Voters think Dems are elitist snobs because legacy media people are elitist snobs and many of those are the NYT and NPR people who read as "Democrats" to voters, despite them actually being people who hate Dems but love their rich GOP war daddies.
"Wouldn't it have been nice for us to have said this BEFORE the election rather than scream about the coming recession that never was? Haw, haw! Now excuse us as we bow down to our new overlord..."
