What poor Bernie never understood is that a great number of his supporters never gave a hoot about him, his ideas, or his program. They are simply very bored folks who have seen nothing but incredible opulence (which they have convinced themselves is utter misery) in their lives, who are bored and want to be entertained. They will boo him out of town if he dares to stand in the way of their entertainment. They’ve had too much bread and now demand outrageous circuses.
