Sidebar; Notice how the right entirely stopped using that term once they elected one (Trump)? Funny isn't it.

No they use it. They are immune to the hypocrisy.

You just don't get it, the draft dodger born with a silver spoon who lived in a gold plated New York high-rise doesn't count as a coastal elite because reasons.

They actually didn't for quite some time. Hearing Tucker Carlson call the Coastal Elites out was really funny, considering who he is.

Remember, they called Obama a celebrity because he was very popular, and people wanted to take pictures with him, and that was apparently a bad thing.

But a literal celebrity who was on TV for years is "different."
