The Bourgeoisie are the elite in liberal democracies, and liberalism is their ideology. Hence the name "liberal elite".
Do not confuse liberalism with progressivism or leftism. It's dead centrist at the moment.
There's no such thing as liberal elite. If you're a liberal and you don't believe in anyone who is elite, it goes against the ideology.
You should try explaining this to the liberal elite. They absolutely believe in it.
Just look at how they talk about people who live in rural areas.
Citizen: can we get universal health care?
GOP: no Dems: no #BLM #LGBTQIA+rights ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Basically this.
I mean I agree with you that happened but also you know there are people in the democratic party who try/are trying. What you're saying is funny and easy to say but in this conversation it's just not true.
Ahistorical nonsense. They don't believe in a nobility by birth, but they absolutely believe that some people "are just better than others" and who should rule. Its so foundational to the ideology that its written into the US Constitution. Anyone who believes that capitalism is a meritocracy (ie Liberals) believes there should be a liberal elite.
