He wrote the book Hillbilly Elegy, which was popular especially with liberals, because it seemed like an empathetic look at that section of America. Then he went completely off the deep end as he got into politics, so that he's just another Trumper now, saying all the ridiculous stuff that comes with that. It's not surprising Trump picked him, because of that, but I wonder how that affects things, vs. picking someone more moderate (or at least seeming more moderate).

He used to be anti-Trump, going so far as to say only idiots voted for him and he was Hitler.

Oh no! He is an undercover dem plant to take Trump down
Why not throw out another crazy story to go along with the others I have heard or read today.

About Trump or Hitler?

Or maybe we just misunderstood the first time. It wasn't "Trump is Hitler, boo!", it was "Trump is Hitler, yay!".
But the chance to be VP means he's
willing to lie about his real opinion
of Trump. And suck up to him.

From what I've read he(and his book) used to be loved by liberals until Biden got elected and then he started going on about woke capitalism, the border crisis, china, big tech, etc..
Have you read his book?

Nope. Never heard about it until it was mentioned in post #2
Then maybe take a little time to inform yourself about who he is and what he stands for, before spreading misinformation.

So far I've got he was a Trump hater, the liberals loved him, he changed cues after 2020 and now liberals don't like him.
Is there more I need to know?
The answer to that question is always eternally yes.

Read this earlier about his book...
"THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IS NOW A MAJOR-MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING AMY ADAMS, GLENN CLOSE, AND GABRIEL BASSO
"You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist
"A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal
"Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times
From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America’s white working class
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility.
But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance’s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history.
A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country."
Or he really likes Hitler.
BTW, Hitler's legs aren't as nice as Henry Kissingers.

I missed this edit in your post.
What misinformation would that be?
From The Hill:
When voters in his home state approved a constitutional amendment protecting abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, Vance called it a “gut punch.” In a post on X in November 2023, Vance said state anti-abortion laws need exceptions for them to have a chance at passing.
