Most Americans don’t live their lives glued to talk radio and opinionated cable news channels. They’ve got kids and work to deal with. Every now and then, though, they get exposed to the deep blue bubble that would like to rule over them.
Recently, a curtain was pulled back showing the type of people inhabiting the dark blue abbeys of academia when 3 left-liberal profs traipsed before the Nadler impeachment tribunal to bellow their disgust for Trump. One of them, Pamela Karla of Stanford Law, punctuated her talk with a well-rehearsed quip dragging Trump’s 13-year-old son into her allegation of Trump’s so-called monarchical tendencies (see below).
Obnoxious, for making Trump’s young son a tag line? Yes, to anyone outside the blue bubble; not so for people who spend their lives thinking and living within one.
The gag would be cute before the captured audiences of her classroom and faculty lounges. It’s tone deaf to normal people. Once again, we get another example of the strange people who are nurtured in the narrow confines of the academic Versailles (a more accurate monarchical allusion) that dot our landscape.
