Has SU always been this anti-elitist? Didn't he used to be a patron of the ballet? How did he become so MAGA?

"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostIt feels so good to be white and rich and live and work in an all-white enclave with other rich people--and be leftist. It's like bearing your testimony. PAC and Elizabeth Warren need to start giving it all away to the poor.
In the hope you’ll move on to more deserving targets, I’ll note that you are wealthier than I and I’d guess you hang out with a more elitist crowd than I do. In the past twelve presidential elections I have voted for ten Republicans, one Democrat (Obama, a vote I do not regret, as the thought of a President Palin still makes my right eye twitch), and one independent (I would have voted for pretty much anyone other than Trump). I enjoy George Will’s columns, and my two most recent policy reads (and with which I largely agree) are Jonah Goldberg’s Suicide of the West and The Cato Institute’s Overcharged (a libertarian take on health care that also rips on the idea of single payer). I would never vote for Warren, AOC or Bernie (though I think Bernie has more intellectual honesty than most candidates). But I do loathe Trump and believe that he has caused terrible harm to genuine conservative principles. I’m surprised you rush to his defense.
You should consider buying the rights to Walter Sobchak’s moniker since, like you, the movie character was always entertaining, even though he was enthusiastically and artfully bashing in the wrong car.

That you took apparent umbrage at a mild shot about Trump’s work habits is weird, but I suspect you were just itching to unload, so I understand. Glad I didn’t mock his hair, lest I really provoke you.
