Thanks SJackson.
Liel Leibovitz: I watched the second night of the Republican National Convention the same way you fall in love or go bankrupt: gradually, but then suddenly stricken by a strange and somewhat inexplicable premonition. It was this: Donald John Trump is going to win in November, and win big... it's becoming increasingly more clear that the Democrats' real problem isn't the party's aging candidate or its rambunctious left flank but, rather, its relationship with reality itself... That leaves us with the DNC's heavy schmear of identity politics, a sentiment that doubtless resonates with the party's educated, affluent base but says very little to those weary Americans who wonder why their cities are burning and why on earth anyone would ever want to defund the police.
The author still manages to regurgitate some of the very same false talking points that pass for thinking among people who regard themselves as more educated than the Deplorables.
Why do wealthy people who are educated at good colleges, many with business, engineering or science degrees....a lot in my town, in fact here in the Bay Area....vote Democrat?
Why do they want a system that would not allow them to prosper? Why would they let crime and lawlessness fester?
It boggles the mind.
