Serious qestion: I feel like I'm being gaslit. Where does the perception of "Democratic elitism" come from?

77. Ever heard getting Democrats to agree on anything is like herding cats?

Democrats have been demonized by Republicans as out of touch with the heartland of America because many Democrats are well educated, believe in science and medicine over superstition, and feel superior to undereducated non-critical thinking Republican voters that vote against their own best interests.

It is hard for some Democrats to take someone seriously that screams things like "keep the government out of my Medicare!", or complains about supporting urban cities when their tax dollars go for supporting services and infrastructure of smaller scattered communities, or is anti-immigrant but relies on immigrant workers.

Since Democrats believe in equal and equitable justice for ALL, it is easy for Republicans to instill fear that some sub groups voters have been indoctrinated to have a visceral hatred towards that they have had little to no contact with, are also entitled to government protections and resources. The fear is that there will be less for them, if the government helps others.

The truth is not all Democrats are over educated non-believers. I would dare say over educated non-believers make up a minority of the party.

Democrats are not as good at getting their message out. Democrats have allowed Republicans to falsely define Democrats.

If you ask about policy issues, most voters align with Democrats. Too bad voters did not vote based on policies.
