    have to live amongst the people that hate what’s going on?

    i don’t think so. you don’t attain to a position that high in the state government without having resources/connections (read fucktons of money), which means you don’t have to live around or even look at the poors

        progressive people want someone who’s smarter than themselves to lead. conservatives want someone who’s exactly as dumb as they are. which is, as you say: really really fucking pants-on-head stupid

        this is also why words like “progress,” “education,” “expert,” even “science” have become pejoratives to them
