People who went to Ivy League schools are not a protected or suspect class, are not a historically downtrodden group, are not in need of your solicitude. It is 100% fine to be suspicious of them and their outsized impact on American policy and don’t let silly people tell you otherwise.

But also—the critique is not “rural man went to Yale.” It is is “man from Dayton, OH goes to Yale, becomes a venture capitalist, publishes a best selling book about life in Appalachia (where he is not from), becomes a senator, and runs for vice president. He’s a hillbilly? Um, no. That’s a lie.”

Ivy League-educated lawyers are overrepresented among the tRUmp syncophants who are either already indicted for participating in his crimes, or holding their breaths in fear that they will be.

The actual median U.S.-ian doesn’t even land in “graduated college” territory, never mind a prestigious one.

Also, the Princeton offense is slow as hell. I have no respect for it.
