It makes sense if you understand that they view being President as a skilled profession that you need training for. In the same way as an engineer needs training to be able to design a functioning bridge, a politician needs training to craft the policies or whatever. Without that training, the country would fall apart. The only reason we can live as we do is because skilled professionals are doing complicated things behind the scenes.

This is partly why Trump drives them insane. He proves that the President isn't actually doing anything to "keep things functioning." He can just be a dumbass who does nothing at all, and your life as a random middle class white American will continue like normal.

So if skill isn't needed to "keep things running like normal," there's no longer any justification for our politicians. They rely on the illusion that maintaining the status quo is a valuable and difficult job on its own, and that you can't just replace Nancy Pelosi with anyone - surely she is doing complex things behind the scenes to ensure the continue functioning of our nation!

I know this is from far back, but it's tough keeping up with this thread

But this whole thing if how liberals can only interact with the world via accreditation is why this scene from Chernobyl always stands out to me. Liz Warren here just insisting she knows better cause the guy in charge was just a lowly factory worker (even though someone else once pointed out when I've shared this scene before that she was wrong and Minsk didn't need to be evacuated).

Its a reflex. Like when climate change news gets so bad and the posters get so upset they mandate an official ruleset designed to create the specific narrative they need to read. No negativity, no unofficial scientific sources, no speculation etc etc etc.

Dems are headed for one of the most historic defeats in the history of electoral politics as we slide into what will probably be a depression with Biden as one of the worst presidents of all time and everyone knows Trump is coming back. The level of anxiety they feel influences the lengths they go to to protect themselves when the overall posting turns so negative.

That's why there are hundreds of probations and bans over dozens of new rules and subsections of subsections of subsections of rules. People are criticizing democrats too much and the liberal democrat audience needs their local posting place to reflect the reality they need to believe.

it’s pretty incredible how many times the democrats immediately and relentlessly poo poo in the mouths of their voters after every single election and absolutely refuse to do anything to prevent their own defeats it’s stunning really.

i wish they were a little less pathetic and weak about it though, if you’re evil just be evil it’s the fact that they’re a limp noodle and whine and whimper while loving us all over is what drives me insane.

It's not even consistent, later on there's a scene with coal miners who are all wise honest salt-of-the-earth types (so anticommunist of course) who rightfully have no respect for the minister of coal, a froofry soft-handed college academic in a fancy suit which the workers mischievously clap their filthy coaldust hands on.

Wait so are workers ignorant troglodytes or repositories of folksy wisdom superior to ivory tower book learning who knows!

(The real minister of coal had been a coal miner at the age of 15 and worked his way up so that scene of him not knowing how to interact with coal miners was a lie of course. )

I'm curious what the average voter will think about Trump's "America First' campaign compared to Biden fresh off of 4 years of being lectured, confused, asleep, humiliated and literally making GBS threads his pants on the international stage.

The funny thing about liberal fixation with credentials is that it is entirely surface level, from the start intended as a rationalization rather than a guiding principle.

Nina Jankowicz had a non-tenure track appointment at the woodrow wilson center because of her connections, her one book on the matter came out at a press that is barely a step above a vanity press, and if you look at her citation count it is barely above what a grad student would have. A single one of my articles has more citations than all her publications combined, and she would have had a hard time finding a job at a community college.

It's like when Psaki's younger sister got the job at the HHS and to deny that her connections played any role they point to her PhD.

In either case, they'd struggle to find a job as an expert on the things they were hired to do for the government.

Not that academic hiring is in any way meritocratic and record driven. But they don't even have the super prestigious backgrounds that frequently trump actual scientific contribution.

So it's that little weird game. Republicans and conservatives don't care about their record. No academic or expert in those fields would select them as the top experts in those fields. But the credentials serve as a justification for the college educated professionals and journalists that are the target audience, while universities are more than willing to give them do nothing positions to be able to recruit off of them.
