The very same elite who go on Faux "News" constantly to rail against the "liberal" elite.

Having grown up in a partially Republican family, my maternal uncle and subsequently his only son, were both once chairmen of the Trumbull County Ohio GOP.....I can tell you this sounds about right. Wealth-worshipping and elitist to the N'th degree. I even recall my mother having a conversation with her brother about the "excellent breeding" of a mutual friend.

(My Dad was easily described as an FDR/JFK Democrat, yet quite Conservative in his personal affairs. Decent, hardworking guy who supported unions and civil rights efforts. It made for interesting arguments at the dinner table.)

Bottom line; I loved both my mother and my uncle. But, they did have some serious s**t with them. My mother always went on about hard work and how we would've "...had so much more if your father had some ambition.". I recall her never working more than a few months at a time at various low wage jobs. I remember Dad working a full time job in a metal stamping plant, a part-time job at a local gas station and painting homes on the weekends. He did that for years and yet the Republican woman insisted he was the lazy one...........

Sound familiar?
