You'll see him on the stage tonight. He came back to Wilmington to pick up his laptop, ...it has family pics.

You already did.

You're an interloper, OS. You're one of the eiltes that TrumpFans think are no-nothings. A fancy kid from THE elite military school in the world, and they've convinced themselves that you think you're better than the enlisted men that you outranked.

Just a taaaad out of context, OS.

I was mocking your idea that TrumpFans are talking about "someone else" when they refer to "the coastal elites".

Pssst: you live on the coast, and not only received an elite education.....you had an elite career that 99.9% of Americans only see on the silver screen. You are a card-carrying member of the coastal elites!

...only because they offered free room & board & a small pay check, in addition to free tuition.
I stayed due to spousal career & personal inertia, ...& lacrosse.
I still feel like a stranger in a strange land, but I keep quiet (other than here), out of politeness.

I know, I know. You think folks who rail on the "coastal elites" care about how you got there?

They're stereotyping....and you fit the bill to a T.

Heck, we all know about lacrosse stereotyping...and it's not flattering.

When & where I was introduced to lacrosse, it was a completely different demographic.
Most of us did not grow up with the sport. Many of us had a stick in our hand the first game we saw live.
Rural SoMd, when I homesteaded there (starting in 1978), was anything but an enclave for the costal elite.
Just ask krameram or YA.

I read about the sport in the 10th grade. A teacher had a bunch of books that we could take and read at our leisure. Not sure why I picked it up. It was a good story and the teacher explained what a couple of things in the book meant, such as the description of arm pads. I remember the term “gilman” the ball. That book was probably for middle school. Anyway, went off to college and two of my best friends were Gilman lacrosse players. I saw kids on the quad passing a ball and my best friend was the freshman goalie. My friends convinced me to try it as a sophomore and I fell in love with the sport. A lot has changed since then but I am big promoter of the sport. Hoping to steer a young kid that I know to a great landing spot in college. We will see.

I'm way older (turned 40 in 95), but kept up with music back when there was still radio … now I'm clueless.

I am 42, have a 6 & 8 yr old and know very little about contemporary music other than that Autotunes and trap music both suck.

Got my kids into 80s synth euro trash emo music like major tom, take on me, me roboto (my daughter calls it the “secret secret song”), etc along w David Bowie, Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin (mainly got interested because of an old stairway poster in my moms house and Immigrant song being played in the third Thor movie) so I’ve done my job so far. Daughter did Halloween as “material girl Madonna” (next year she wants la isla Bonita Madonna and gets year after like a prayer Madonna which ain’t happening) and my son got a overpriced NASA suit from the Kennedy space center earlier this fall and he said he was “Major Tom” in it.

A friend refuted this statement more succinctly than I did...

Now when Biden wins, watch how I don't wear his name on a hat, or fly his flag on my lawn for 4 years like a F'ing weirdo.

This is why all the foreigners in my life find America soooo confusing: so very many Americans are delusional on a massive scale. OF COURSE Republicans believe that government is the savior of all problems. Look at the near fanatical loyalty to Trump....and look at his ridiculously high approval ratings among Republican voters. The disconnect is: they don't think Republican leaders---or in this case, Trump---is the government. They think government leaders that they like, with little R's by their name "don't count" as government.

And It's hilarious watching them try and explain this asinine concept to other people.
