Another way of putting it; Washington vs The Rest Of Us.
It isn't just Washington. It is everyone who feels they deserve more because they are prettier/richer/smarter/better/more fashionable/whatever than the average flyover country hick.
It is the urbane, the credentialed, the swarms of government officers and even some local LEOs who are convinced they are better than the rest of us and the rules don't apply to them, because they make or enforce those rules, which incidentally, mean what they say they mean when they say they mean it.
They are those who crow about "equality" while looking down their collective nostrils at the rest of us.
Unfortunately it is a plague of attitude which has infected far and wide and is endemic in some parts of American culture.
Yes, the ground Zero is in Washington D.C. and other select urban areas, but hardly confined to those.
