There's a big argument to be made that Trumpism is a revolt of America's hereditary elites who are apoplectic that the beginnings of a true meritocracy threatened to replace some of them.
The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

My catholic friends.... Does this end in excommunication?
Seems like the rebukes by church officials are growing in volume and severity and from groups in the church that I would not expect, like USCCB.
They don't usually excommunicate the lay people but would they sanction policy makers?

Its wild to complain about people being angry you ignored the extremely blatant connection between trump and Epstein and you defend it by posting an article with 0 mention of trump.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.
