I don’t understand why members of the elites think they can set their fellow countrymen up for cultural suicide in the future, but that they and their offspring will somehow not be affected, not be jeopardized.

Are they so confident that their membership in “The Club” will pass to their children and grandchildren? That their progeny will somehow be protected from the fallout going on into the future?

Either (1) they do, or (2) they don’t care. If (1), I think their confidence is misplaced. There’s also (3), I guess: they’re so brain-dead they don’t see the danger.

They act like they think there’s going to be some escape hatch in the future, some way to protect their own while everything else blows up.

It’s the sort of thing you might expect if NASA or DARPA had invented some kind of interstellar drive technology that they were keeping a top secret, and the elites saw it as a way to escape the maelstrom to another solar system, a la WALL-E.

I hear you and believe a good many of them just don’t care.

They enjoy power and rubbing elbows with people in power, it’s what they’re after.

That's exactly the question I've been asking myself. Either they know something that we don't, or they're deluded.

They don’t see the cultural suicide they are committing. They are nowhere near it. It doesn’t exist to them. It’s all theoretical.
They might as well live in castles and never leave the gate.

The elites don’t want any walls to protect us but they live inside the comfort and security of gated communities or in residences that are far removed from ‘troubled areas’.

Most of our so-called representatives benefit handsomely as a result of their “service” in Washington. Money buys options so they believe they will be able to afford sanctuaries for themselves and their families. They may be right. These people are pretty good at looking out for themselves.
