    I've been arguing since 2015 that Trump isn't a populist but the voice of aggrieved privilege. Maybe people will listen now.https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1012142765948526592 …

    Trump scoffs at the "elite," calling them "stone-cold losers." This time he boasts about his base as "the super-elite" instead of just himself: "We got more money, we got more brains, we got better houses, apartments, we got nicer boats...we're the elite."

        You're reminding me of Session's extremely creepy family separation "joke" from the other day where he portrayed all critics of the vile policy as members of gated communities. Bizarre in so many ways.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1011720640129269761 …

        AG Sessions on immigration: "The rhetoric we hear from the other side on this issue—as on so many others—has become radicalized. We hear views on television today that are on the lunatic fringe, frankly. And what is perhaps more galling is the hypocrisy." pic.twitter.com/wspedYyhvr

        This take is right and wrong. Trump is talking to racially privileged white people who aren't especially economically privileged. He's calling them super elite to make them feel special in a world that is no longer automatically theirs. It's embarrassing how well it works.

        Is it fair to say a defining characteristic of the left-right spectrum is how people believe the benefits of society should be distributed? More right-wing means wanting society's benefits less equally distributed (more going to "deserving" parts of society)? Trump fits that.
