People like Bump identify with people like the Obamas, Pritcher, the Clintons, Soros, etc., whose wealth guarantees THEIR freedom to achieve THEIR individual goals, to enjoy god given freedom that flows from THEIR inalienable rights. Advocating for freedom for everyone else provided by a benevolent ubermaster government is a smokescreen.

IMO - in large part, society is just a grown up version of high school and 'people like Bump' et al are the wanna-be football players & cheerleaders.

08/25/24: Hello, Jules! See the NY Post sports section, Mike Vaccaro's column, about major league baseball players being the children that he and I once were. Even if you don't care about sports, it is still a splendid story and parallels your point about arrested maturity/development (children and teenagers in the bodies of "ostensible adults").
