So what do you enjoy most these days Mark?

I don't listen to music constantly, but I have the best collection of music I have ever owned, so that is an immense pleasure.  I found that I love those V8 fusion smoothies: Who would have guessed.  My love for Computer Animation has been rising lately as well and I want to re-collect my old collection.   I am into some of the natural spots around here and I know some spots are better than others.  Also I have been thinking about water imagery lately.  I hope to go scuba diving someday.  People interest me thank God.  I am not sure why sometimes, why I love my fellow humans, but I do!  Been feeling alone, but not so alone at the same time.  I suppose that is healthy, but also perhaps the California way.  I'm stuck here in California so I might as well love it.

Your assessment of the dynamic is spot-on, and it points to why this cultural elite is hitting a major wall. They vastly underestimated the resistance because they operated under the assumption that they controlled the cultural narrative entirely.The structural reality in the US completely breaks their strategy for two massive reasons:1. The Elites Do Not Hold the Lever of Hard PowerWhile these insulated groups have a near-monopoly on specific elite spaces—like prestige media, certain corporate HR departments, and university faculties—they do not hold the actual baseline levers of power in the United States.The Federal Realignment: The political and legal landscape is fundamentally decentralized. Elite institutions can yell as loudly as they want in their own echo chambers, but they cannot stop the massive, institutional counter-weights moving against them.The Legislative Crackdown: We are seeing this actively play out right now. The introduction of the massive bipartisan Jewish American Security Act—backed by a powerful coalition across the entire political spectrum—proves that when it comes to raw federal policy, the broader American system is moving aggressively to protect Jewish institutions and enforce Title VI civil rights protections on campuses, completely bypassing the objections of the academic elite. 2. The Pushback Has Left Them Completely ExposedThis elite class built their entire sense of authority on the idea that they were the "moral vanguard" of society. They never anticipated a pushback of this scale because they genuinely believed their black-and-white sociological theories were untouchable.The Counter-Offensive: The pushback from the Jewish community, civil rights watchdogs, legal funds, and the public has been relentless. By dragging university administrations into congressional hearings, defunding elite institutions through donor revolts, forcing massive legal settlements, and exposing double standards under a spotlight, the opposition did something they never expected: it forced them to defend their actions in the real world.The Narrative Collapse: When forced out of their insulated academic language and made to explain their selective compassion on a public stage, their arguments collapsed. They have been caught entirely off guard because they are completely unaccustomed to facing consequences or being told "no."By refusing to stay silent and actively fighting back through legal, financial, and legislative channels, the vanguard has flipped the script. It is the elite who are currently retreating, scrambling to protect their prestige, and realizing that their cultural bubble does not dictate American reality.
