Re:Kavanaugh Maybe the "elite" are different.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I grew up in a working class/lower middle class suburb in the 70s and 80s. None of my friend's dads wore ties to work. They were construction workers, janitors, automotive tools salespersons, and sheriffs. My dad put up road signs. We partied and at the parties there was beer, alcohol, and of course weed. Some people hooked up at those parties but if a guy got rapey like it is alleged Bart O' Kavanaugh did , the guys at the party wouldn't have cheered him on. They would have beat his ass.

1. I grew up in the same era...

and yes, my friends would have beat his ass...

2. The lust for power by the privileged trumps shame. n/t

3. One of many ironies here

is that the Trumpsters continually rail against "the elites"--but everything about this administration and this nomination screams elitism. Georgetown Prep is about as elitist as you can get. The backgrounds of all these people have so little to do with the life experience of the vast majority of the American people.
