      Nah boss. When you start bringing that “elite” language you are very much making your stances clear. Elite is a dog whistle for democrats. Coastal elites, pick your poison. It’s right under the use of “woke” to put your beliefs on full display.

        I use words to convey the meaning of those words. I do not dog whistle cos im willing to say what i mean to say. I see no point in hiding behind soft language.

        Also how fucking self important do yoy have to be to think you know what someone is saying better than they do. Its condescending at best.

          So who are these elites that are telling us that billionaires shouldn’t spend their money in any way they see fit? I’m not self important, I’ve just seen this shit too many times where people try to hide their true feelings when they really wanna say something like “all these commie/socialist dems just want to steal these poor poor billionaires hard earned dollars to give to these welfare queens who aren’t job creators and just hold our great country back”.
