just seems to me evidence of the failure of anti-populism among liberal progressives. elitism is not necessarily the signal problem here, bc fewer libs rlly believe they're a kind of "virtual aristocracy." but we still need to "meet the ppl where they are," make arguments, etc.

liberal-left falls into the trap of "liberal elites" labeling in part for a lot of reasons, one of which being the contention that "it's not my responsibility to educate you," which comes off as weakness/lack of argument. we *are* weak on debating, and clam up when our side is wrong.
