So the reason Trumpists exist is to fight the highly educated left? The poor bumpkins can't fend for themselves, so they rally behind, wait for it, TRUMP, to fight it?
What a joke. I was JUST starting to give the author a little credit when they rolled out that whopper.
I guess I'm just another bumpkin, then. Only a highly uneducated wastrel like myself would see that blame goes both ways, left AND right. I'm probably being generous here, but at least 90% of these career politicians are self-serving pieces of shit. They've lost touch with reality, and have forgotten who they (are supposed to) serve.
I'm of the opinion they need a harsh wake-up call.
Check. The articles smacks of the periodic "mea culpa" statements made by the Left ... who then go right back to exactly what they were doing before. "Trump as monster" is absurd and emblematic of how disconnected from reality they are ... he is for them a "monster" because he challenges their beloved, cloistered worldview. Anyone can see that Trump is human and makes mistakes, but he comes off a lot more approachable than old pinch-face:
But author is precisely correct that the elite children evaded service in Vietnam. What he does not make clear is that in the decades since, they have assaulted the foundations of the Republic because it wasn't a socialist-communist scheme that they have been brainwashed into believing is oh-so-just.
Yeah, in this case, a "highly educated" guy here, but not Ivy League and damned glad for it.
