I am garbage

I like to think I am not too old to learn a new strategy. So, I paid close attention and asked myself why would someone hope to convince a voter to possibly change sides by suggesting they are garbage? You can tell I AM GARBAGE and was not likely to become a turncoat, but still, why go on TV and call Gen Z's stupid, why call Hispanic and Black men mysoginist? The only reason I can fathom is an incredible level of arrogance, a belief so great of one's moral superiority, a claim to one's superior intelligence and education that divides "us the morally superior" from "them the garbage". 

That line of thinking started in 2015 with Hillary's claim that all "the college-educated" were on her side. Oops, not all were then, but from her loss, she and her ilk learned nothing. So Kamala served word salads to the same crowd with a few insults for spice. Even the college-educated found the salads lacking and sided and went for garbage.

One wonders if the genius class of Van Jones, Dana Bash, Jim Acosta, Anderson Cooper, etc, the list goes on across all networks, are low IQ impostors. But meritocracy, the little that still exists, has been around long, so that option is unlikely. What then? Arrogance is the likely answer. If your head is far enough up there, you can believe enough in your superior intellect and morality to actually try to compete with Don Lemon for the prize. And thanks to Obama's freedom to do propaganda at scale for years, the geniuses lost track that the garbage was not following instructions, was developing an independent mind snooping reality on X. Oops.

And so the surprise came. They did not take out the garbage, the garbage took them out. And that was the night that Woke died.
