Revisionists then decided the book was Bad™ for three reasons: (1) the book glorifies individual decisionmaking to break patterns of bad generational decisionmaking; (2) it treats poverty culture as a non-intersectional problem; (3) it humanizes poor white Trump supporters. — PolitiTweet.org

The revisionist history on the book "Hillbilly Elegy" is fascinating. The book came out in 2016 and was a massive bestseller because it personalized and commented on cultural pathologies that lead to long-term poverty in rural white communities. — PolitiTweet.org

The movie was probably greenlit in the first wave of "this might explain Trump" feeling from Hollywood. By the time it came out, the revisionists had won the conversation in the media. So the movie became Bad™ along with the book. — PolitiTweet.org
