The Liberal’s Insufferable Superiority Complex
by
They truly believe they have a monopoly on intelligence and morality.
One of the many obnoxious characteristics of present-day liberal elitists that makes them so detestable is their deep superiority complex, their Sophomania, their delusional belief that they are intellectually—as well as morally—superior to everyone else, particularly conservatives whom they see as Neanderthals. They truly believe they have a monopoly on intelligence and morality.
Camille Paglia put it well: “Many highly educated, upper-middle-class Democrats regard themselves as exemplars of ‘compassion’ (which they have elevated into a supreme political principle), yet they routinely assail Trump voters as ignorant, callous hate-mongers.”
This smug Sophomania of theirs, combined with their self-righteous stance, is something that they bounce back and forth as they view with contempt the rest of the country, particularly the working class. When working class-Americans “dare to complain about the southern border or about jobs getting shipped overseas, what do they get called? They get called racists, they get called bigots, xenophobes, or idiots.”
The leftist writer, Christopher Lasch, wrote that liberals see the rest of the public as “hopelessly shabby, unfashionable, and provincial.” And in their way. Yes, the people are standing in the way of progress, liberals being certain of the lack of “capacity of ordinary citizens to grasp issues.”
Back in the 1930s and 1940s, the complete opposite was the case. The common man was seen as the salt of the earth, imbued with kindness, friendship, loyalty, and common sense. Frank Capra films illustrated this populist philosophy.
That has changed. Just like the esteem towards “populism” has changed.
Now, they openly voice their contempt for regular people.
In regard to the inflation caused by Biden and the Democrats, one elitist at The Atlantic stated that the inflation was the public’s fault for buying things. You know, things like food. Toothpaste. Gas. School supplies. Paying rent.
Country music is one of their bete noirs, as being the music of those with subnormal intelligence. They always consider Europe to be intellectually and culturally superior to America. It would send them into seizures to learn that American country music is played on some stations in the Austrian Alps, or that some bands, such as Los Secretos in Spain, use the country western format in some of their songs.
At PBS, its principal counsel was recorded stating, “Americans are so f****** dumb. You know, most people are dumb. It’s good to live in a place [like Washington, D.C.] where people are educated and know stuff. Could you imagine if you lived in one of these other towns or cities where everybody’s just stupid?”
Because in other towns, they don’t know “stuff.”
Liberals have a particular hatred for rural denizens. In fact, rural citizens are seen as a threat to “OUR democracy.” Journalist Paul Waldman and University of Maryland professor Thomas Schaller stated, “We lay out the four-fold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country. They’re the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geodemographic group in the country.” Democrat Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger is presently attempting to openly disenfranchise Virginia rural voters.
