The Snobbish Elite

A long time ago I was a snob. My better educated than average parents lived on a working class street in a working class town. I’m not sure how the snobbism grew, perhaps by cultural osmosis, perhaps through microaggressive gestures, maybe clandestine dinner conversations, but I began to realize that I was better than the people around me. Not that it was overt, I tried to keep it hidden with only the occasional smirk and a gratifying smugness. And then …

I got a summer job working in the engineering department of the university with men who ran the boilers that kept the buildings warm through Canadian winters. I had that first year of higher education and these working class guys had apprenticeships and were working on their steam tickets. At first I felt that insufferable superiority, reinforced by their conversations that only had a limited number of (rude) adjectives and a whole lot of graphic sexual suggestions that withered my naive ears. But under this crudeness, I soon realized there was a quick, witty intelligence; no matter which topics, boilers, politics, women, unions, I was left in their intellectual wakes. I began to realize that there are different directions in life that intelligent people can take.

Since then I have worked with and talked to doctors and professors, loggers and lawyers, labourers and fishermen, politicians and programmers, teachers and mechanics, farmers and musicians, cleaners and realtors, contractors and carpenters … and I have found that there are bright witty minds in every group. Surprisingly the generally dullest people I met were those grad students pursuing their PhDs while I was working on mine. Perhaps this perception was because they were young and so focussed on trivial yet complex questions and were uninformed about more worldly problems. I have also found some doctors that work in small towns are also small-minded. Perhaps it is they feel like intellectual giants among those that don’t know an ACE inhibitor from a diuretic.

Teachers can also be incredible snobs, perhaps because they are ‘unsurprisingly’ intellectually superior to teenagers.

There is a tremendous snobbery among the elites who despise the deplorables. You know, those deplorables who build their homes, work the farms, drive and repair machines, mine coal, drill oil, catch fish … thousands upon thousands of jobs done with an expertise that creates our economy. Jobs that are the basis of society’s wealth, the wealth that pays politicians and builds and maintains universities.

Amazing that you can get your fine arts degree, be a comedian or spent your life as a lawyer or politician and think that you can write off all those who didn’t get the grades as if their contributions are irrelevant. You don’t have to like the opera or ballet, have a college degree or vote for a certain political party to be a valuable human being. Without those very people, dismissed as deplorables, the US would be a wasteland.

A wasteland as deplorable as late night comedians.

Bill Maher from the Gateway Pundit:

Bill Maher Insults Trump Supporters in Interview with James Carville – Says Trump Will Likely Beat Old Joe Biden in 2024 (VIDEO)

Tell us how you really feel, Bill.
During his latest “Club Random podcast, host Bill Maher invited Democrat strategist James Carville on to discuss the upcoming election.

During their conversation Bill Maher insulted the intelligence of Trump’s millions of committed supporters.

Bill Maher: “The people who go to the rallies are the worst. These are the people who when you said before some of them are deplorable. Yes, some of them are. I feel like those are the types who if you’re actually getting your ass out to go to a Trump rally, I mean, what, you don’t have the grades to get into the tractor pull?”

Bill’s talking about the poor working man and woman who love Trump. It’s not a stretch to say the elitist left has learned to hate them worse than Al-Qaeda.

But that was not all.

Maher later predicted that Old Joe will lose to President Trump in 2024.
They must be worried about their fraud machine not coming through for them like in 2020?

Bill Maher and James Carville share one major concern about Donald J. Trump. They both worry that there is a good chance he will win the 2024 presidential election. Discussing politics on Maher’s casual podcast “Club Random,” Carville said that, as a betting man, he sees “even odds” of Trump getting elected again.

Carville, a long-time Democratic political consultant and television commentator, said people in his party need to better understand that Trump’s appeal to so many Americans is that he is an alternative to extreme “wokeness” on the far left of the Democratic Party.

“People don’t like preachy people judging them,” Carville said.
