Massive disconnect between authoritarian elites and average voters

Yes, what is good for Bill Gates and George Soros is good for America . . .

Well, you see that’s the problem.

According to the defintion used in the OP, neither George Soros nor Bill Gates are “Elites.”

A household made up of a janitor and a high school guidance counselor living in a 500 sq ft apartment in Queens would qualify as “Elite,” though.

Billionaires don’t live in zip codes with population densities of 10,000 /sq mile - regular people do.

The Ivy League grads show the same trends only more so. They are certainly in the elite.

It is amazing how desperate you guys are for a boogeyman to feel victimized by.

Populism is dumb.

See thread of liberal posters freaking out because Trump tried to make contacts with North Korea as it was developing nuclear weapons and means to launch them. They think Trump did it so he could build condos there.

The billionaires have luxury suites in Manhattan.

I doubt that any billionaire is going to bother with a survey. The elites in the study are the professionals and managers who work for them and benefit from many of the same policies.

In many respects, Biden’s policies are a continuation of uniparty policies that are decades old. They include exporting manufacturing jobs, mass illegal immigration, endless foreign wars, etc. Elites in Europe are in lock-step with these policies as well.

Any arguments against the data or arguments, or just against the reputation of the person?

Of course. It’s a nonsensical sample put together for the “Committee to Unleash Prosperity.”

I do like this part, though:

The Elites are defined as those having a postgraduate degree, a household income of more than $150,000
annually, and living in a zip code with more than 10,000 people per square mile.

Who knew I was an “Elite?”

Damm that’s a pretty low bar

Damm that’s a pretty low bar

It’s not even just that it’s a low bar - it’s a weird bar.

The idea that a household income of $150,000 makes one part of the evil “elite,” as long as you live in the right zip code and have enough education really just hammers home how stupid it all is.

trump blew up the deficit more than biden has

Biden’s most recent deficit was 2 trillion dollars with a purportedly booming economy.
