Yup,we remember Mayor Doomberg. We remember the Election Night coverage where the chant of basically every English language network (including the BBC and the CBC) was “uneducated white males” once these networks realized that Trump just might win it.

To authoritarians like Bloomberg stability for the masses means that we give up our liberties and let them tell us how to live. Anyone who who accepts that is a worthless moron. And a pathetic human being.

Intelligentsia = Intellectuals
INTELLECTUAL (in-tel-LEK-shu-al) : An individual educated beyond his intelligence who is incapable of creating or providing any goods or services of value to others, who pontificates and expects to be paid for it, usually from public funds.

Trump was a smart rich guy from NYC who went to Wharton.
Maybe the voters were rebelling against socialism/fascism.
