I hate giving the Slimes any clicks, but Edsall’s article is an interesting read. Basically it says the upwardly mobile Zuckerberg Techies who are taking over big blue cities are hypocrites when it comes to living up to their own expressed Liberal values on redistributing wealth.
This is opening chasms between themselves and the poorer, minority parts of the Left Coalition that could rip it apart.
I think it goes hand in hand. Rich Marxists ( I refuse to call them Democrats) know the wealth gap is huge. They justify their high tax and spend policies because they FEAR what those poor people might do to them in the future. They pose and virtue signal to deflect being recognized as the 1%. Being so wealthy, they can afford homes in other countries if massive rioting breaks out, form “foundations” and “charities” to make it appear that they’re helping the poor when they’re really using them as tax shelters.
Rip left coalition apart?
That is why I urge FReepers, TeaPartiers, AFPer, 912ers, to reach out and knock on the doors of those who are not hard red. Like any good salesman you may only get 5% or 10% at first. But that small amount makes the difference in a close race.
Most importantly, it totally changes and confuses the enemy.
