At an event last night, Vice President JD Vance joked that it was an “insult” to be reminded that he used to write articles for National Review. I think those articles — see here for an archive — hold up pretty well. But Vance is of course entitled to change his mind and has exercised that right with gusto. Perhaps events, and further changes of mind, will bring us back to closer accord. Our doors will remain open to his thoughts in any case, and we’ll try to go light with the red pen.
