Speaking at a May 18 event sponsored by the Claremont Institute's Center for the American Way of Life, author J.D. Vance warned that "the biggest businesses, the most powerful institutions, the most powerful banks in this country have aligned themselves against [political and social conservatives]." He urged conservatives to fight back and outlined a plan for doing so. "We’re never going to beat them unless we go after them," he said.

Mr. Vance is the best-selling author of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis (Harper Press, 2016). He is also the co-founder of Narya, a venture capital firm based in Ohio.
