Stop calling them elites. Call them wealth parasites.
What’s the difference?
Elites suggests they are somehow better. Wealth parasites suggests they are similar to ticks sucking the blood of society.
What? There is no such thing as some class of people who are better than others.
So an “elite” just means someone who has taken power over other. An oppressor and, yes, a parasite.
They make money of some off the same corruption as Trump, so will want to keep that going, and they have more to lose.
It’s the psychology of class politics.
If any rich people think that Trump will protect them, they are fools.
He’s been snubbed by the Manhattan elites for decades, and any one who hasn’t bent the knee will be on his list.
Protection from what? They want this. Trump has been giving them exactly what they want, more money and power.
