• 00:00:00 In this section, Republican candidate for senate in Ohio, J.D. Vance, is scrutinized for his flip-flop on Donald Trump. Vance, who made a private rebuke of Trump in 2016 likening his leadership to that of the genocidal death-camps of the Nazis, is now running for office and speaking favorably of Trump. Critics argue that he is the embodiment of the Republican Party’s fact-and-value-free principles which betray their self-professed standards while inquiring whether Vance’s swing towards Trump will be enough to secure victory in the coming Ohio primary. Vance has transformed his political weakness into an asset even though his professional background as an Ivy League graduate who straddles the worlds of finance, media, and right-wing grievance culture raises many questions.

The article notes that Vance's transformation highlights a concerning trend of a movement that struggles with facts and reasoned discourse, which is increasingly unable to figure out who is on its side, and may be a trojan horse for billionnaire media elites rather than a fight against tech media elites.
