well, they can consider themselves to be whatever they want, but if they don't have money and or that upper education they aren't normally going to be able to climb into a position where they can be in any power and affect anything. Call them elitist wannabes maybe :LOL:
You mean somebody like Sarah Palin, with a degree from a branch campus of a public university and no particular family pedigree or fortune?
Pfft. The name on the degree helps, family money more so, but it's certainly not impossible. So again, what's the difference?
Palin is not an elitist. Elitists don't pander to the middle class the way Palin obviously is. In fact elitists aka aristocrats HATE the middle class or the proletariat
But I thought people without what you call "upper" diplomas and/or money never made it into a position of power or influence?
