Something very interesting in that video. Look at the background crowd.

He has dropped any semblance of broad base. Gone are the women and blacks. This is full on the appeal to the Proud Boys crowd, a field of dullards.

Also note that with this crowd, he's no longer using all the handheld Trump signs. I'm still riddling on that one. I doubt it's because he would be bashful about the visual of the signs being held by thugs.

In the 1960s, CEOs made 20 times the pay of their workers.

Now, they rake in over 300 times.

When people stop believing they have a fair chance to make it, the tacit social contract begins to unravel.

That's how a nation becomes susceptible to demagogues like Donald Trump.

The same covenant applies to the Supreme Court. They have no inherent enforcement power. All they have is the tacit agreement of law enforcement and lower courts to follow them.

That social contract is fraying, at the same time. And the demagogues precede the effective dissolution of the Constitution.

When I say, Eat The Rich, I am being metaphorical. TO A POINT.

Please pass the catsup!

How did Red Green put it?

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy?

I'll go with W. C. Fields on the subject.
