    The Democrats are definitely the party of elites: celebrities, experts, academics, artists, and intellectuals. While many of these people are relatively wealthy, their status as an elite is not defined by their wealth. Unlike the Republicans who prioritize wealth over essentially all else. But it does not necessarily require great expertise, academic success, or intellect to become very wealthy. The Democrats are the smart, cool, accomplished, and popular kids, the Republicans are the ultra rich weirdos.

    I don’t think the “average” person really likes either of these groups. The Democrats are the party of the people who think they are the smartest and most important people in the room, and they may be right but that attitude is very off-putting. And, again, the Republicans are extremely rich and they are insane.

    I don’t understand at all why anyone would want to vote for the ultra rich weirdos, but I do understand why people wouldn’t want to vote for someone who thinks they are more beautiful, more talented, more successful, more intelligent, and more accomplished than you, even if it is true.
