Elites think they’re better than you
By: Miles Himmel
The bi coastal secular progressive elites really do think that they are better than the rest of us. The sheer condescending arrogance of this ruling class knows no bounds. Their contempt for Americans who live between the coasts in the flyover heartland is deep. They drip with contempt, using terms like bitter clingers, chumps, deplorables and doubling down on them.

Elites think they’re better than you
They think they’re smarter than you. They think they deserve more than you. They think they’re better than you.
Who are they, you ask? Hollywood, Silicon Valley, athletes, politicians, entertainment, those who dine at the French Laundry or attend the Met Gala — they all think they’re better than you.
They think the God you worship is nothing more than a figment of your imagination. They think the family you raise is outdated. They think the society you belong to is racist.
While the country was locked down, they were on vacation in Cabo or getting their hair cut . While your child's school was closed, their children continued to learn in private school . While you had to abide by the rules, they were too busy “ feeling the spirit .”
They hurt those living in rural areas (typically the middle- and lower-income earners) by charging more for peak-rate electricity while they sit in their mansions on the coast. They make you pay $5 a gallon for gas (again affecting middle- and lower-income earners who commute from farther away) while they live closer to the city. While you struggle to pay to keep food on your family's table , they go to events that cost $35,000 or buy freezers for $24,000 .
They insist we must do all we can to help the homeless, as long as it’s away from their neighborhood. They talk about America being racist while also owning four homes . They tell you not to question authority and that you’re too dumb to do research .
There is a growing divide in this country created by the wealthy elites, politicians, athletes, and others who feel more entitled than the rest of society. Not just in wealth but in all facets. And from their perspective, why should they have to live like us? They have the Harvard degree. They live in the nice neighborhood. They have more money than you. Why should they have to live the same way as us deplorables? They talk down to the rest of us because, they’ve made it clear, they are part of the aristocracy. They are above the rules.
But America isn’t made up of these people. Instead, it’s made up by the truck drivers; it’s made up by nurses and teachers and working-class people, people who will say something and follow through on their promise.
Don’t fall for their words about trying to help you because they’ve made it clear they don’t care about you. They think they’re better than you.

"Elite" has nothing to do with it. If you're a rational American with an above room temp IQ you're almost certainly a more functional, more productive human than those who have gleefully accepted the nickname 'deplorable' after self-diagnosing their xenophobia, homophobia, Islamophobia and misogyny and continue to cling to the fat greasy leg of a monumental narcissist serial liar populist buffoon loser.
A perfect example of the condescending arrogant elitist attitude the article author was wisely writing about.
Do you mean like when Trump said the CV meant he no longer had to shake hands with disgusting people (his followers)?
Thank you for demonstrating the problem.
If not being a low IQ homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic misogynist makes me an elitist I suppose I should wear that badge with distinction.
yeah, your far from an elitist.
So, only republicans are poor people?
That is what I get out of this...
... the victim class.
THE nattering nabobs of negativity !
No. We are the working and middle class people leading everyday normal American lives, worshipping God, raising nuclear families, expressing love of country. Bitterly clinging to God and guns, who are going to have to Make America Great Again, again.
Not all fit in your narrow mold.
Working and middle class people leading everyday normal American lives DO NOT spend all of their time raging against "bi coastal secular progressive elites". That's what right wing extremist propagandists do.
The God and guns always gets me...
I now picture Jesus strapped with an AK.
bitter clingers leaving the country is the only way that's ever going to happen.
But wait, I'm a working middle class everyday normal American with a wife and two daughters and love my country, is it simply not worshipping your God that prevents me from being a whiny member of the white Christian victim class?
We are never going to leave.
More secular elitist oriented posts intended to put down believers who are working and middle class flyover country Americans
No. We are the working and middle class.
and so are we
Maybe it's not the "elites" that are the problem. I come here (NT) and post about my beliefs all the time and gordy & Tig comment and ask questions, but never condemn my beliefs. Could it be you have so much trouble with non-Christians criticizing your religion because you are always whining about being persecuted when in truth you have not been? Or could it be because you tend to call anyone that is not a Christian unpatriotic and keep claiming the US is a "Christian nation"? Or could it be that their questions make you uncomfortable & doubt your beliefs?
Why do you feel it necessary to tear down others to build yourself up? Do you do it because you are dissatisfied with your life? Why keep posting these "poor me" seeds?
Some people are compelled to cast themselves as victims. Most people are not so pathetic (thankfully).
That is so true. I know many Christians of varying sects and none of them act, whine and put on sackcloth and ashes like so many here.
So many responses to the article here simply prove the point that the author was so correctly making. Just dripping with sheer condescending arrogance and utter contempt for so much of America, and the people living in those places.
Pretty much every one of my friends and family are Christians. With few exceptions, rather rational, down-to-Earth people. Unlike ...
Oh I think the criticism is much sharper focused than that.
Some people do a great disservice to Christians by making them look bad. These outspoken individuals do not represent Christians and are not the typical Christian by any stretch of the imagination.
Buy a vowel.
Why don't you respond to Veronica's comment? Is it because what she wrote is true?
So many sweeping generalizations in one article.
I thought it was a contest that Miles won for some amount of funny money.
Thanks for the laughs.
This isn’t an article about Christians. It’s about the condescension and arrogance of secular progressive elites and that attitude they have toward the working and middle class residents of heartland America.
More proof of the correctness of the content of the seeded article.
First, most secular progressives are the working middle class. Second, do you not sense any irony in expressing your toxic attitude towards secular progressives and the hard working, tax paying American citizens who happen to live along our coasts? You've been calling them just about every negative name in the book for years, which I'm sure is exactly what Christ would have done if he were in your shoes, right? "
"If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." - Matthew 5:39
Perhaps he meant to just turn your other cheek while punching the offender in the face... /s
They say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but the bitter acid you've been spitting daily at anyone who isn't a white Christian conservative has clearly left you with few people ever agreeing with you.
So you think you're a king just because some tart throws a sword at you?
Love that bit.
Either as "victims" or they pretend to be persecuted.
At this point, most of the true Trump supporters are brainwashed.
For some of them you are being extremely kind.
The article never mentioned Trump. It could well have been written in 2015 or 2016 during a different administration because that is where the elites are trying to drag us back to.
I generally try to respect other's views whether they be political or religious. Those freedoms were some of the the principles this country was founded on. I respect other's rights to do so and request they do the same to me. If people treat me with respect I will respond in kind and will respond back when verbally attacked because their views and mine differ. Whatever views I have on religion I generally keep to myself and my immediate family and close friends and are nobody's business on NT unless I choose to share them. Not all have the same views and there are some here on NT that detest me because I do not share their political views and will not back down to them. They know who they are. Because we disagree does not make either of us bad people. Either way I still wish them peace and still respect their right to their views.
I voted up your comment because I agree with what you wrote. However, I do not see how any of it applies to Veronica and thus presumed you were not implying that it does.
It did not apply to Veronica except as to how people's religious and political views apply to me. I very much agreed with her comment.
This article is about Trump, correct? Or is he and his family too elite to be elites?
Nope. The article never mentioned him.
Why not? His family are bicoastal elites? They make fun of people like you...and me...because we have to work to earn our money
But that won't stop certain people from trying to interject him. They seem to have that fanboy/girl thing going where they have to bring him up in EVERYTHING.
So, you want 'elites' to be just some abstract group of what? Manikins?
Just coastal Democrats silly....
Funny to me that some don't consider Florida or Texas coastal...
Exactly! And their every post simply proves the point the Washington Examiner article author was making.
What is his point? That there is no such thing as heartlanders who don't believe in a God? That all secular-progressives live on the coasts? That there is no such thing as a sec-prog that is raising a family? Doesn't hold down a working class job? Is not a member of the middle class?
Because I can tell you that here before you is a sec-prog that has raised a family, believes in hard work, and being a patriot. I just don't need God for those things
Oh...I also own guns and like to fish
Then he asks for that money.
If someone continues to insist that Trump won the election then I would advise that person to get used to being viewed in a less-than-complimentary fashion.
Some people leap into a pool of shit and complain that people suggest they take a bath.
Trump is not the topic of the seeded article.
I used Trump as an example for a point. Try to read more carefully.
He’s still not the topic but your posts perfectly prove the point the author of the article made.
One could write Merry Christmas and you would claim that proves the point of the author.
Merry Christmas!
let's see where this goes
Elitists are the topic and Trump is the poster boy for that.
No doubt! Look at the lavish lifestyle he leads. If that doesn't define elitism I don't know what does
Not into gold plated...Yikes. He always tries to decorate like it is some castle.
You spelled Xmas wrong again ! /S
Happy Holidays...
oops!
He turned against the elite to support us working class and middle class people and the businesses that provide us the jobs. He found the magic wand that obama lost.
Especially when he raised the cost of a membership at Mar-a-Lago from $100,000 to $200,000 as soon as he became President just so more working class and middle class people could become members.
Yes, he turned against the elites when he gave them large permanent tax breaks while making the measly middle class tax breaks temporary. Yes, it looks like he really turned his back on the elites with that move. (sarcasm).
To be fair, some people are smarter than you. Not necessarily the ones who think they are. But sometimes a person who thinks they are smarter than you . . . actually is.
Of course that doesn’t mean they deserve more or that they’re better people. But it is worth considering the idea that maybe sometimes we should open our minds to the words of people who are genuinely better educated about a topic than we are.
Who are they, you ask?
Well Miles resides in one of CA's wealthiest counties which houses Southern California's only five-star and five-diamond restaurants: Addison at The Grand Del Mar, and El Bizcocho at Rancho Bernardo Inn. The county also has forty golf courses and numerous boutiques and galleries that specialize in antiques, handmade jewelry, unique artifacts, fine art ... beaches from here to eternity ... nothing elite going on there. /S
Because making America great is anathema to the secular progressive globalist establishment.
The USA is always great, not because of the person in the White House or which bunch of twats control Congress
but because of a combination of rights, regulations and steady immigration.
It keeps the lights on.
So is this an article promoting socialism to end the elitism that has been a result of a capitalist system that is causing the worst economic inequity in the history of the United States?
Haha
Hmmmm.....seems I must of missed something. Oh, well.
I just loved the irony.
Used to be one of my elite skills.
No. It’s about replacing bi coastal elitist crony capitalists with genuine capitalism and fair trade.
What is "genuine capitalism and fair trade"?
When did we have it?
And why don't we have it now?
Start with the nepotists, in the UK "Bob's your uncle" is the operative description, in the US "Donald's your Dad" is the equal.
I honestly don't know what is meant by "genuine capitalism and fair trade", or if it is even possible.
I had hoped the person supporting it could explain it because it has repercussions for everyone in our country and for everyone our country does business with.
I know the details are probably complex, but I expect people to know the details and have the ability to provide the details when a program has this kind of economic impact on the lives of billions of people.
"Who benefits and who pays for those benefits" should always be questions that are answered before a person throws their support into things like this.
For decades, our elected representatives have been enacting programs that is causing massive inequity that is continuing to grow.
iiii's N joy being made fun of by "Elites" who think they are better than me" B cause who determines who or what is better for N E 1, besides themselves....?
