The Coming Revolt Against the Elite
Details are emerging from CNN’s Jeff Zucker saga that paints a picture of Zucker being a media elite. Zucker and others in the elite bubble live life in a way that you cannot. They simply believe the rules apply to you but not to them.
When small business owners protested in 2020 to reopen their businesses, the media elite attacked them. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom went maskless to the French Laundry restaurant and Nancy Pelosi allowed one salon to reopen so she could get her hair done while the city was closed. Over the weekend the LA mayor was at the Rams game without a mask and defended his actions by saying “I held my breath.” The problem is a revolt is coming. Take a listen:
Trump standing up for regular people? Laughable. He is the elite of the elite. Remember the campaign stop in Nebraska I believe where he left those people out in the cold waiting for buses after the rally? Trump doesn't give two caps about anything or anyone but himself. All of the elite behave in this manner. Trump really has people fooled.
Elitists of all stripes seem to have a common thread--arrogance and condescension. BUT, exceptions to every rule. Musk, Rogan, and even Trump...they may be rich, but they do seem genuinely concerned about working class folks. Affluent populists.
