk (I’m in the habit of taking victims at their word, but JD Vance is a prolific liar), but at least she wasn’t a homophobe.

      She was an alcoholic who bullied and tormented Vance’s mother according to the book. But Vance hates his mother, so he loved Mawmaw for abusing his mom

        Holy shit. See, kids, this is why context is important.

        Thanks for filling me in.

        Edit: Although I typically accept the victim’s story, it’s hard for me to accept JD Vance’s word on anything. Nonetheless, if he was the victim of abuse, I do feel badly about that, but it’s no excuse for his bigotry.
