If they couldn't buy cheap gas for their 4x4s, they'd have to live in [shudder] urban areas and sit next to [please no!] colored people as they ride [wince] mass transit to their jerbs.
Peacock (whoever he was) knew this would happen, and invented a word for just this occasion. Ha ha, Wikipedia definition is a sly jab at the Orange One:
"Kakistocracy (kækɪsˈtɑkɹəsi) is a term meaning a state or country run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was first coined by English author Thomas Love Peacock in 1829, but was rarely used until the 21st century."
Bill Foster, who represents a district including some suburbs of Chicago, is the only science PhD in all of Congress (“I very often feel lonely,” he said, before encouraging other scientists to run for office). “Since I made the transition from science into politics not so long ago, I’ve become very cognizant of the difference between scientific facts, and political facts,” he said. “Political facts can be established by repeating over and over something that is demonstrably false, then if it comes to be accepted by enough people it becomes a political fact.” Witness the 52 percent of Republicans who currently believe Trump won the popular vote, and you get the idea.
Think I'll spend more time practicing my Italian.

You can't drive your SUV there, but through an amazing system of double-track tunnels, you can ride Trenitalia from town to town—mass transit, dontcha know. But the walk is better.
And people keep voting for this shit. It's depressing.

lol, jerbs…
Yeah, shoulda said, "as they ride mass transit to the hospital ER to get prenatal care."
What's the opposite of a government of the best, smartest and most capable? I'm going with "Trumpocracy."

Or the alternate spelling, cacastocracy.

Gotta go with Mr Downey there, you won't find me running for office any time soon.
Man I miss those great parties at Pablo Escobar's.

Probably on the advice of one of her astrologers. Remind me again which one of Nancy or Ronnie had Alzheimer's?
NO SUVs? Sounds pretty un-Americian to me.
Wait, wut?
Kind of unbelievable, really. Italy's full of places like that.
Went to Sicily last summer…something about the soil on the slopes of Mt Etna makes the wines even better than all the other wonderful Italian wines.
The Greeks liked Sicily too, and hung around long enough to build a bunch of these.
