My point is that it's convenient to lay the blame for Trump at the "elite's" feet and at the left, democrats, whomever else for cultivating economic losers. But who's really to blame are Republican's and right-wing forces that have fanned the flames are racial resentment for the past 5 decades.

But who are the elites supporting Trump? Hollywood isn't. Gazillionaire like Gates, Buffet and Zuckerberg aren't. I agree the right wing forces have fanned the flames (tea party especially) but they're trying to fight for the little guy now.
