    As much as I’m glad that they’re waking up to it… It’s frustrating that we’ve basically been frantically flailing our arms and screaming “please listen to us those people want to hurt you and our country” for decades but they felt talked down to by us so they refused to listen and instead are learning the hard way and forcing us to live what we already knew would happen.

      The elitists put into place a huge propaganda network to convince the 99% that anyone that knows anything, has an education, has expertise of certain kinds (excluding blue collar work, though that’s expertise, too) is “elitist”, talking down to them, and therefore not to be trusted when speaking…meanwhile the actual elitists plot to drag the quality of life of average Americans down, not up.

      They are cheering on the likes of donvict and Elmo and buying into the notion that they are in any way “populist”.
