3. George Carlin: "It's a big club and you ain't in it"

Thu Sep 11, 2025, 07:15 PM

Thursday

There is a group in American society one might call, for lack of a better term, the political class. The political class is all of the politicians, lobbyists, fundraisers, campaigners, journalists, pundits, media executives, etc who make their living off of politics whether they are in power or not, and those who fund the same. They form an in-group. Everyone else is in the out-group.

Even ideological opposites within the in-group will be treated with more affinity than those in the out-group. As we are seeing.
