If these "elites" woke up and only had $50 million they would jump off a bridge. |

In the US you need to make $800k+ to be in the top 1% as far as income.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Silverbulletz06: "Elite 1%" make over $150k/yr? I'm like a comfortable upper middle class with two family incomes making that. Most of my neighbors have household incomes of 250-350k/yr. I don't think the folks driving Hondas, Toyota, and the odd Acura/Lexus are going to be claiming elite status. Actually the most popular vehicle among millionaires is a Ford F150 pickup truck. A lot of the elite (money wise) don't bother with status vehicles. On my way to elite status I drove Hondas, a Dodge Intrepid, and now a 2016 Ford Mustang. Briefly toyed with getting a status vehicle and then came to my senses. |

This is because the elites know what is "right" for everyone else and they are the guardians against our own ignorance. They know better. If the liberal candidate lost, it is only because everyone else was not enlightened and our misjudgement must be corrected by the smart people.

They won't actually DO anything themselves, or tolerate any limitations on their own behavior. It's virtue signaling. And leftists on every level do it quite often.

Kind of like at a sporting event where a ref makes a obviously bad call at the end of a game that gives an opposing team the win where they would have lost otherwise. Are fans of the winning team going to protest and say: "The other team rightfully won. We are going to give up the victory to the rightful winner." It's usually: "Oh well, nothing we can do about it. Life goes on."

To be fair, I think the politically engaged on both sides would be ok with cheating. Cheating has been occurring just about in every election we’ve had from both sides yet somehow 2020 is some watershed moment. The mail-in ballots give the opportunity to ‘cheat’ with unprecedented numbers so until states enact strict controls this will continue.
