Must be a tough time to be a liberal elitist. On one hand, your first instinct must be to disparage the ignorant unwashed masses who agree with populist politics (even if at the same time they remain unsure if Trump is the best person to carry such ideas/values forward)...and on the other hand,  you keep wanting to claim that the majority of voters voted for---or supported---someone other than Trump, and that that fact should be given great attention in declaring his presidency illegitimate.  Then there's the whole angle about being "for" Soviet Russia back during the Cold War, and yet being against Russians who still hold Soviet views/attitudes nowadays. So many other examples...so little inclination to spend much time typing them out...
