I do not understand this phrase. All elites are authoritarians. Explain what a liberal elite is..? Truly what do you mean by that?

The Bourgeoisie are the elite in liberal democracies, and liberalism is their ideology. Hence the name "liberal elite".

Do not confuse liberalism with progressivism or leftism. It's dead centrist at the moment.

There's no such thing as liberal elite. If you're a liberal and you don't believe in anyone who is elite, it goes against the ideology.

Citizen: can we get universal health care?

GOP: no Dems: no #BLM #LGBTQIA+rights ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Basically this.

I mean I agree with you that happened but also you know there are people in the democratic party who try/are trying. What you're saying is funny and easy to say but in this conversation it's just not true.
