People are confused about war, politics, conflicting world views, and a whole bunch of other crap.
Like that relationship status option: it's complicated.
I'm here to sort it out for all y'all.
The old phrase "noblesse oblige" applies perfectly to today's Democrats. And is about as well-received.
The term dates back almost two hundred years, to the concept that the more privileged nobility should take care of the little people--the ones not as moneyed or educated as they are.
In its day, it was meant to be a pat on the back among the upper classes. Today--much like the Democratic Party itself--it goes over about as well as Marie Antoinette in Compton.
No one is more tone deaf than the "be kind" people--who, may I point out, are the most effete and incapable of seeing any type of intellect besides the kind that comes with a Ph.D. And that is their brick wall that they are unable to see over.
I am able to see their blindness because I was raised in it. No one thinks they are more brilliant than New Yorkers, especially Ivy League graduates. They don't know how to build a fire--hell, some of 'em can't change a fucking lightbulb!--but they are convinced they are more evolved than farmers, warfighters, garbagemen, waitresses and factory workers.
Having lived among the latter for more of my adult life than the former which I grew up with, I can tell you that nothing could be further from the truth.
And that is why the endlessly hilarious jabber from the Dems about how they need to "restructure their message" and "reach the masses more effectively" is always, always, ALWAYS going to fall flat on its ass.
Because the Dems have no interest or understanding of what the working classes actually do or what they contribute or how smart they may be--regardless of lack of framed diplomas---they only want to CONVINCE these people of whom they are completely contemptuous that they know better.
The thing is--as our recent election so resoundingly proved---the working classes don't give a flying fuck what people in Manhattan or Beverly Hills think about anything. In fact, they give these folks no thought whatsoever. And why should they?
From my perspective, the Democratic Party is never going to come back, which is fine with me. Yes, men who went to Harvard and Yale have run America for most of its existence--but that came to a crashing halt with Trump's first victory. And his re-election this year shows the guy isn't a one-hit wonder.
But the Dems keep wondering how minorities and women could have abandoned their brilliant minds lol. Well, here's a hint: most people in America don't want to be around men in high heels or Venezuelan gang members who are welcomed in and fed, clothed, and housed for free while Americans work their asses off just to keep their heads above water.
It's that simple.
But clearly, the Dems---who scream about "democracy" while applauding their whitest privilege president for pardoning his son for being a lying crackhead, a horrible person, and an illegal gun owner who didn't pay his taxes (as I understand it, someone else backpaid them for him)--still believe they are the smartest and most noble of humans.
In fact, they are living in an alternate reality--one which most Americans want no part of.
I don't think the left is ever going to understand how much of a zeitgeist island they live on. But like an iceberg that's melting, that island is going to keep getting smaller and smaller--and floating further and further from the mainland and its reality.
Not sure why anyone would be surprised that a lifelong politician would a) lie and b) legally pardon his crack-addicted, POS son who broke federal gun laws.
For those of you who don't own firearms, these statements we sign are no joke, and would carry serious repurcussions for anyone, let alone a drug addict.
But those "we love the middle class" Dems are the most elitist on Earth, and Joe Bob's pardon of his son for not just his odious crimes (there's a reason drug addicts aren't allowed to own firearms, and it's not just because they are impaired--it's because they are far more likely to commit robberies with them to get money to maintain their habit), but for any not yet named. Such is the power of our "democracy."
I have no clue why such a power was ever granted to a president. I cannot imagine a circumstance in which it would not be used for no other reason than political gain or familial benefit. And let's not forget that the old senile fart is himself clearly embroiled in Hunter's business dealings with bad actors, and by pardoning his son, keeps that information out of the news going forward.
Listening to Whoopi Goldberg say "He can do what he wants, he's the president," makes me pee laughing. Bitch, what happened to the whole "threat to democracy" thing? Eh? And I cannot think of a more spotlighted incident of what people love to call "white privilege" than this bullshit. "Poor white trash privilege," I grant you. Hunter is as bad as they come in that category.
Well, it's just another day in American politics, right, folks? Politics is power, and seldom, if ever, is power not misused for personal gain. The kind of people who persue careers in this field are by nature egomaniacs and pathological narcissists, and Joe Biden is the epitome of both.
Of course, he also has nothing to lose now. His career is over, his party is tanked, and there are no repurcussions he will experience for any of it.
He'll just go eat some more ice cream in Nantucket and Delaware while the missus changes his Depends.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, don't let the door hit your garbage ass on the way out, Joe.
