There is a chicken & egg game between populaces & elites that many "elitists" don't understand. Elites are neither superior nor aristocratic but exist because of a tautology, something that is true by definition.
Pissed-off populaces - as we've been for 3+ generations -
1/
will continuously attempt to create their own elites. All an elite is is someone who can influence or control the populace, whether we are talking about culture, politics or hard power. It's not like there is a separate species one has to be born into.
2/
The early stage of the current RW base created Wallace as an elite, to try to overturn the enormous degree of cultural destruction that occurred in the 1960s, with forced busing, the Civil Rights Act becoming supreme over the Constitution, Hart-Celler, and so on.
2/
Ross Perot was given power to fight the deindustrialization of America that the uniparty & federal government were forcing down all our throats.
Pat Buchanan was raised up to give voice to our anger about the cultural & racial destruction of America.
3/
Each of those three priors were a chicken & egg game. The elite did not create the feelings of the populace, but rather, they tapped into the pre-existing very powerful feelings of tens of millions of people. The unhappiness is what allowed the elite to rise up.
4/
Trump was the 4th major iteration - and the first to be successful. All the anger & unhappiness that Wallace, Perot & Buchanan had tapped into was still there, and it was much more powerful than ever.
The Financial Crisis of 2008, the Great Recession, the naked greed
5/
Wall Street in profiting from the destruction it unleashed with the enthusiastic help of the entirely corrupt Uniparty, all came together to spawn the Tea Party on the Right, and Occupy Wall Street on the Left.
Then Obama made it much worse as he moved America hard Left
6/
with Obamacare while drastically increasing DEI and open discrimination against whites and men.
The deep anger of the populace created a crown in the gutter that Trump rode down the escalator to claim. Trump faced the same problems that his priors had faced.
7/
The Enemy had full control of information via the media, full control of both parties, full control of the judiciary and all levels of government.
Trump was a celebrity & marketing genius who was able to break through the control and give voice to the populace.
8/
It was that breaking through of 100% control, accomplishing the seemingly impossible, that marks Trump historically more than anything else.
Now that we the people of the RW base have tasted power to an extent we have not seen in 3+ generations, we are ready for more.
9/
We are ready to give power to existing elites such as Vance & Rubio if they will give us what we want - understanding the chance of betrayal is very real
We will also spawn many more elites from within us. We are more than half the population, particularly when we adjust for
10
massive voter fraud by the Left.
No, most of those people could never be an elite themselves. But, there are still millions of latent elites among us, who could very well rise to elite status in the right circumstances. As has happened many times before.
