The myth of the “liberal elite” strategically frames liberal values – environmentalism, racial and gender equality, gay and trans liberation, immigrants’ rights, the social safety net-as inherently frivolous, dishonest, a joke. By extension, the people who would benefit from the actualization of those values are “fake” Americans- the nation’s most vulnerable groups being called decadent effetes.
