The demonstration of elitism won’t sway the core democrat, because they are all elitist wannabes at heart. They won’t be swayed until they discover that they indeed are NOT elite - but then it will be too late.
You may, however, sway some of the more ignorant who voted for “the cool black guy”.
Again, you get it. The average progressive peon either secretly lusts after the power of the elites for themselves (but usually settle for working on a HOA board or some grievance0-mongering busybody organization) or truly believe that they are too stupid to make their own life decisions and need a superior/Nanny State/National Father(*barf*)/”expert” to rule them.
