Tldr: watch Zoolander, not Hillbilly Elegy
J D Vance is the Republican vice presidential candidate who got notoriety back in 2016 for his book Hillbilly Elegy about growing up in Ohio and escaping poverty (or something I haven't read it). He is rich and some people criticize him for wearing eyeliner.
The picture is from the movie Zoolander when the titular male model returns to his home town to try and reconnect with his family and generally does a terrible job relating to them.
OP is comparing Vance's distance from the people he claims connection with to a scene in Zoolander
