I think you completely missed my point. My point is that elites in both parties developed policies that they feel are best for the country. Elites in Britain for example thought the EU was best for Britain and I am including the media elites. They showed disdain for anyone that disagreed with that viewpoint. Just as the elites in the United States show distain for the people that don't agree with their positions. And this is true in both parties. For example, the elites in both parties actually agree with a relatively open border. The Republicans like it because it provides cheap labor for business. The Democrats like it because it gives them votes. But the people in the form of wages and jobs and yes drugs and crime are hurt by it.
When I talk about taking the country back, I am referring to moving the country in a direction not mandated by the elites but rather supported by the people. That is the very definition of populism. I'm not suggesting that all of the party elites positions are incorrect just that they lost track of what was really impacting the people.
and you are exactly right, if Trump fails he will be out in four years.
This short video is emblematic of the point that I am trying to make. Listen to these two media elites. She is essentially saying the people are too stupid to understand nuance and he is saying that we live in a post fact world. She may not have intended my interpretation of her statement, but that is exactly how it comes across to me. To me that sounds as if they believe they are the holder and owner of facts and truth. What condescension.
