When This Blows Over

“There’s been a sense in the media that Trump’s
election constitutes a kind of national emergency
because he’s such an unqualified character and so
likely to lead us off of a cliff that it is the job of the
media to join the resistance and find out what must be
behind his election.”
“Yeah, part of that’s true, that they can’t believe how
it happened. They thought they had the election wired.
Hillary was gonna win hands down. They’ve had to
concoct the excuse to explain why she and they lost.
But I don’t think that the media gives a whit about the
country falling off a cliff. I don’t think they have the
capacity to care about that. I don’t think that’s what
the resistance to Trump is all about. I don’t think the
resistance to Trump has anything to do with these
people worried about what it means for the country.
I think it all has to do with them being worried about
what it means for them. These people all think they’re
elites! You know, when you get inside the Beltway,
when you get inside the Washington establishment, it’s
kind of like going to Davos. Class distinctions don’t
exist inside the establishment. You’re either in it and
you’re an elite or you’re not. There’s not elite level one
and elite level two and elite level three.
