As a follow-up to my "What Bubble" post, here is a quote from a New York Times today.
Ms. Claveria said she was worried about what would happen during a Biden presidency. Mr. Biden, she said, “is basically planning to get rid of personal property and all of our freedoms.”
Mr. Trump is trying to stop that, she added, but every institution has obstructed him.
“I think it’s a big coup against our country,” she said. “The F.B.I.’s involved. So is the C.I.A. It’s crazy — even the judges!
This is the kind of batshit craziness expressed by millions of Trump supporters every day (and not just since the election). It has become the rule rather that the exception among Republicans. Unlike what is described in this article, I know a lot of them personally. But I am a coastal elitist in a bubble because I don't express understanding and sympathy for these "real Americans". If that makes me an elitist then I proudly say "guilty as charged".
