I’m not familiar with the characters in this case Caitlin, though what you describe sounds typical of any liberal elite. I do think though, that the control of the narrative they once exercised through their propaganda is being progressively weakened by the army of the alienated, disillusioned, congenitally dissident, eccentric, maverick, rebellious, non — conformists, and the oddballs, cranks and obsessives, the army of pains in the arse, we who contribute the alternative views found on new media.
