$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Newfie', 'A')re you supporting or refuting that point?
I'm trying to make the point that intellectuals and elitism go hand in hand. I do not despise the arts at all. But they are for everyone and everyone can participate in them to the degree of their interest in such.

OK, but I don’t think you are making the point effectively.

I guess you can just attribute that to me being one of those deplorable rednecks clinging to his religion and guns.

While Americans are busy absorbed in discord based on whether they are Republicans or Democrats, their politicians are becoming an entrenched kleptocracy. The system does not work if such brazen abuse as above happens without the prompt removal or incarceration of the thieving clowns for abuse of office. It is unreasonable, and against any concept of human rights to have to spend money and time to prove one's innocence or assert obvious standards in court. The logical conclusion of "let the courts decide" null-think is that eventually everyone who is not connected to the rotten elite will have to go to court over every trivial thing, like walking on municipal roads without a permit, etc. All sorts of tricks will be pulled to milk the proles. And life will degenerate into a nightmare of repression.

At this point its almost kinda cruel to watch Trump play the Dems and MSM...but they fall for the bait every time. It's like using a laser pointer to make a cat chase the light then slam him into the wall due to his target fixation again and again
So now Trump has the Dems saying they support rat infested neighborhoods for blacks to occupy in Baltimore. Last week the Dems came out in support the four crazy, stupid, racist, anti-Americans in Congress. Week before that they had to come out in support of a spoiled millionaire sports player who hates the US and the flag. Week before that Dems had to say they hate 4th of July celebrations. Not long ago Dems had to come out in full support of open borders, elimination of ICE and free health care for illegals while raising your taxes to pay for it. Plus many more examples with all the MSM using their shared outrage to give the Dems center spotlight in doing so.
Brilliant yet cruel to watch at this point.
I'm enjoying the show and it gets better every day as the left, just like the cat, run repeatedly into the same wall.

If Trump succeeds in waking up reflex partisan supporters of the D. Party from their dream-like bubble he will do his country a lot of good. At this stage these D. clowns should not hold any position of office and a new party should take over. Voting for them in the face of their brazen, insane behavior is just masochism.
All the D. Party "leftist" (cultural Trotskyist) positions are a scam. Illegals are a scam. Climate change is a scam. They are not happy with a system that puts financial constraints on them. They want "socialism" to do what they want. You can see this from the way they abuse their positions at all levels of government.

"Cultural Marxism" has fuck all to do with actual economic Marxism. The Democrats are basically extreme-right neo-Liberals on foreign and economic policy, almost indistinguishable from the neo-Conservative Republicans, but the Democrats distinguish themselves by being cultural Marxists. They are rabidly anti-free speech under the guise of supporting political correctness, and do everything they can to deny biological and physical differences between groups of people. But they are every bit as capitalistic and extreme as the Republicans when it comes to economic policy and support of aristocracy. It boggles the mind why the unrepresented left-wing in the U.S. supports the Democrats, as they have very little in common. In fact, Trump's platform during the 2016 (s)election was to the left of Hillary's when it came to economic issues, and Trump is rabidly right-wing, so it was quite amusing seeing all the left-wing snowflakes reduced to tears that their chosen Queen Tapeworm wasn't coronated as planned after the DNC rigged the primaries to keep Sanders out(Wikileaks released the emails proving this).
You can have your fascism with discrimination against white men(Democrats), or you can have your fascism with discrimination against minorities, immigrants, and women(Republicans), but you're never allowed to vote for a candidate that falls outside the narrow spectrum of ideals found between neo-Liberalism and neo-Conservatism, two extreme right-wing, totalitarian, fascist ideologies. Most of the American people fall outside of this narrow spectrum of ideologies, so it is no surprise that congress often has approval ratings in the single digits and increasing numbers of Americans no longer vote and feel as if their views and input doesn't matter.
In the meantime, no matter which party is in power, the consolidation of wealth into increasingly fewer hands at the expense of the rest of society, the militarized police state, the forever wars, the coddling of Wall Street, the endless purchasing of laws and policy by K-street lobbyists, the increasingly bloated size of government, the endless deficit spending and fiat money printing, the unconstitutional industrial-scale surveillance of everyone, the declining living standards for the common person, the unaccountable nature of the Deep State, all continues unchecked no matter how many Americans become frustrated and angry at it all. Americans pay the taxes, but the special interests get the representation, and cultural Marxism changes not a damned thing about it and only serves to further divide the American people along superficial lines.
Trumplet, Dumplet, toilet crumpet winning the 2016 (s)election did not occur in a vacuum. There's a deeply seated discontent with the status quo in this country, and it shows.

I think we tend to over think this.
On a simpler level far right/left views have taken in the mantle of religion. There are topics on both sides that are blasphemy to touch upon. I know, I regularly get roasted, port and starboard.
What we have is the makings of a RELIGIOUS war.

Excellent post in my opinion. Thank you.
