It seems to me a very good thing that the Left psuedo-aristocratic culture insists upon constructing a reality that utterly excludes the beliefs and experiences of conservatives and, increasingly, Americans of basic common sense and decency.

In the late 19th and early 20th century in Europe, a lot of youngsters read Nietzsche and, as one author put it, after reading him, “There was no small attorney’s son or small farmer’s daughter who had been to a school where their parents had to pay, or had studied painting or music, who did not imagine themselves barons or baronesses, on the spot.”

Substitute Chomsky for Nietzsche and “intellectuals” for “barons and baronesses” and you have the same phenomenon happening among college students in America.
