..."the myopia, narcissism and superciliousness of the liberal elites over the past six decades."

In the American Thinker, Steve McCann writes in part,

…After eight years of Barack Obama, the liberal elites viewed the ultimate objective of assuming near-permanent governmental power as being inevitable and within reach. Thus, their condescension now extends beyond the African American community to the Hispanic populace, and their overt disdain for vast swaths of citizens routinely described as “deplorable,” “benighted,” and “uncouth” is no longer hidden. However, their erstwhile allies, the socialist radicals, viewed the eight years of Barack Obama as the prelude to their ultimate objective of permanently transforming America being inevitable and within reach.

The transformation the socialist radicals seek will subsume their liberal allies, as there is no room in the structure the socialists are building for the elites and their wealth, as well as their unfettered and hedonistic lifestyles. While some are waking up to this reality the vast swath of those self-described progressives and liberals are oblivious. Thus, the socialist radicals have power far beyond their numbers.

Meanwhile, on the Democratic presidential campaign trail, virtually all policy discussions revolve around unpopular radical socialist dogma. The primary variation is the timetable to achieve these transformative policies. Those that might ordinarily be more moderate or liberal are roundly criticized if they stray too far away from socialist dogma and thus stand virtually no chance of winning the nomination.

…Meanwhile, the Republican Party and conservatives must follow the example set by President Trump in order to permanently relegate the American Left to the ash heap of history. Donald Trump uniquely can relate to and communicate with those in flyover country or the urban centers regardless of ethnicity, education or income. He is able to do this because he is incapable of being anyone other than himself, and he truly has an affection for this nation and its people. African Americans, Hispanics and blue-collar whites, who for so long have been either denigrated, mocked or patronized, instinctively know sincerity when they see it and are tired of being pawns in the quest for unfettered power and ego-gratification by the Left and the liberal elites.

The Republican Party has the once in a lifetime political opportunity to change its perception and become the party of the working classes and to remain in power well into the future. All thanks to the myopia, narcissism and superciliousness of the liberal elites over the past six decades.
