The Republican establishment had trouble getting any of their people near the White House once the Tea Party took over.  They are not looking like they will be the dominant force anymore.

I’m not saying the elites will not be a problem.  It is just that the high is rough on the old values.

True enough. The elites are chameleons, after all. They wear the colors that work best at the moment. That's why we have neoliberals today: too much backlash against the hardcore conservative positions on social issues. The neoliberals are today's elites, much as their less woke predecessors were in their time. I'm sure a new paradigm will arise as needed to placate the rich and powerful in the next 1T.
