The Trumpian Elite – TPM – Talking Points Memo

My statement in this title is some provocation. But this has a serious meaning.

American political debates use the term ‘elite’ in a very poor way. The use is humiliating rather than descriptive. Elites are bad guys. And the good elite are not actually elite. We are all familiar with it, and perhaps not always, it is inevitable in a political culture based on images and ideology based on the power and valuation of the popular rules and ordinary Americans.

However, the elite was the biggest explanation of this lively subject attempt, which we have been part of with since January. Law firms, universities, large businesses, news publications and one million examples. All of us, whatever you mean, we were amazed with the obedience of the leading and strong ones, we were unpaid, we were cruel. Even those who did not adopt a subsidies posture often adopted one of the silence. I hear from the reporter after the reporter. The kind of people they go for nails – most of these people don’t want to give them anymore. And beyond the moral assessment, we know why: there is even something. The president of a bandit is widely unusable and illegal or against the constitution to pursue everyone who really raises his head. The challenges for Trump have been more than ordinary Americans.
