Major Idea (two parts)

Our society is dividing into two distinct groups.  An underclass and an overclass.

For the time being I call them the PC Class and the Trumpers.

A look at the PC Class shows they are the following: 

•        A group of people who don't tolerate ideas that challenge their ideology. 
•      They are people who believe in an immanent apocalypse. The world is dangerously overheating due to bad human behavior.
•      PC people all consider themselves victims of white oppression.
•      They call all opponents: racist, misogynist, sexist bigots.
•       They hate guns and want guns confiscated. 
•      They strongly oppose education in the form of charter schools.
•      P.C. people favor stronger government
•      They believe that much evil in society is caused by the existence of very wealthy people. Great wealth should be confiscated.
•      They find nothing wrong with union support for seniority or opposition to rewarding outstanding efforts.
•      Where they have political power PC people support street people getting homes and welfare.

 

The opposite is true for Trumpers.

•       Trumpers believe in smaller government.
•     They are patriots who understand American exceptionalism. 
•     They believe in distinct male and female categories and the importance of family and a positive American history.
•     Trumpers admire success in business and are proud of America and its Constitution. 
•     Trumpers have guns and support gun ownership. 
•     The Trumpers are the opponents of unions, believe in demoting lazy and incompetent workers.
•     They oppose supporting lazy people who don’t want to work and spend their time on drugs.
•     Trumpers support private charity for the truly needy.  
•     They favor rapid assimilation of new immigrants who are chosen to come to America for their skill and competence.

It should be clear from these two lists that PC people are grooming themselves to be a future underclass with built in anger and grievances. They already have a subservient world view.

Trumpers are clearly a group of people who will be an overclass with strong traditional values. They are prepared for a role in American leadership.

Major idea continued from last blog

Many readers don’t understand how our society could divide into an overclass and an underclass.  With the Trumpers as the overclass and the PC People as the underclass.

Don't let the very rich PC People like Bezos and Zuckerberg confuse you.  There have always been rich who were not in the overclass.

Two reasons for this problem.  Most readers don’t know how the hereditary elite operated in America.  And they don’t see that an overclass is already happening, today, in America.

The American hereditary elite existed until 1961.  How it worked is visible in the annual publication of the elite Blue Book, or the Social Register, which was actually black. Each of the listings gave the prep schools, colleges and clubs of the listees along with their children’s names, home addresses and phone numbers.  Only people listed could buy the book.

The hereditary elite were members of exclusive clubs, including sports clubs such as rowing, golfing, horseback riding and yachting. The list of exclusive clubs for each person was evidence of their bona fides in the elite. 

The elite maintained their power by their constant exclusive mutual association, their control of admission to exclusive colleges and prep schools but most importantly their executive control of all the major U.S. corporations where they provided employment for their peers. 

Both these sources of control (colleges and corporate executive suites) disappeared when the elite colleges began admitting non-elite students based on standardized testing in the 1930’s and the U.S. Army in WWII promoted all college graduates to officer status as well as offering field commissions based on merit. The Army created a large meritocratic officer class.

In the post war era these meritocratic men promptly rose to be the executives of major U.S. Corporations and founded new corporations and new industries.  

That obliterated the hereditary elite. 

How does that relate to the current division of America into an overclass and an underclass? The Internet has replaced the listing in the Social Register as the record of membership in the overclass.  As the Internet gets better over time the overclass will begin to know each other. Right now, Christopher Buckley on my Facebook has succeeded in traveling the U.S and meeting many of our fellow Trumpers.  I have met a few thanks to Facebook.  

In the future the overclass will get good at meeting each other, forming clubs of common interest as well as churches and cafes for common mutual comfort. 

The separation is well underway. Trumpers listen to AM radio and Rush Limbaugh.  PC People listen to NPR. PC People have many mainstream fake media sources for their ideology.  Trumpers have many Internet sources and will have many more in the future. PC People go to established colleges where ideology is the main curriculum.  Trumpers have a few universities and are creating new online education vehicles with good truthful education. 

In a few years the overclass will have its clubs, businesses, media, athletic and meeting places that will only be comfortable for them with large portraits of Trump and Melania.  

The rest of the world, the underclass, will not pay attention.  The distinction will be that the overclass and its families will be generally happy and comfortable.  The underclass will be what they are today: angry and generally unhappy.
