Tornado Alley (PROG)

Noted B402 flogs his elitism bs yet again. Forget an honest look at Trump's past and present policies. Forget Trump's elitism, the worst of any kind.

"The next four years will be about survival. If his economic plans are instituted, economists warn that we face dire times. If his health insurance plans are carried out, many will be without insurance. If his plans to protect women against their will (leave it to a sexual predator to phrase it that way) are realized, women will slip further into second-class citizenry. Christianity will be shoved down our throats by the most unChristian man in the country."

Exactly. You are right, B402's bullshit is anti-education, anti-dedication and anti-success. Your comments here are spot on:

I don't take the pejorative view of the 'elite' as you do. And I don't take Jabbar's background as disqualifications of his opinions. Not living among the 'commoners' does not preclude learning about the problems of the commoners. Nor does living among them assure understanding of commoner problems.

FDR, JFK, LBJ, Clinton and Obama were all elites, and yet their Bills, their economies, did more to help more commoners than the GOP has done with their too numerous recessions, junk economics and junk science.

Really, RFK Jr. in charge of HHS? Hell, why not the CDC?

I view resentment of elites as resentment of education and expertise; both of which we demand of MDs, engineers and airline pilots. Ever know anyone who strived for mediocrity?

To all, enjoy your Sunday.
