And Veronica Mars strikes again, too. One of its subplots is a weird but not prescient echo of an article I was just reading about Elite dislike of flyover country people which suggests a reason for that is that they're just not "comfortable" meshing or schmoozing with them ("Grey-matter deficient Americans" by Victor Hanson in the NR). In the latest Mars series, a charismatic, up and coming, liberal Arab-American congressman and his mother are definitely uncomfortable that his brother is involved with a "white trash" (the mother's words) woman whose Hillbilly brothers and mother seem to be drawn right from Hilary Clinton's Bucket of Deplorables. What's even more interesting, VM could just as easily have made an old socialist Archie Bunker like Sanders be the congressman, too. If there is one thing our elite increasingly seem to have in common regardless of overt political label it's contempt for those who just don't go to their parties.
