I will bring up the American election as with that line, the parallel is evident. Many Democrats, especially the Elites (both in politics and the talking head types) are blaming EVERYONE ELSE for their failure for not voting the way they dictated (and expected). Words like xenophobics, transphobics, misogynists, racists, white supremacists, et al, are being hurled in wide (and wild) abandon.
They have no clue except for a few that have calmly said "you're out of touch with your voters". Of course, they are being roundly excoriated for saying, what I believe, to be the truth. Yet, that IS the truth of the matter.
And you are now doing the same thing by calling everyone that doesn't agree with you "Know Nothings" to salve your feelings that you are not in the majority. Yet, Bob, VB, Coj1, and I have been warning you of this for quite some time. We've even offered you good advice, being your "Loyal Opposition", but it has gone unheeded.
Introspection, my man, introspection. Why AREN'T you reaching your target audience to persuade minds and hearts? Maybe because all what they are hearing are the same words that Hillary once said "We’re going to take things away from you” – Hillary Clinton, June 2004.
They don't want to hear "Have less, do less, be less" to make their betters feel even better about the yokes they are trying to place upon them, the plebes.
I have had more letters and nice comments about this post than any others I have written for a while. Now I wake up on my birthday to all of this. I think my present to myself today is to say I do not have to put up with this anymore.
I didn't know it was your birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Lloyd, I have tried hard to write nicely but firmly. You posited a fact, I have merely replied to it. In fact, I've replied FAR more politely than the Wild Wild West days of Treehugger in a far more studied fashion.
But when you write "politically", did you not think that others would respond in a similar manner?
"They are also going to fight know-nothingism."

I am going to figure out how to block (never done it) and will refund you your subscription. I have had enough.
You don't need to bother to learn how to do it - and you can keep the money.
I will honor your request to leave and not return.

thanks for the birthday greetings.
