What I also increasingly see: the divide between the coastal elites and the rest of the USA.

It really irritates me to see that word applied to solipsists : ignorant, but extreme egocentrics

Maybe I'm just old, but "elite" has a positive, very useful connotation, a cachet that should never be allowed to be perverted for application to Enemy Domestic traitors.

Let's reclaim that word for Navy seals, Army Rangers, the SAS, the French GIGN, the German GSG 9, Mossad, and other heroes deserving of the word.

I LOVE your definition!! Of course, telling many on the Left they are "solipsists" would be just way over their head unless you clearly explain what it means.
