The Elites Are Revolting
Sultan Knish ^ | 17 Feb 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox. It will be brought to you by BMW. The German luxury automaker is a key advertiser at GQ. And GQ is the headquarters of the Resistance. That's a vlog by Keith Olbermann who returned from his exile at an ESPN Elba to denounce Trump.

"I am Keith Olbermann," Keith Olbermann barks to the peasants and workers of GQ who are taking a break from reading an article on '$100 Cologne that Smells Like Nothing', "This is the Resistance.

When the underground isn't at GQ (The Most Radical Dress Socks to Wear Right Now), it's at Vanity Fair where Graydon Carter denounces Trump (Donald Trump: A Pillar of Ignorance and Certitude) right above a photo of himself taken by Annie Leibovitz smiling smugly from his skyscraper office.

The elites are revolting...

They most certainly are. In fact, revolting barely scratches the surface...

"They most certainly are. In fact, revolting barely scratches the surface... " I would say that they're panicking. Wetting and soiling themselves in total disarray. Too funny 🤗!

Totally. I'm disgusted by the immature behavior of almost all of them.

In America, there were still elections, but they didn’t matter very much. A Republican president could tinker a little, but he couldn’t change things. The left would throw its ritualistic tantrums if he limited abortion funding or invaded Iraq. But around the isolated controversies, everything else would go on moving further to the left.


Good synopsis.

Describes the entire 8 years of the Bush admin to a tee. In fact, that was the Bush doctrine of “compassionate conservatism”.

“If you live in the world of Facebook, Lyft, Netflix and Airbnb, crowding into airports shouting, “No Borders, No Nations, Stop The Deportations” makes sense. You don’t live in a country. You live in one of a number of interchangeable megacities or their bedroom communities. “

Someone else, maybe a month ago, wrote something very similar - noting that these tech workers can move to Hong Kong for a year, and work there, then to Madrid, or whatever and do the same.

Borders have little meaning to these people - they have enough money to buy their own security (for now, at least - and they think forever) and the idea that a farmer in Nebraska, or even a McDonald’s worker there, relies on a federal government that provides the first line of defense for them (as in secure borders) is simply beyond their comprehension.

What’s really sad is that if you go back one generation (two, at most) with these snowflakes, you’ll find parents (or grandparents) JUST LIKE US...yet this bunch of offspring is about as opposite as you can get. What happened? My guess is that the parents simply DROPPED THE BALL and did not want to ‘indoctrinate’ or otherwise ‘influence’ their kids in a political way. They wanted kids to ‘draw their own conclusions’. In a way, I did the same with mine - but ONE HUGE DIFFERENCE - I loaded them up with FACTS...and they concluded, on their own, what we all here believe, and a.re about as pro-Trump as anyone in this country. The other parents didn’t even bother with that...and so our ‘education system’ got hold of them, and now we see the results.

Good article. One of the reasons Trump could not win Virginia is a slew of boot lickers, lick spittles, door mats and assorted flunkies who work for the elite (although some of the flunkies voted Trump). These are not Rockefeller Republicans although their bosses might be. They are not just ensconced in government and government contractors, but many are in the giant non-governmental complex, even at places like Heritage and Cato.

Many others as the sultan points out are in the over moneyed wasteland that leaches off of high tech. If you have never used Facebook, find someone who does and go look at it. It is cesspool of fake news, celebrity drool,ads for sex, sorry, dating services and lots of other things you definitely do not need. The elite don't go there either, but their flunkies do and many of them love to wallow. Even the "professional" sites like LinkedIn are full of ads for Hillary and fake accounts created just to bash Trump.

Same as the globalists in Britain who were shocked last summer when the rest of the Brits, the ones without the weekend home in Spain, voted against globalism.
