Elites

There are certainly elitists in this world in the sense that some people wield tremendous influence, resources, wealth and power that have the ability to manufacture outcomes that might not have come to fruition without a little push from them. The problem though, as you shared, is that there is a sense of ambiguity when it comes to deciding who said elites are.Whenever somebody brings up "The Elites" or "The Globalists" or whatever other buzzword to denote some outsider with a vision contrary to your own, to me it is akin to "They/Them." "They" are so often nameless people who embody whatever the antithesis or inverse of your own belief system or set of values. And of course, in true dramatic fashion, everything they do is underhanded, nefarious, and pernicious."They" are a convenient scapegoat to explain away all our social ills, whether real, imagined, or exaggerated.

I suppose that's the beauty of it. People who most likely would conform to the stereotype of being an elite can now distance themselves away from it and place it on to someone else.Donald Trump, for instance. He's a billionaire and has been since he was born. He's been loud, brash, arrogant, and in constant need for attention since I can remember. He's been a fixture in my life stretching back to the early 80's. Obviously he meets the criteria of what an elitist would be. But he manages to distance himself from it by saying that he's a Washington outsider. He has no political baggage like the other candidates. Those "Elitists" are corrupted Washingtonian insiders.... Trump is here to "Drain the Swamp" against the Elites.
