Trump being opposed by "the elite" doesn't mean he's the working person's friend.

He doesn't have any kind of agenda that favors the working person in this country. It's more the case that he simply is a threat to everyone, rich and poor, much like an asteroid or some horrid plague. We should be comfortable allying ourselves with the "elites" for this purpose.

usually aren't talking about the same elite. RWers mean intelligent people who read and drive hybrids, etc. LWers usually are talking about the true elite, the billionaires, financiers etc., who have a ton of undue influence in this country. Like the Bushes for example.

It means people whose thoughts and votes are based on reality, facts and reason.

A word that has very effectively allowed bigoted, racist and flat out dumb ads morons to feel superior for being as wrong as wrong as they can be about everything.
