Elites Gasp as Peasants Storm the Gates: Pass the Smelling Salts, the NYT’s Having a Meltdown

Oh, the elites are clutching their pearls. Please pass the Grey Poupon and the smelling salts.

Gross! The ordinary people and the unlicensed peasants are able to speak with and even influence elites in DC who are running the government. The NYT is horrified. pic.twitter.com/QkKC9tCaJi

It's possible to be both dumb and deceitful.

They have no idea how elitist they really are. https://t.co/QCpQFMRfnA

One can dream!

As best as I can tell, all legacy media people share a pathological form of megalomania. They believe they are wiser than the rest of us, special, more moral, and entitled to tell the world what to think and how to act, in every aspect of modern society. https://t.co/ozUuOImy61

There is some good news.

Yeah I can chat with a Congress person, Law Group, Think Tanks etc. and participate in ideas. Even get info to a committee and watch it show up on the floor during a hearing. That’s a Government for the people. We’re at the very very very beginning, but the unity I’m seeing is…

What a novel idea!

You would think that the more this happens (like with Musk) that eventually you would get some broader introspection from the Democrats. Even when it does happen, they got flogged along with other former democrats. They severed that pipeline themselves. pic.twitter.com/VarOBiJKEz

The Left doesn't do well with their members thinking on their own.
