One of the more surprising parts of this interview is hearing a candidate for vice president explain that the realignment we’re living through isn’t really policy or candidate specific— it’s institutionalists or those clinging to the old top down order versus those who’ve given up on existing institutions.

You certainly don’t hear many national candidates naming this or providing meta commentary on it. JD Vance is the first truly online candidate of our lifetimes.
