You can’t gerrymander concepts like that. Its a transparent rhetorical device that distorts meaning and will lead to equivocal frames “the glass is half empty or half full"

There is a discourse over the last few centuries on elite culture from Burnham and Pareto to Paul Fussell to David Brooks to lots of other people in between. I'm not gerrymandering anything, I'm participating in that ongoing conversation. https://www.amazon.com/Populist-Delusion-Neema-Parvini/dp/1922602442

Also if Mike Solana is not an elite, you need a different word for of touch with regular people, making decisions that benefit themselves at the expense of others, and being overly perked and prerogative
