The guy grew up in prep schools and getting and doing whatever he wanted. Of course he sees his minnions as low-class.

They do the bidding of a leader who can't stand them.

Who did he think would show up? He has been to his own rallies, has he not?

What was the old American punishment for treason, the short drop and the crack of the neck.

So here's a link to the archive page of the plans for the march (original has been deleted), and is calls for 'MAGA Casual Attire'. Can't believe that they didn't up it to MAGA formalwear for such an important occasion.

The fact that they are crying like a 3 year old who had his lolli taken away just makes it all the sweeter.


The fact they also proved that white privilege and systemic racism extend to “invade capitol without getting shot” is also kind of scary but I’m trying to focus on the positives right now.
To me the Elizabeth wasn’t ready for the revolution video and the guy who got put on the no fly list video are the perfect definition of white privilege. They are genuinely shocked that participating in an armed attack on the seat of government during a transfer of power would have consequences.

Strange, I've always thought of Trump and his family as low-class. The way that they act, speak and have a reality show that aired right after 16 and Pregnant. They just happened to have money, but those are two separate things.

Plus the obsession with shows of wealth and gaudy ####. They reek of new money or fake wealth.

Trump always reminded me of Kent Brockman when he won the lottery or one of those Middle East dudes who has a gold plated Lamborghini who everyone laughs at.

People with real wealth are never that desperate to prove they are rich because they know only low class losers are impressed by that #### (not to say all low class people are losers)..

John Mulaney put it best: Donald Trump is what a hobo imagines a rich man to be.

Man, did these people skip their teenage years? Usually around that time people learn that there are consequences to things like misbehaving, vandalizing or bullying.

To see how shocked and butthurt they are that they couldn't violently riot and storm a government building and then just go home again no harm no foul is pretty special.

Amazing that there was exactly zero thought put into something that required travel and effort.

And that many filmed themselves in the act on top of it.

Literally human pawns/minions. They can't think for themselves. They'd run through a minefield for the orange man.

Nouveau Riche yes. They are crass, tasteless, and don't fit in with other money'd individuals.

Bourgeois, I would say is typified by the pseudo-intellectualism of those with the leisure time to be informed, but lacking the clout to be influential. CP is the Bourgeoisie. I'm not sure if there is a Trump (save for Mary), that can pronounce the word intellectualism.
