You sure as shit don't have to be in an elite group to find many red staters backward and reactionary.   Or live in a city.   Or have money.   All that's required is an awareness that some people will build a cult of personality around even the most corrupt con artist criminal if he tells them they can travel backward in time.

liberal elite
noun [ C, + sing/pl verb ] UK ​  /ˌlɪb.ər.əl eˈliːt/ US ​  /ˌlɪb.ər.əl ɪˈliːt/

a group of people with education, money, and other advantages, often living in cities, who have liberal political views and are seen as not understanding the problems and views of ordinary people:

Many Americans felt the Democratic Party was governed by out-of-touch liberal elites who looked down on red-state America as backward and reactionary.

Meanwhile, America has been purchased by conservative elites who not only look down on red-state Americans, they play them for suckers.

Ah, thank you.

A term used by resentful people about those who have less money and less education. "You may be smarter than we are, but you cannot possibly understand our situations!"

The same resentful people who don't think science is real when it tells you about climate change, but do when it is convenient.

Got it.

People who blame immigrants for their own failings.

The deplorable ones are the bigots. Check your own mirror.

A lot easier and more productive to help build up the social infrastructure there than to bring their issues here. Yes no one was more perfect than HRC and she stated it in every speech to the deplorable ones in her 2016 run. I am your moral superior, we need more immigrants. But wait

---Clinton In 1993: "We Are Left With A Serious Problem, Because We Have A Number Of Undocumented Workers And Illegal Aliens In The Country Right Now." CLINTON: "But we are left with a serious problem, because we have a number of undocumented workers and illegal aliens in the country right now. And they do show up in our emergency rooms, and they do use our public health facilities." (Hillary Clinton, Committee On Ways And Means, U.S. House Of Representatives, Testimony, 9/28/93)---

---Clinton: "We Do Not Want To Do Anything To Encourage More Illegal Immigration Into This Country. We Know Now That Too Many People Come In For Medical Care, As It Is." CLINTON: "As to illegal aliens, we agree with you that the comprehensive health care benefits should not be extended to those who are un-documented workers and illegal aliens. We do not want to do anything to encourage more illegal immigration into this country. We know now that too many come for medical care, as it is. We certainly don't want them to have the same benefits that American citizens are entitled to have." (Committee On Energy And Commerce, U.S. House Of Representatives, Hearing, 9/28/93)---

A major flip-flop to ensure the Latino vote or just her usual play for pay?

I very seriously doubt that Kiid could demonstrate that he has even a simpleton’s understanding of what MS13 is.

Luee, Hillary was your girl if you think developing South & Central America and even Mexico is the best answer to stemming the flows of immigration. Make every place better so people like and stay where they are. Part of that though is treating people like people. This means giving them some say in the matter while you help improve their lives. Hillary had been working on this for more than 20 years. In a less public way, she still is.

This improving our neighborhood is a process trump sets back every single day.

Did Hillary take some lumps as well as some arrows for her country and her side. Yup. She’ll carry on. Like the late President Bush, she has character.

I agree on the Donald being terrible for the country as corrupt and delusional as he is but HRC handed him the election by tying herself and the democratic party to some very unpopular lost causes. No I do not want the trickle down but I also do not need America to take on the burden of all the failed societies around the globe.

Trump:  “maybe he did or maybe he didn’t."  Just no way of knowing.

CIA:  He did it.

Trump:  crickets

Trump disguised his fear and unwillingness to act on the brutal murder of a US resident and journalist behind the false assertion that the intelligence on the issue isn't decisive.  So now that it has only become more so, his lie is exposed.

As with Climate Change...same play, over and over.

Trump creates a crisis so that he can claim victory when the situation reverts back to the status quo.

As with North Korea...same play, over and over.

And the same people buy into it every time.

Still wondering why it is that Trump and others in the GOP who are the champions of the sanctity of our elections, who assure us that threats to our democracy via voter fraud are around every corner, are saying nothing about North Carolina:

https://www.npr.org/2018/12/01/672531061/amid-fraud-allegations-state-election-board-wont-certify-north-carolina-house-ra

LOL.  Just kidding.  I'm not wondering at all.
