As you know, one of the centerpieces of the neo-fascist far right's strategy to take over the GOP, is to portray anyone but themselves (and that especially includes "country club" Republicans) as elitists "responsible for your many and worsening problems."

And they've largely succeeded.

The irony of it is, that they're right as far as the GOP - except that the rubes don't see that elites use neo-fascists as (well compen$ated) cover.
