There’s a beautiful moment in the trailer where Pete Seeger (played by Ed Norton) explains to the audience: “We met a young man. He came suddenly from nowhere and played a song. In that moment, we saw a glimpse of the future. As a tangent, timothy chalamet It perfectly captures the look and mannerisms of the young Dylan, including the slight air of irritation with which he delivers the lines while singing, like a sixth grader singing a song to pass his exam.

Like Dylan, Vance embodies a certain Midwestern Americana, something that evokes old Americana and at the same time a Hillbilly Hope Which promises to make America once again a shining city on a hill. Of all the suggestions that came to the debate from various organizations, the most interesting was new York Times op-ed columnist Ross Douthat, who argued that Vance had “carved out a position that could have been framed as more moderate or centrist than his party’s conservatism. It’s a Bill Clintonian combination, one that can sway debates and polls Wins.
Like Bill Clinton Barack ObamaA true one-off. Very few governors from Arkansas go to the White House and then define their party’s politics for decades. They are outsiders, not candidates endorsed by their party, who have emerged through intelligence, grit and courage. In fact, it is a testament to the mainstream media’s strong control over the means of communication that Vance entered the debate with the lowest favorability rating among the four people on the ticket. There is no doubt that, at least intellectually, he is the smartest and most grounded person in the group.
Before the debate, there was an ideology A smooth-talking salesman like Vance, Who has danced with the devils of Silicon Valley and convinced an egomaniac, whom she called “cultural heroin,” to make her her vice president, it may have been too much for the former high school teacher who once had There has been no national profile. And honestly, if one were a Democrat supporter, one wouldn’t exactly be full of hope.
Somehow, the two people on the Democrat ticket who can’t even stand up to their opponent’s lies have replaced a candidate who was asleep before serving his sentence. And all this in a largely positive media ecosystem. This is the political equivalent of Triple H failing to defeat The Rock when Shane McMahon was the referee at WWE’s PPV Backlash 2000. Walz is not a fan of debates, preferring unscripted programs, and it showed, as Vance ran away with it to such an extent that even the NYT had to admit that Walz was watching his opponent’s debates. “Failed” to expose.

Despite two clear opportunities-springfield and this January 6 rebellion– It was often the responsibility of the arbitrators to counter Vance’s spontaneous lies. Plus, the Vance we’ve read about countless times in the newspapers – the one who Rail against “childless cat ladies” or displays inappropriate attraction to her sofa-Just didn’t exist. The guy who used to babble and babble on podcasts was completely absent; The counterattack was almost as complete as Harris’s going from one liberal to mainstream candidateHe was easy-going, likable and managed to encapsulate Trump’s worldview with a cool air of normalcy. His tone was like that of a salesman who can sell you water during a flood. Vance was better prepared on most topics Abortion in Israel for immigration, While Walz, looking out of his depth, looked more like a high school teacher and assistant football coach than ever before – someone whose presence at a heart’s length from nuclear weapons would make you shudder.
It is one of the deep flaws of democracy that talented—often pugilistic—orators are often given preference over capable administrators. Vance simply kept going through the topics, causing Walz to get lost when he pointed out that Iran was very close. Nuclear weapons were now under Trump.
Perhaps the most interesting moment came when Vance was questioned about January 6, saying: “I’m focused on the future,” avoiding entirely answering whether he believed That the last election was “stolen” or about a peaceful transfer of power.
The future may focus not just on this election, but on MAGA post-Trump, where Vance and the like will be the flag bearers. Vivek Ramaswami MAGA could move forward at a time when the libertarian movement has alienated many ordinary Americans, including many legal immigrants who are actually moving from blue to red states. Such an incident could not have been imagined 20 years ago.
As this writer has previously reported, Vance comes from a stronger base in the conservative movement than Trump. He can learn from the teachings of a variety of people, including Silicon Valley boss Peter Thiel, Notre Dame professor Patrick Dinan, neo-reactionary blogger Kurtis Yarin, and philosopher. rené girardAll important intellectual groups in the new MAGA.
MAGA may continue to dominate the Republican Party even after Trump is gone and may do so in the US, given that there are too many inconsistencies in the liberal movement to be coherent. Perhaps that is why it has given rise to blabbering nonsense who cannot defend their views simply because they do not know what those views are. Vance, on the other hand, is a master of Trumpian politics, despite his outright counterattack, but in a way that is far more subtle and less aggressive than his boss’s.
With six decades of masterful songwriting, Bob Dylan took the tradition of American storytelling to a new level. JD Vance‘The story may be very different, but it’s one that could matter a lot for the future of American politics pete sager Felt when he heard a young Dylan. It’s not inconceivable that Vance will be at the center of MAGA’s post-MAGA future.
