@kausmickey Maybe better quibble is that cultural and financial upper classes aren’t identical. Taste in TV shows one example.
@kausmickey I infer from “quibbles” that you largely agree with his thesis?
@kausmickey They do. But they just root for the Lannisters.
@kausmickey Downton Abbey, John Oliver, Making a Murderer* (*up-market Criminal Minds). Who in Fargo watches “Fargo;” Bernie fan torrents it
@kausmickey @charlesmurray isn’t talking about Game of Thrones or even American Idol. Rather, stuff like NCIS, Judge Judy and Family Feud.
@kausmickey Murray reminds me of Niles Crane from Frasier (“Hay rides are catnip to postal workers!” “Oh look, Frasier: fixins!”)
