A Series of Tweets from #LiberalElites

I’M A DEMOCRAT. I think. The lines seem so blurred these days. But I stand for America in all of its magnificent diversity. You might call me a liberal. And I’m okay with that. Means I champion Lady Liberalty. What I don’t feel great about is being pegged as “liberal elite.” I believe it’s the right’s way of saying, “Quit yer critical thinkin’ and yer educated assessin’ and git with the Confederacy.” Wait wait! I just sounded smarmy and snooty, like a liberal elitist. Sorry. But wait. Maybe I am liberal elite. Well sheeeeiiit! Whattya know. Guess I’ll have to start celebrating my liberal elitism with a hashtag…
