    Dear Watson,

    I think the first sentence pretty much sums it up for me and the context that I am using it. 

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elitism

    A few examples if I may,

    "They cling to their guns and religion"
    "Basket of deplorables"
    "Anybody that votes for Trump is a scumbag"
    #Standuptostupid
    And pretty much every other post on the AMT since November 2016, including plenty of my own

    Is this where I put in my patented lol?

    Maybe here? lol

    Don't worry Watson, I still have a place for you in my heart. *big hug*

    lol

    Is this where we split hairs about what elitism is, break it down with a 7 paragraph post, and bring in spreadsheets full of data and cool looking diagrams?

    I’d love to hear what those using the term “elitist” in a derogatory manner think it means. Please, define it for me, the not the smartest guy in the room guy.

    ”I love the uneducated.”
    "Poorly educated"
    Hey, don’t call Halifax poorly educated! ;)

    Had to correct him because that line is one of my three favorite Trump quotes...

    - "We won with the highly educated. We won with the poorly educated...I love the poorly educated!"

    - "We have delivered on more promises than we even promised! I call that overpromising." 

    - "I told Sean Hannity that I oppose the war in Iraq. But nobody wants to call Sean Hannity and ask him! Call Sean, he'll tell you!"  (Mind you he didn't say this on Hannity's show, he claims to have said it to Hannity in private.)

    "Poorly educated"

    Thanks for the correction. Its difficult remembering all the Gold quotes. Maybe someone could define "poorly educated" for me. Is it a 6th grade education level attainment? Some high school but didn't graduate? D student through college? Or is it a dog whistle reference to poor performing school districts?

    Demographically speaking - some high school. Occasionally it includes those with a high school degree. (At least when I used to work in market research).

    "They cling to their guns and religion"

    An accurate comment from obama accurately noting trends of conservative voters


    "Basket of deplorables"

    A horrible comment from a horrible candidate. But this is an isolated comment.


    "Anybody that votes for Trump is a scumbag"
    #Standuptostupid

    Not familiar with these two as they appear to be isolated comments


    The obvious difference is since obama first ran for president, conservative media and leaders have been vilifying democrats, most commonly by calling us socialists.

    The magabomber suspect has been linked to the phrase "kill all socialists."

    "Poorly educated"

    Thanks for the correction. Its difficult remembering all the Gold quotes. Maybe someone could define "poorly educated" for me. Is it a 6th grade education level attainment? Some high school but didn't graduate? D student through college? Or is it a dog whistle reference to poor performing school districts?
    Demographically speaking - some high school. Occasionally it includes those with a high school degree. (At least when I used to work in market research).
    Pretty sure it includes people with degrees from liberal arts colleges as well. ;)
    I see what you did there. But strictly speaking as a person who was a research director - college is not included in poorly educated, regardless of its persuasion.  :nuh_uh:

    Demographically speaking - someone who has not graduated from high school  votes, spends, consumes, subscribes, lives....differently than someone with a college degree - even in Italian Art. Actually someone with a BA in Italian Art would be extremely different in their spending, consuming, thinking, voting than someone who didn't graduate high school. Not a judgement on either - just a fact of how information is gathered and what it says.

    Give him Baby Duck and he'd be thinking he was drinking a royal reserve.

    Well, if I studied history, 6 bottles = 6 glasses each bottle, each glass requires 3 cubes each so 10,800. Sounds about right.

    Halifax covered it.

    But I like the suggestion earlier for you: make a squishy... or margarita out of your wine with that ice you love so much!

    * I'm enjoying a nice IPA from a local microbrewery (they filled my growler for me) and awaiting 'skip the dishes'. Got flat out, gawddamn overruled on pizza by the family. And I paid. Geezuz.
