I would not trust Walensky, Fauci, or (the unfortunately named) Woodcock to housesit a goldfish. How on earth are these people in the positions that they are in?

As many of you know, bougiecrat is a term I coined. It's a combination of the words bourgeois and technocrat. Bougiecrats are people who believe that our system is meritocratic and that bourgeois technocrats should rule over society. They believe that this is the best of all possible worlds and that modern technology is the solution to all problems. Most Democrats today are bougiecrats. But some Republicans are too (e.g. Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Brett Kavanaugh). I probably coined the term some time after reading, "Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People?" by Thomas Frank which is brilliant analysis of the modern Democratic Party.
