But since her loss to Trump, Clinton and the liberal establishment she represents have become more and more deranged. So much so that they all seem perfectly willing to destroy every democratic norm, usually in the name of ‘saving democracy’ from those they disagree with. And the more hysterical and despotic they become, the saner Trump looks by comparison. This despite him being the same bombastic, unpredictable candidate who himself smashed norms of decorum on his way to the White House in 2016.

Not only does the one-party political establishment ignore the increasingly urgent problems that the American people are facing – from a crisis at the border to attacks on parental rights to a devastating drug epidemic that has killed over 100,000 Americans. The likes of Clinton also add insult to injury by giving the most shallow, glib and asinine explanation for the public’s enduring distrust of the establishment. In this particular case, Clinton claimed that Trump’s ‘very negative, nasty form of politics resonates with [voters]. Maybe they don’t like migrants. Maybe they don’t like gay people or black people or the woman who got the promotion at work they didn’t get.’ And just like that, Clinton ignores the countless real reasons why the views and values of the political class no longer resonate with vast swathes of America, and with the working class in particular.

TDS is a terrible drug.

I think it just enhances what's already there. These people hate Americans, especially working class Americans who have the audacity to demand a fair deal.

"Meritocracy" today could easily be translated as divine right. The PMC, more than any aristocracy in history, honestly believes that if you're in the working class it's because you're a lesser species.

Since (at least) the great welfare "reform" under Clinton, they've also embraced the notion of poverty as evidence of a moral failing, of the "deserving poor" somehow deserving to be poor. If you'll pardon the expression, it beggars belief.

The elites and their sycophantic minions are certainly the "entitlement" class.
