That is on them; it's on them to realize their mistake. They voted FOR the elites, whereas a vote for Hillary Clinton was a vote against the elites; however imperfect she was as a vehicle for such a vote.
Elites are not the peoples' representatives in government. The elites are the wealthy business interests. Unfortunately the people have been deceived into voting for representatives of the elites, instead of representatives of themselves.
Right now, I have no problem calling Trump a fascist. I could change my mind. But his actions so far can only be described as reprehensible in the extreme.
Whether Trump has been firetested seems to me irrelevant. It is the people who are being firetested. How fully will they respond to this (at least borderline) fascist, fully-corporate takeover of their country?
Our nation has been set on fire. What do we do about it, and how?
Trump does not really fit in with the true elites. He barely made it through school and only has an undergrad education. Although he lived in NYC growing up and part time as an adult, being of the new money he was never and will never be accepted by the NYC Blue Blood circles. He is tacky and gauche. Although he has traveled internationally he appears to lack true interest in other nations and their cultures. I have seen no indication he speaks any language besides English. I imply a number of these as negative. However, to Joe Sixpack, they are positives. He is no "limp wristed, cucked, furiner loving, darky oriented, freak."
He's a "real many man" just like the idol of Joe Sixpack, Putin.
I agree, and I would say that the only "real elites" are not educated and cultured people. They are merely the folks with money, and they have the power.
