20190505-Wake up and See the Martians J. M. Greer has (again!) put up an insightful analysis of the reaction of the US Bi-Coastal Democrats to the Donald Trump presidency.

He names the beneficiaries of our current social arrangement as “Privileged Progressives.” These are upper-income people who make most of their money from salaries and/or investment income. Almost every new law or proposal enacted today benefits them, and makes the rest of us a little poorer or takes power and resources away. Amazing, and spot-on. It reminds me of the movie, “Mars Attacks.” Everywhere they go, the Martians shout through megaphones, “We come in peace,” or “We want to be your friends,” but then they blast any humans in reach with ray guns.
