The fact that I make fun of half-wit relatives who have never managed to see the Ocean while living five hours from it is not a bubble.
You do realize Murray is a buffoon? He's the Jeff Lord of the Harvard Faculty, who only has a job their because they needed a token conservative no matter how dumb?

You're losing. Call it a bubble, call it delusion, whatever. You are losing and whining, and when someone tells you it might be wise to find a different approach, you recoil and flip out.
If you're all so fucking smart, why can't you manipulate rubes? You grew up among them, apparently. These aren't difficult targets to bullshit.
The game is PT Barnum. You may not like it, but you don't get to change the rules until you win at it. Unfortunately, to get over that threshold, you need to play it.
