Yeah, true dat....
How revolting are they?
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.
“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.
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.
As Mel Brooks said, "I agree, they stink on ice."
Tree. Rope. Journalists.
Some assembly required.

Revolting as hell.
