If you disagree with me, it’s because you support the “establishment” and you like “corporatists,” whatever they are.

It’s like when the radical right calls us all “liberals.” Ask 100 Republicans what “liberal” means, and you’ll get 100 different answers, and even more if you ask some of them twice, because half of them won’t remember what they told you the first time.
