Tim Noah: “Perhaps the objection is that Obama mocked not the proletariat but the nouveau riche. But to the limited extent Obama himself possesses richesse, it’s a whole lot more nouveau than Donald Trump’s.” So? Nobody’s snobbier about the nouveau riche than the nouveau riche who got there by winning meritocracy awards. https://t.co/Py9CDGkM8W

That’s why the responses that Cheesecake Factory targets the affluent–see, eg, @TimNoah https://t.co/qyOo8IhtAe — miss the point. Snobbery against the aflluent (by those who fancy themselves above the affluent) is still snobbery.

Snobbery of the real elites toward the nouveau riche and their “bourgie” ways is only slightly less unattractive than snobbery toward average working joes. And it’s worse in a society like ours when average working joes like to go to a bourgie restaurant every now and then.. https://t.co/84NkvMshRu

Democrats should be on high alert about any *hints* of class snobbery. a) It’s a bad thing in itself–a violation of social equality; b) it’s electoral poison because it pisses people off; c) it’s electoral poison because it reinforces an inherently limited cocoon of support. https://t.co/JGHqwje7C2

“The hard fact is that Nixon lacks taste”–Arthur Schlesinger Jr., 1960. (That was designed to win over skeptical Adlai voters, I believe. But class snobbery is still one theme of Dem politics and policy–eg. screw those hillbillies if they won’t learn to code when migrants do their former jobs.)
