Bill Maher says it'd be worth living through a recession to get rid of Trump.

Of course he would!

We now have a managerial, political-media class that is completely out of touch with America...except as a theoretical construct.

The outrage over Chris "Fredo" Cuomo WASN'T his "breaking bad" and making a fool of himself, it was that he apparently had to resort to a stereotype to "appear like a 'regular Joe, Italian-American' guy," so he started dropping F bombs and calling critics "punk bitches," because THAT'S how Italians are portrayed on film. (https://youtu.be/2NAwowhwi9c)

Hint, real working class Italians, Irish, blacks, etc. DON'T frequent Fire Island all that much.

The idiocy came with his calling "Fredo," the "Italian N word." There IS no "Italian N word," no Jewish, Irish, Asian or Hispanic "N word." There are slurs/insults for every group, the term Cuomo compared "Fredo" to was one meant NOT merely to insult, but to dehumanize an entire group.

In making that comparison, he cemented himself as..."Fredo."

Ironically enough, he slurred his "own people" (Italians) by preening, or aping Hollywood's Italian-American stereotypes.

That ("my people"/"your people") is a tell. A nod to the Identity Politics of the Democrats. I'm a Nationalist, but I respect others who are different. In fact, I believe those differences are important. Cuomo's "my people," reference might give insight into why so many white "Progressives" become white supremacists, like Jason Kessler (a former Obama volunteer and Occupy Wall Street activist) and Richard Spencer (whose favorite politicians are all big government Liberal Democrats).

I especially liked the ending, where the little old guy, half their size, jumps in yelling, "I'm gonna break this up!"

Funny stuff.

I get the distinct impression that almost all of the established political-media class ("the squad" aren't establishment) have to fake being black, Irish, Italian, Midwestern, Jewish, etc., because they've been away from it for so long, looked down on us for so long, that they forget what real people are like.

That's a clue as to why so many Americans DESPISE them.

Cuomo's not the only member of that managerial class to lose touch. Maxine Waters has no trouble shamelessly "acting street," despite her own blue chip lifestyle, "Waters...used her position on the House Financial Services Committee to get officials to meet with OneUnited Bank and also help deliver $12 million in funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to the bank. Her husband had been a director at the bank and held hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in the company, and several of the bank’s executives had cut campaign checks to her..."

Sid Williams, her husband, has long served on the Board of Directors of OneUnited Bank, the largest black owned bank in America.

Hardly "street." Certainly no more so than Chris "Fredo" Cuomo is a regular "Italian-American" guy.
