Those very few (Trump is one) are capable of leading in our system. They won't overstep their authority. They will always have a sense of fair play toward people of other classes. They are rational, understanding, real.
The wealthy who are 'real' are prouder of accomplishments to a greater degree, in themselves and others, not merely high status.
The elite know too many who have lofty status but are really mediocre in terms of wisdom, character, accomplishments, courage, etc. They all have 'Imposter' syndrome and the accompanying profound insecurity.
Indeed they are imposters; they really haven't spent their time learning anything useful, haven't suffered to learn their craft. Society could easily and happily do without them. They are crazed by this knowledge of themselves.
So they do two things: They do ridiculous stunts like pretend to be poor or 'real', carrying around a bottle of hot sauce when that was a fad in the 1990s. Talking jive and exchanging recipes even though they probably don't ever cook or deal with urban blacks.
Marie Antoinette, an extreme example of this, even made herself a hobby farm on a few acres in Versailles so she could get down with the peasant life. She sought some ersatz comradeship with the poor at her farm, but was too clueless and mean to even recognize them as they starved in real life from want of bread.
The second thing elites do to overcompensate is to lash out and make tyrannical rules and enforce them ruthlessly. Horseface showed his horse's ass yesterday in a perfect example of this before the WEF, the perfect audience for such a rant.
Their 'Will to Power' has no normal outlet. They are defective intellects and souls, roving the planet trying to achieve notoriety, power, adulation, even fear from others. They are a real menace if they stumble into politics because they are merciless to those unfortunates who must abide by their capricious and weird decisions.
Where am I going with this rant?
The Jefferson Memorial has this inscription in the inner edge of its circular span:
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
It is important to realize that this type of individual is really malignant. We need to enforce our Constitution and laws because these individuals have a natural tendency to run roughshod over them and enslave us.
They would imprison or kill us if they could get away with it; watch how they kill fetuses and infants wholesale because they can. Notice how they start wars of profit that might involve the deaths of millions of innocents: They do not lose a minute's sleep over it.
And especially when you see two odious, despicable phonies like Harris and Walz, who are obsequious with Oprah and other foolish idiots who enable them: They are vicious, deadly, murderous, nasty communist atheists who would dissolve the United States and kill all of us if they could.
Because they can't do so right now, they will continue to bide their time and work with others in the Communist movement in that direction.
Well said, Caddie. One also notices how these sorts illustrate how too many rise to the level of their incompetence...and then some.
What you have written is profound and absolutely correct. Thank you.
Over the last 60 years, perhaps longer, our “elites” have (as a group) become less and less bonded to their country and, thus, to their fellow Americans. They, generally, do not see the injury they cause or the responsibility each and every citizen bears in a constitutional republic such as ours. They call their viewpoint globalism and enlightened. We and the Constitution no longer matter to them and that is why we must stand up and do what we know we must.
