"For Democratic elitists like Glaude, he's dedicated his life to a theory surrounding the American people but he doesn't give the same depth of investment by being around the American people. He's a product of the academic bubble that theorizes about humans instead of interacting."
That makes a lot of sense. And I feel like many people who voted for Trump this time have come to recognize how out of touch with the average American these political pundits are.
Great take on the phenomenon of blind adherence to ideology. They cannot see their own ship sinking, even as they wildly bail with pails of distain for those they believe beneath them.
Lilly Tang Williams said to the lady she was debating about helping the poor and middle class. You are worth 30 million dollars and know nothing about the poor or middle class.
I love how Glaude accidentally confesses his intellectual incapacity to have an insight that undermines the theoretical foundation of his entire career.
"I do not believe that. I CAN NOT believe that."
Then he does that creepy projection move that proggos compulsively where they attribute their own motives to others to progsplain to them why they disagree with the self-evident truth.
"And the reason I think you believe that is that you don't want to believe that is what's really motivating them!"
If normal non-vicious human motivations like being able to afford eggs and housing are what is motivating everyday people -- and not vicious bigotry -- that man and innumerable other laborers in the grievance-industrial complex will be out of work, and maybe struggling to afford eggs and housing.
Watching that clip was eye opening. His like minded fellow posits a reason for the Dem loss and Glaude totally dismisses her suggestion. Why? Because the only possible explanation is that the voters are too stupid to realize that they are all, blacks, browns, whites, men, and women, racists at heart. He seriously believes that the exit polled voters were either liars or ignorant of their true motives. I've heard of elitist thinking but never viewed that particular type of insanity in action. (I only went as far as Junior College, so I missed the University thinking) Wow. Just, wow.
It's important to note the great enablers, the Progressive media. The NYT, NPR and their ilk curate and manipulate the news these people receive in an effort to shape their beliefs. The media, public schools, higher ed, and many NGOs are all telling you that you are morally superior and "they" are ignorant and bigoted. People get very comfortable being arrogant and judgmental when their social and professional environments promote the good people/bad people dichotomy. The "good" people put up "In this house we believe" yard signs and constantly remind one another that they are obviously correct about even the most inane and offensive ideas about race, gender, immigration, and criminal justice. Trump absolutely fuels this irrational bias by being offensive and ridiculous in equal measures. His character and conduct are not what anyone should want in a president. For me it's a lesser of two evils situation, but I doubt that Progressives will learn anything from this.
Exactly what you said. I will add that both sides have thrived on divide and conquer for far too long, but one side (Trump) figured out WE share common interests and built his coalition, dragging some kicking and screaming republicans along the way. I'm already hearing rumors a few holdouts are trying to undermine him. We the People have to have his back and say "No more!"
The top is the echo chamber, and they cannot survive the collapse of the structure. The good news is some of the people who were starting to be sucked in escaped.
I watch that professor speak, and I feel sorry for him...he lives in an absolutely hopeless illusion, wholly unaware of reality. He has a 'better external' life than me and tens of millions of people in this country, but he suffers and causes others to suffer around him because of his delusions. He divides people on a grand scale; he believes himself to be the healer, a belief that is as misguided as it is damaging, while carving away any wounds trying to heal.
Like most liberals, Glaude is mired in the philosophy of victimhood. His myopic view of the world sees only victims and victimizers and anyone who doesn’t share his ideology and is successful is surely a victimizer.
Mind if I add something? I am seeing a lot of crap being made by Democrat leadership about how Harris “pivoted to the center”. You don’t just get to rewrite reality four months before an election. “I believe in border security!” Oh? Why did you pretend the border was not an issue for four years? “I have a Glock!” You are also someone who has supported every single bit of gun control throughout your career. You even tried to literally get Glocks banned when you were a San Francisco D.A.. “We have tackled inflation!” No you did not and for the longest time you refused to acknowledge it existed. Voters can tell when you are magically reinventing yourself. If you want to run someone with a different track on issues I would recommend not going with someone who already has an airport terminal’s worth of baggage.
We don't think he was legitimately convicted. They promised to convict him of something, anything and then tried to find a law he broke. Then they twisted the law to get a conviction. We heard what he said about women allowing themselves to be grabbed by rich and powerful men. We are completely sick of Democrat lies and cheating.
When you say that all you see is a party of dehydrated fools, some of that may reflect your new information environment. I don’t disagree with you about Glaude and what he represents, or the need for Democrats to change and embrace humility. But Glaude is not necessarily representative of the attitude of all Democrats. See Seth Moulton and Richie Torres for counterexamples. I think one big problem is that people now marinate in a sea of anecdotes that are designed to reinforce their priors. So if all you see are clips like this from Eddie Glaud, then it’s easy to buy into a narrative that suggests his reaction is universal.
I'm being mildly hyperbolic but the most prominent democrat pundits and politicians have been echoing elitist and foolish talking points for years now.
I'm familiar with Richie Torres but he's the outlier these days (at least publicly saying normal stuff as a Democrat.) The rest are scared and bend the knee to foolish concepts.
I'm well aware of propaganda and echo chamber beliefs, which is why I refused to give a solid prediction on the election. Our media is so split and biased that it's hard to tell what is real information wise. This is why I look at behavior, rhetoric and messaging and measure it against the "normie" world I'm familiar with.
That man lying about Trump, ignoring the reality of the democrat party and refusing to consider that there might be valid reasons for our rejection of his party is projecting his bigotry, and frankly why we might be facing a civil war.

I saw her debate online too lol
She was destroying her.
Failure to understand Maslow's Hierarchy will f8ck you every time.

May your work and words spread far and wide. I appreciate you and the significant contribution you make to the whole.
I appreciate your continued support!

Ken, it really is daunting to watch...which is exactly why I saved it to talk about it. He said the quiet parts out loud.
He REFUSES to hear the common sense answer and verbalizes it. The answer is in his face and won't accept it. Loser mindset.

Very well said. Some have learned...
Some voters but the top is playing the blame game.
The top is the echo chamber, and they cannot survive the collapse of the structure. The good news is some of the people who were starting to be sucked in escaped.

Remember, Hitler thought he was the good guy.
You can’t make that horse drink, and you can’t make those people think.

It's sad but true.
