“Of course the real reason elites tend to get what they want is they are better than the rest of us. They are smarter, better socialized and they have greater access to the stock of knowledge relevant to being in charge. Americans despise the idea of a ruling elite, so the people in charge spend a lot of time pretending they don’t exist. It’s why our form of democracy works so well. The people keep voting for different candidates, but the people in charge never change. That’s what we are seeing with Donald Trump right now.
“That’s probably why the global elite is so worried about the rising tide of nationalism through the West. The constant moaning about 'threats to our democracy' really don’t mean the people in charge care about actual democracy. The game of bad cop/worse cop we see in our politics is not a bug. It is a feature. The process of voting has been gamed by the ruling class such that the results are fixed. No matter which candidate you choose, you get the same results, because the candidates are owned by the same people.”

Before Trump jumped into the race, all the other seekers of the Republican presidential candidacy were the same person. There was no difference between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, Ben Carson and Jeb Bush. We deplorables knew, too, that all the Democratic snobs were batshit crazy. So, we voted for the only sane candidate.
