Here’s an excerpt from a story at The Daily Caller about elite Republicans not liking us!

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Thursday that the Republican Party leadership doesn’t “like their own voters.”

“This really is the main problem, on the right anyway. The people who run the Republican Party don’t really like their own voters,” Carlson said on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “And they especially don’t want the voters that Trump brought,” Carlson continued. “Trump brought the party’s ranks noticeably downscale, ‘from the country club to the trailer park,’ as they often sneer. And this horrifies them.

Many Republicans in Washington now despise the people they’re supposed to represent and protect.”

Carlson claimed that “socially anxious white professionals” feel contempt for “working-class people who look like them.”

“So if you want to understand the hatred, the real hatred, not just disagreement but gut level loathing and fear of Trump — in say New York or Washington or L.A. — you’ve got to understand that first. It’s not really Trump; it’s his voters. The new money class despises them,” Carlson said.

Supporting the GOP after 40 years of betrayal is the height of insanity. The GOP party needs to die and a new party take its place.

The GOP leadership hates patriotic Americans and it is long past time to return the favor.

WE do NOT have the time to sort out the good from the bad. Let the current GOP that allowed itself to decay from within to just die on it’s own. We will be paddling sand against the tide.

Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee re-elected Ronna Romney McDaniel, the niece of the head RINO himself, Mitt Romney, to be its leader for the coming four years:
surely, the gop-e isn’t that tone deaf or stupid.....but I guess they are.

Trump will be very successful in starting a new party, IMO.
The current GOP has caused the voters to lose faith in them.

Oh I was a politician at The Siege Of The Capital!

They walked through the halls with their American flags
We knew they wanted to talk to us about fraud
So we bravely fled or hid behind a chair
We would have prayed if we believed in God!
“The siege at the Capitol!
In the front lines of this terrible battle.
Hiding in a closet
From the citizen rabble

Loads of big words. I likes me an educated blogger.

Seriously thoug,h a good article. I think the author missed an opportunity to delve into the question whether those whom many people perceive to be the ‘elites’ are mainly a distraction for the masses. Maybe something for future discussion.

Sic semper tyrannus!

The Democrat Party is an unholy alliance.

It is run by criminals who rely on these elites along with the addled idealists and the grabbers.

The comparison with the formation of a new elite in England after 1688 is a very interesting one and makes the article worth reading. After that, the article doesn’t really say much to me. Certainly nothing constructive.

A new elite formed in England after a long Civil War. Same in France after the Revolution and the Terror. Same in the Soviet Union after the Czar and White Russians were exterminated or exiled.

It is not easy to get rid of the old elite, apparently. I suspect it’s even harder to replace an old one with a GOOD new one. I’m not sure it can be done deliberately, but if it can, maybe we need to institutionalize it in Constitutional amendments. Something like Mao’s Continuing Revolution?

I think Strauss and Howe’s Fourth Turning is possibly a more useful concept for the present.
