    To Republicans, “elites” means having a college degree.

    Also depending on the context can mean “lives in a city” or “pays a mechanic to fix their car instead of gets their hands dirty” or “doesn’t go to church” or “makes fun of country folks / rural people” or “eats any food that isn’t fried or served in a disposable bag and eaten between 2 buns.”

    …But they’re never consistent, b/c they think that Trump, a literal billionaire who lives in a big city, definitely never has gone to church or gotten his hands dirty fixing cars… is somehow not elite.

    …I mean… he probably doesn’t eat anything that isn’t fried / between buns, but that’s about it.

    It’s incomprehensible / inconsistent.
