I'm gonna say no. It isn't where you've been that makes you an elite. It's where you are now. The guy who's selling insurance and ladies' shoes in Kentucky was not an elite. George Clooney the celebrity is.
I do find the American right nowadays has a weird obsession with celebrities. On the lunatic fringe you see it in the way Hollywood and its celebrities are always an integral part of the conspiracy; but even more normal iterations seem to hold a lot of ire for the Hollywood elite.
Often I have heard the complaint that celebrities should just shut up and make music/films/TV whatever. I can entirely understand that you might have no interest in the political opinions of a celebrity. But if you hear them so much that it's bothering, then obviously you're consuming a lot of media that talks about celebrities' opinions. Why not simply stop doing so?
