I think Charlie Daniels said it well:
What this world needs is a few more rednecks
Some people aint afraid to take a stand
What this world needs is a little more respect
For the Lord and the law and the workin man
We could use a little peace and satisfaction
Some good people up front to take the lead
A little less talk and a little more action
And a few more rednecks is what we need
What most people call a redneck
Aint nothin but a workin man
And he makes his livin
By the sweat of his brow
And the calluses on his hands
Now you intellectuals may not like it
But there aint nothin that you can do
Cause theres a whole lot more of us common-folks
Then there ever will be of you
Not only are they snobs, they are also hypocrites
e·lit·ism or é·lit·ism (-ltzm, -l-)
n.
1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.
2.
a. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
b. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.
They are elitist. And it REALLY ticks ‘em off when one of the “peasants” rises above his station.
They are intent on imposing a feudal system, in which the nobility, them, own everything, and everyone else must bow and scrape and subsist while they ride by in their carriages.
“Intellectuals aren’t the revolution’s brains, they’re it’s s**t.” ~ Lenin
“The intelligent are to the intelligentsia, as a gentleman is to a gent.” ~ Stanley Baldwin
So why do the "Teamsters and others of the working class" so overwhelmingly vote for the same "total snobs" your brother votes for?
My opinion is that the Left has completely taken over the "entertainment" industry, the "news" media, and all public schools, colleges, and universities, with the few exceptions being a handful of Christian schools.
Wherever the "Teamsters and others of the working class" turn, they are inundated with Leftist propaganda to the point where they mostly believe it, and vote accordingly.
If I may add my own perceived adjectives to the list.
