I have friends in the same situation -— daughter and husband and family live in Washington state and they can no longer discuss politics with them.

I told her that her daughter was now part of a certain social group that considers themselves superior in ‘class’ to the rest of the country. She’s dealing with class snobbery.

People just won’t give up that false, cheap feeling of social superiority that being ‘left’ gives them. So it’s no point arguing facts.

That’s the left -— that is its sole claim to legitimacy. No facts, not economics, but social superiority.

We have entered an age of class snobbery. Amereica didn’t used to be like this.

I recently reconnected with a long lost pal from High School days. After living in Washington State for ~14 years he just couldn't take the liberal politics and attitudes anymore and took a transfer to Huntsville. Found out he's married to a gal from of all places, Alaska. He feels like he has moved back to America.

You didn’t live in my town when you were growing up. We had townies, college professor’s and businessmen’s kids, and rural kids. And nobody mixed much. It’s still there in the school. The professionals’ kids get away with a lot more junk than others do.

We have entered an age of class snobbery. America didn’t used to be like this. Its been like that here in the northeast since colonial times. Tied as much to race and level of education as it is wealth. It leads to stupidity such as slovenly white proles putting down those they think are below them, without realizing that their "betters" in Manhattan and the North Shore think of them as greasy white trash.
