The Bluegeoisie<\/a><\/p>\n

THERE\u2019S a neologism that ought to stick. From\u00a0@CliftonDuncan<\/a>\u00a0on X:<\/p>\n

The Bluegeoisie can never come back to the center.<\/p>\n

Everyone is now fully aware of how contemptuous, how bereft of common sense, how dishonest and incompetent they are. It won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

They can never build \u201ctheir own Joe Rogan.\u201d The notion is ridiculous\u2013not just because it evinces their tendency toward top-down control, but because their cult renders intellectual, political and philosophical exploration outside of narrow ideological parameters impossible.<\/p>\n

These people have psychotic meltdowns, blacklist peers, and cut off relatives over politics. They\u2019re incapable of empathizing with anyone outside their congregation.<\/p>\n

For all their fetishizing of credentials, their masturbatory exaltation of their educations, they\u2019re violently allergic to intellectual curiosity\u2013how on earth COULD they \u201cbuild\u201d their own Rogan, or a Lex Fridman, whose curiosity and openness are part of their brand?<\/p>\n

How COULD they lower themselves to understand why they\u2019re so despised?<\/p>\n

Look at these people now, a month out from the election. They\u2019re losers who are still lost, liars who keep lying. They\u2019re throwing tantrums. Pointing fingers. Doubling and tripling down. The lack of reflection is astonishing.<\/p>\n

They haven\u2019t learned anything because they can\u2019t learn anything. Learning would threaten their careers, reputations and relationships. Learning would require them to abandon the hubris that defines them.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll never do that.<\/p>\n

And even if they did, who would believe them, or be willing to listen, after they spent decades calling everyone racists and sexists, fascists and Nazis? Who\u2019s going to forget such long-term abuse and slander?<\/p>\n

We know power corrupts. The pendulum has now swung forcefully in a different direction. We need strong, sensible, rational opposition to check the excesses of those now assuming power.<\/p>\n

Where the hell is it going to come from?<\/p>\n

Excellent observation, and good question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
