I never heard the term until Trump came along. If it existed before, it wasn’t used as widely. They are all anti-Trump because they think they or their father was smarter and higher-class than Trump.

It’s a “class” thing. They have conservative values but “God forbid we should be mistaken for those nouveau riche par venues.”

It’s very un-American in fact.

The term has been around since the 1960s, with slightly different meanings, depending on who was using it or redefining it.
