Are Progressives Elitist? (wisdom, carry, examples, elect)

Elitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Élitism is the belief or attitude that some individuals, who form an élite – a select group of people with a certain ancestry, intrinsic quality or worth, higher intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes – are those whose influence or authority is greater than that of others; whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities, or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.

Do you agree with the conservative belief that those on the left look down on rural, white, Christian Americans?

Yes, along with looking down on urban black poor Americans. One they distain, the other they patronize.

Not necessarily, I just think that they are displeased with some of their views and ideals.

I only "look down on" the ones who think they're a ''select group'' who are ''saved'' (and that everyone else is going to hell), or who think they're ''real Amurikins'' and ''real patriots'' (unlike the rest of us), and who look down their own noses at ''educated elites'', ''feminazis'', ''lib-ruls'', atheists, muslims, gays, minorities, joos, etc.... and basically anyone else who ''ain't like them''!

Absolutely. Obviously when it comes to a clear cut black and white question like that they will deny it. But actions speak louder than words.

If that makes progressives elitist, then logically, regressives are elitist too since they hate anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, male, and wealthy.

Interesting.

Any examples of notable conservatives actually claiming that they (as you say) "hate anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, male, and wealthy"?

No?

I didn't think so.

Elitism exists on both sides.

I don't see the point of this thread.

Elistism exists in conservatism.

Elitism is systemic in progressivism.

That's the point.
