... however I doubt that many MAGA-types have ever read Vance's books. And that goes for the Blacks as well as the whites.

Ohio isn't all that different from my state of Pennsylvania in many ways. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't believe Vance could have been elected here, and yet he managed to win in Ohio. Was Peter Thiel's money the thing that made the difference? If so, it means Thiel was the winner, not Vance.
