Gregg Gonsalves

My latest for @thenation. Addiction and substance use shaped JD Vance's life, but he learned little and cared less about the issue and has devoted himself to a narrative of blame, while lifting himself up on the backs of the people of Appalachia. thenation.com/article/politics

The Nation · The Tragedy of J.D. VanceVance could have been a key player in addressing the roots of the opioid crisis. Instead, he went in another direction.

He's smarter than Trump, so he's learned to cloak his lack of empathy.

@gregggonsalves @thenation This is an interesting article and I agree with the thrust of it. The discussion of drug addiction and who to blame it on always leaves me with questions. Drug addiction (and trafficking), especially opioid addiction, is far from new. Heck, the British fought a war to preserve their right to import opioids to China almost 200 years ago. This leaves me with the question - why are some humans more susceptible to addiction than others?
