Much of the contemporary right promulgates the idea that these kind of elite consensuses are all bad, that the institutions are off the rails, and we need to reclaim society for the wisdom of the common man. That would mean becoming more Canadian on suicide not avoiding it. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone is entitled to a dose of hypocrisy on populism vs elitism, but it's important to actually be aware of which is which and what side you're on. US conservatives tend to misunderstand the dynamics on this topic, their enemies here aren't lib elites but the mass public. — PolitiTweet.org
