Very clever way to word this post and try to discredit the article. Fascists love talking like this. Nonsense meaningless terms to discredit real concerns with the US's second largest party.

I just thought it was funny that the very embodiment of "cultural elite" talking head (Robert Reich) is the one in the news today warning us about just how fascist today's Republican party has become. I mean, he's not wrong and my "clever wording" might get some who would never read such an article to actually read it.

Maybe the wording is more clever than you thought? 🤫

The kinds of people who think that "the cultural elite" (Jewish people living in blue states, let's be honest about that dog whistle, it never seems to apply to Rush Limbaugh or Trump or Tucker Carlson or Elon Musk or Kanye West even though Robert's main claim to fame is being a Labor Secretary for four years in the nineties) control anything are also the kinds of people who take biased headlines as gospel and don't bother reading anything further.
