This is the NEW YORK TIMES protesting the voice
of voters for Soros, for Romney, and ... for themselves.
Mao would approve.
The author uses the language of the left - of socialist dogma to try to explain current events. The nationalist front and party breakups - globally - can’t be so easily summarized with old school Alinsky verbage. Easy to see where the writer’s head and heart lie.

Like the ignorant masses who write articles that it's time for the elites to rise up against the ignorant masses.
This attitude would merely be hilarious were it not so dangerous.
Self-styled “elites” who imagine their every fart is the gas of wisdom.
This clown shows no potential for insight and knowledge, only a vapid certainty that he and his ilk are superior.
Since the elites lack the votes and lack in numbers of those who are armed, I suppose that george will, bill bristol and the rest of the globalist filth will soon be calling for Blackwater mercs to shoot Americans down in the streets and bomb white, middle-class / working-class towns and neighborhoods from drones.
That’s quite a brazen headline. Provocative even.
What if the elites are the ignorant ones?
“You are the few. We are the many. What happens when the many no longer fear the few?”

I couldn't get past this. These clowns have been singing the same song for a year and have been wrong, wrong, wrong. According to my daily FR the two presidential candidates are now neck and neck. One of them is under investigation by the FBI for exposing classified data to the world. She is sick physically and mentally. She is married to a (child) rapist and has been covering up for him for years. She has no accomplishments to speak of.
And Donald Trump won't beat her because...?
I'll read the piece, but how, pray tell, does the author propose to give force to this uprising of the elites? The usual, propaganda? Or something more meaty?
Their so blindly arrogant they don’t even realize how they sound, we’ve recently heard a number of similar such statements from the so called ‘elite’
Having voters act in a way contrary to their evil globalist schemes seems to be a new experience for this latest generation of them,
Did I say “ignorant”? Yes, I did. It is necessary to say that people are deluded and that the task of leadership is to un-delude them. Is that “elitist”? Maybe it is; maybe we have become so inclined to celebrate the authenticity of all personal conviction that it is now elitist to believe in reason, expertise, and the lessons of history. If so, the party of accepting reality must be prepared to take on the party of denying reality, and its enablers among those who know better. If that is the coming realignment, we should embrace it.
How 1984 of him...
It’s more like a slave revolt.
So many lampposts could use some decoration.
One basic error condemns both the writer and his writings to the same utter disregard that he has for people - ignorance. That error is assuming that globalization is the be all, end all of all societies. The wonders are too great for the unwashed masses to comprehend.
-——If Donald Trump loses, and loses badly——
There will be war, a civil war to root out and eliminate those that want to continue the destruction of America
It will be 1792 in America
Thomas Sowell well-covered this type of thinking 20 years ago in
The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy
https://www.amazon.com/Vision-Anointed-Self-Congratulation-Social-Policy/dp/046508995X
Sowell presents a devastating critique of the mind-set behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites—the anointed—have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.
Highly recommended, as spot-on today as it was then.
The ignorant masses who work hard and pay the bills.
