It's a two-fer
The Republican Party's idea of a balanced ticket...
Trump’s alliance with Vance is a good demonstration of how prurient & sexualizing misogyny, like Trump’s, is codependent with puritanical & traditionalist misogyny, like Vance’s.

No wonder people think Dems are condescending. I'm a college educated, middle aged moderate liberal and I had to google what the heck "prurient" and "puritanical" meant. After learning their meaning however, I do agree.
ReplyDeleteA person is not condescending because they use words that you don't understand. In fact, it's just the opposite.
DeleteSorry that big words scare you, bud.
DeleteWhen having and using an adult vocabulary is translated as condescending, you are talking to a person who (whether they realize it or not) is biased against education.
DeleteCan we stop dumbing shit down please? How about people look up words they don't understand, or attempt to understand them in the context which they are observed? Is this not taught in school anymore?
Went to college on a Football Scholarship?
ReplyDeleteI apologize I have always been naturally condescending even though my roots are pure white trash. Still in High School I wouldn't have had to look up 'Puritanical' since we had to read 'The Scarlet Letter' in freshman English. I'll give you 'Prurient' but it is the kind of word that pretty much means the way it sounds. My college education was at a State College that I attended while living at home and paying my tuition through a minimum wage job which was possible in the early 70's.
ReplyDeleteYou can still pay your state tuition with a minimum wage job. I did it three years ago.
DeleteWell that's good to know. Thanks.
