elites run institutions that determine how society functions. most millionaires do not run institutions that determine how society functions.

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

There is no homogenous β€œwealthy class” culture in the US. There is a homogenous β€œpolitically correct culture” in the US.

I would argue that there's more homogeneity at the bottom due to common forms of resource management. nominal private consumption outside of that shared experience is noticeable & is easier to generalize from bottom-up rather than vice-versa.

In the US, the bottom is not a thing? It's 2 very separate things? https://www.wsj.com/graphics/polarized-presidential-elections/

no, I'm asserting that the bottom has universal qualities outside of superficial politics, this polarization can be attributed to the narcissism of small differences. but I would also note that literacy (the buffer to the above) is not black & white, but it is equally costly in the context of desperate survival.

someone that is existentially worried about just completing the bottom layer of maslow's hierarchy of needs is going to see elitism as any party that is consistently relieved from recognizable worries (like shelter & healthcare among others). it's a much more encompassing definition outside of middle & upper class.
