No!
Not as long as it threatens their “elite” agenda.
Will Elites Ever Respect Voters’ Decisions on Brexit and Trump?>>>>>
No.
And these elites have to change or be run out.They become patriots or out with them!
We in the USA used to run them out on fence rails after tarring and feathering them. As a matter of fact, Vermont’s Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys used to be especially good at that.
Barone states regarding the border wall, “which he negligently failed for two years to obtain from the Republican-majority Congress.”
Aren’t 60 votes in the Senate required to pass appropriations bills? If yes then having a mere majority is not enough.
Will voters give up the “freebees” stolen for them by the “elites”?
Don’t hold your breath.
Elite city folks may as well live on another planet.
I wouldn't call such folks "elites" so much as "synthetics."
In the same way that money permits a person to distance himself from reality, city living does the same.
Think about the world inhabited by farmers compared to the world inhabited by a city doctor, lawyer, accountant, nurse, or clerk. The city dwellers live in an artificially contrived world in which the common sense (and values) of a small town or rural person is rendered obsolete.
That's the general idea.
City living insulates folks from the hardships of small town and rural living. And it gives them license to live untethered from the values that make sense of small town life.
As an aside, let me add that there are many people in the cities who are not "elite" or "synthetic"...they are the men and women in the street. The construction workers, plumbers, factory workers, truck drivers, etc. Trump voter's.
I know this because after a career in the big city, I returned to the small town in which I was born and raised.
The bottom line though is that you can live a life that ignores reality, but you cannot live a life that can escape the consequences of ignoring reality.
Bottom line: The so-called elites hate the reality they are trying to escape, but they are also fascinated by it.
The salvation of our country and our world rests with the "real" people in the heartland and in the cities...not with the elites.
Elites—respect voters? Oh,come now!
No, and they will never voluntarily give up the privileges that such status confers on them. Like our freedom, control of our destiny will have to be TAKEN from those who largely control society.
We are at or near such an inflection point - as we were at the depths of the Great Depression. FDR, for as much as I despise what he did, at least recognized that some serious reforms were necessary so that ordinary people would realistically believe that they or their kids had an opportunity for upward social mobility. Again, I disagree strongly with many of the measures, and even the attitude that had about top-down control, but he did save us from an outright Leninist takeover by buying us some measure of breathing room (in terms of public confidence only - his economic policies were a DISASTER). WW 2 pushed all those problems aside, and left most of the non-US industrial capacity in ruins, so we enjoyed unparalleled prosperity for a full generation afterwards.
Today, there is such a high level of debt everywhere, and such a thirst for (the illusion of) permanent power, that IMHO only a violent sweeping away of the old order will suffice to actually change things. Lest anyone think that I look forward to this, it isn’t so. My family suffered immensely when the old order was destroyed in Russia 100 years ago, and they were assuredly not among the elites. Such conflict always gets out of control and devastates huge numbers of people.
They were 8 years away from a corrupt dictatorship in the U.S. Trump blew that up and they will never forgive him.
The mistake is giving the elites the choice as to whether to respect decisions on Brexit and Trump.
No.
“Will Elites Ever Respect Voters’ Decisions on Brexit and Trump?”
Yes they will after you threaten their mercenary armed guards. Once these mercenaries realize they can’t protect their property and families while also protecting the elites, the game changes drastically.
We saw that during the 1992 LA riots when all the cops abandoned their sworn oath to protect the city and instead drove their squad cars home to protect their property and families.
Lots of patriots missed this obvious lesson on how to effectively take down elitists. Remove the elitists’ muscle and take down the elitists.
We also saw that lesson in spades when Khaddafi was taken out in Libya in 2011 - remove Khaddafi’s elite palace guard and then go kill him.
