Elitists believe in unlimited government of, by and for an entitled, hereditary, autocratic political/bureaucratic class.
The opposite of elitism is populism.
Populists believe in limited government of, by and for the people.
I appreciate liberals proving they are out of touch with America.
“settler colonialism”
Who comes up with this crpp?

Just reading the excerpt, sounds reasonable.
Elitism AKA Progressivism (”gov’t people are better than the populace) AKA Lying Leftism.
All peas from the same decrepit pod.
PATRIOTS: Quit worrying about and focusing on what you don’t like about the Left.
WAY PAST TIME to get a clear focus on OUR OWN OBJECTIVES: THE RESTORATION OF AMERICA’S FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPBULIC (not “democracy”).
Funny how the party that coinged the phrase “Its the economy stupid” still have no clue why they lost
The other big point they are missing is that how many working class Americans pissed off about the naked neo Fascists abuse of the US Government’s police and regulator powers to go after anyone that disagrees with the Alt Left political cult dogmas.
A lot of average Americans take the principals enshrined in the US Constitution very seriously. These self selected “elites” have a fundamental contempt for the restrictions the US Constitution imposed on their lust for power.
Trump, Musk the J6ers and dozens of other cases are just a few examples where the Alt Left abused its control of power to try and intimidate or silence political opposition
I think a lot of people like Musk, who never been very politically active, really where angry how fundamentally contemptuous the Alt Left running the Democrat party are for the rule of law.
Everyone has their own tolerance level for cultural rot. I pegged out 24 years ago when left wing parasites went after the Boy Scouts for their ban on openly gay Scout leaders.
They REALLY hate we plebes.
The “elites” have not even begun to get what they deserve. Hopefully, this statement will prove false in the near future.
“Populists believe in limited government...”
Populist can believe in anything since there are no overriding principles or core beliefs in populism other than the people versus the elites. Populist can be left wing, right wing, fascists, authoritarianism, Christian or Godless.
The US populist are for the most part somewhat conservative. We are lucky in that.
Well..... no.
I know that is how they tried to portray it in books movies and other media but that was not actually the case.
The party of the left was always about the "elites" leading the "sheep" which was how they thought of working people. We had to be forced into unions, that they would lead of course, so we could know what to do. They gave marching orders to the workers, they never were the workers.
Thomas Frank was the reason I stopped subscribing to the Wall Street Journal. He wrote an article praising Ayers and Dohrn.
The writer thinks the people who voted for Trump somehow admire the Cheney family.
I disagree! I don’t think Populists believe in limited government at all. If popular vote overrides some constitutional restraint toss it out! That’s the populist viewpoint. Vox Populi Vox Dei. At least that’s the old definition maybe in the Trump era the definition is different or we need a new descriptive term.
Shove it NYT. You did everything to make it happen with your lies.
NYT is the elite.
As Adam Smith said, "The average university is a sanctuary in which exploded systems and obsolete prejudices find shelter and protection, after they have been hunted out of every other corner of the world."
