I disagree with his inferred meaning of "elite." When he says 'we elites..,' he is actually saying, 'we arrogant and nasty right wing no nothings who style ourselves elites,' have royally fucked things up with the help of an army of MAGA zombies. What a joke he is. A middling intellect with the right degree who has made a career peddling pedestrian observations and name dropping. His platforming makes a mockery of the idea of meritocracy that he constantly flogs. Ivy League... OOH - LA - LA!
