Show of Hands

I’ve known plenty of people like that. My father's second wife, the gold digger, for example.

Ok boomer.

I know very few that don't. It's a subtle thing with most, but if you know what to look for, it becomes obvious. I can't tell you how many people I've known who gave me the slight expression of disapproval when I've told them I'm a truck driver, or the slightly less subtle positive one when I tell them about my degrees or how much money I make.

All liberals I know do that.

The left has a bunch of those running for president and their followers. They promote hatred for those that do well.

No, not at all.

Everyone I know believes (or pretends to) that everyone, regardless of position or salary, deserves to be treated fairly and well. It’s about who has the best sense of humor and kindness, for most of my friends and family.

My husband has a buddy that thinks he’s better than everyone else and more successful in life just because he has a good savings account and a good profession. The fact that he’s 40, lives with his mom, and the only thing he has to show for his money/job are a truck and a motorcycle. He’s had only one serious relationship in the 13 years we’ve known him. (She got tired of waiting on him to grow up.) He’s a functioning alcoholic and would do drugs if he didn’t have to worry about pop tests at work. The fact that the rest of our friend group are all married, own houses, don’t get drunk every night, can hang out without it being a party or bar hopping, and don’t pass out on someone’s couch doesn’t mean anything. Or that we have fun in other ways. Or that many of them have kids and love being parents.

Few don’t.
