The epitome of the elites is the activist judiciary.

I call it "Classism."

However, I think that the change is even more basic. If I were to generalize, I see a huge philosophical devide. I see Republicans as having a faith that they can make a better life for themselves, if Government does not get in the way and yet they want Government to provide for certain basic securities like protection from foreign terrorism, keeping career criminals locked up, and some infrastructure things.

There are three groups in America:

  1. Those who want somebody to take care of them.
  2. Those who simply want to take care of themselves.
  3. Those who want to "take care of" (i.e. control) everyone else.
Conservatives are group #2. Groups #1 and #3 are liberals, for opposite but mutually-reinforcing reasons.
