I don't know what his mother feels about him now, but she used to have a drug problem, and JD was essentially kidnapped by his absolutely insane "meemaw" who raised him to be a good little conservative shitheel. She's dead. According to Vance, after they went through her house postmortem, they found something like 16 loaded handguns secreted in various places.

I believe his mother is still alive though. I'm going to see if I can find any information about her today. Beverly Carol nee Vance.

Edit: Looks like his mom was at his RNC speech, so fuck her.

His "meemaw" also talked him out of thinking he was gay, and began his 180 on all his previous stances on being a decent human.

Is that true, and if so do you have a source for it?

Honestly the story is way better than I would have thought. It's crass but honestly not bad. Now how many brain worms does it take to get from Meemaw's stance to the GOP's? Like fuck he should have stuck with meemaw.

"JD, do you want to suck dicks?" [Meemaw] said, according to the book.

The young Vance, apparently "flabbergasted," said: "Of course not!"

"Then you're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay," she replied. "God would still love you."

Wow. That’s.. a thing. And just imagine how he warped what actually happened to be presentable to his base.. yikes.

Thanks for following up :)
