I would put racism and elitism as irrational.  Sad indeed.

Here's where I trumpet David Shor as an example of the changing landscape of how we view US politics.  I would personally consider both racism and elitism as immoral and unethical, but still rational in a sick sort of way.  Both are examples of the open dog-whistle era. It's still TBD whether this is an end or a pivot, though it's bad either way.

If and when both become ineffective, we'll finally enter a new paradigm.  I thought the 1960s and 70s ushered that in, but obviously not so.
