I hate how liberals say it’s because “they’re dumb”. No, it’s legitimately the case that most of these people have unironically never held a hammer in their lives.
They’re also probably just not that bright. Liberalism (especially of the neoliberal variety these schmucks represent the worst of) and the triumphal “end of history” really did a number on the western elites’ intellect IMO. The walking, talking turds holding highest office across the west nowadays seem to have no self-reflection, perhaps no cognitive empathy whatsoever- and there’s been no incentive for them to develop it.

Both can be true. Plenty of people pick up a hammer for the first time and hold it the right way.
It helps to have seen a hammer in use. But us blue collar workers are invisible to the likes of these rulers.
