A glaring sign of our intelligentsia's decrepitude is their absolute lack of interest in understanding either the Brexit vote or the election of Donald Trump. With a few notable exceptions, those who claim to spend their lives doing the public "thinking" that must surely require higher faculties than possessed by common people, have shown no intellectual curiosity for the social shifts of our day. You would think people who do thinking for a living would find the events in the U.K. and the U.S. fascinating and historically compelling, if for no other reason than that neither outcome was expected by the public intellectuals themselves.

The elites don't care to understand either the Brexit vote or the election of Donald Trump. They know these events signal a reduction and threat to their power and that is what has them launching attacks. Interestingly these attacks have been counter productive because it has resulted in the awakening of many of the "deplorables."

Thank you for making this a Must Read. Not only has J.B. Shurk served us red meat and flavorful vegetables, he has provided a sweet breath of freedom for dessert. He has truly captured the marching orders and troop movement of the intelligentsia. One more thing, he has pointed a laser on the ''Boo Game'' the left uses of Russia to scare us over to their losing side. Hell no, I won't go!

They aren’t “intellectuals” or “thinkers”; they are anti-American leftists.

Hillary has already given her answer by calling us a basket of deplorables. Then there is the Mulatto Lightgiver lamenting people who cling to God and Guns. Oh they understand all right. It is their ignorance but hubris and contempt that is driving such comments. Can't wait for 11/03/20.

One of the best things to have happened in the Trump presidency so far to my mind is that he destroyed the decades of work by the globalist Poppy Bush before Poppy died. For some reason, him witnessing the destruction of that noxious legacy of his before he died brought me great satisfaction. Also the purge of all those Saudis by the King and his CP heir also made me happy. Trump pulled the plug on a whole lot of Deep State off the books funding that most people don't realize the extent of just how important his visit to the Saudis was. Trump has done more to right the ship named America than most people realize unless they dig out the info. Doesn't surprise me the elites loathe him, for he is destroying their evil plans.
Right now I do feel bad for the Brits, for they are getting treated rotten by their Parliament. I suspect Brexit to them means that after so many years of earning their allotment for being in Parliament rubber stamping Brussels, they will have to actually start doing their job again, making important decisions for the nation. If the Queen really wanted to, she could drop a well placed comment about Brexit that would light a fire under the fools now in office.

Easy prosperity breeds contempt for others. Life is easy; conflict is bothersome; "hate" is loathesome. Stamp it all out. Many agree...

I don't want the Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, George Kent or Vindman types ruining my life. Individuals can order up their own dinners. We don't need this crowd.

FTA - "So when the public intellectuals convince the public to vote according to their worldview, this popular election is called "democracy in action." When the public votes against the public intellectuals, this signifies that the public put the interests of the population ahead of the "thinkers" and must therefore be grounded in the old primordial goo of tribalism and hatred that afflicts the public, generally, but from which the public intellectuals can elevate us, should we simply heed their instructions."
Our deep state, msm, and new world order think they have us over a barrel. Not. Look around the world and witness the many other countries where the populations are "woke".

I travel around the world and everywhere I go people ask me about Donald Trump. They're fascinated by the rise of our "man of the people," as opposed to the "professional politicians" they're used to having. As I've posted here before, there's a "Populism Movement" going on globally, as evidenced by news out of Great Britain, Hong Kong, France, Brazil and others. Around the world, Donald Trump is looked to as what others want in their leaders. They want to know how the can find their own "Donald Trump" too.

I love that word, "decrepitude." Those who are attempting to "fundamentally transform" America are pushing old Utopian ideas on those who have already figured out their plan and will resist it with everything they have. We see them for the delusional dreamers that they are. At this point in time, America was supposed to be unarmed, devoid of religion, under the control of either a radicalized dictator or a woman who was elevated to the level of Queen and who, in turn reported to the Grand Poobah of the United Nations. American taxpayers would be sending money by the ton to aforementioned Poobah who would keep most of it and send just enough to the third world ignorati to keep them quiet. Those who could afford cars would be driving little electric toys and the rest would be crowded onto mass transportation if they absolutely had to leave their cities and had the proper papers to do so. The American population would be a majority mixture of Central and South American, Middle Eastern, African and European immigrants who could just walk in and take what they like. Only whites would be required to work because of unfair past privilege. Education would consist of learning the rewritten history of a world that was born out of the chaos of freedom. We are awake and they are failing. The rest of the world sees what we have and are simultaneously jealous, envious and full of hate. The elites don't know how to recover their dream so they resort to propaganda, riots, show trials, abuse of honest citizens or anybody who disagrees with them. Dissenters would be put to death. How dare we not see it their way.

After initially supporting our British cousins in their attempt to exit the EU, I have come to believe that an exit is not the best solution, either by a hard break-out or a negotiated exit. The reason is that both leave the EU in place, just minus the Brits. I believe a better solution would be for the elected (key concept here) governments of the EU member countries to remake the EU.
I suggest transforming it from an unelected central authority that bullies its member countries' citizens and answers to no one, into simply a multilateral trade arrangement along the lines of the USMCA. The experiment in abandoning national sovereignty into an unelected and unanswerable centralized authority should be recognized as a failure, but the idea of building upon European cultural commonalities should continue to be explored. Trade is the logical first step, and may in the end prove to be the limit of its expression.
