Yeah I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I’m born and raised in a small town basically right next to the Appalachian mountains. My job is representing the blue collar workers in that town against insurance companies. So I spend all day everyday having extensive conversations with farmers, factory workers, construction workers, general laborers, etc.

Most folks I know on the left when to fancy schools, as I also did, before returning to my hometown area, and have zero adjacency either in their past or their present to working folks. But nevertheless they opine on their well-being and purport to know their interests as pretty much a pillar of their politics.

It’s a performative caring most of the time, but ultimately empty and untethered.

Pretty crazy to watch. It especially annoys me in the area of journalism. These elite grads who are doing the job of propagandist under the guise of truth telling. It puts a nasty taste in your mouth.
