Perhaps the most mind boggling aspect of modern social politics is this talking point that politicians and people with extraordinary amounts of wealth “hate the establishment”. Politics, at its core, is a game of power, money, and consolidation-mix and match however you want. Normal people agree in that we don’t like it-said people with extraordinary amounts of money don’t typically benefit us. But politicians saying it means they don’t like the competition that the establishment brings, competition that is inevitably healthy for protecting our interests in the long run.
