Simply put, they hate Trump because he represents ordinary Americans — those who are not part of the political and corporate elite, who lack the advantages and connections of the Deep State, who are not media, academics, or celebs. President Trump puts ordinary Americans first, and it drives the elite nuts.
The elite have spent so many years enjoying their advantages, including the psychological advantage of despising ordinary people, that they panicked when someone tried to take it all away from them. They can't go on living without that warm, reassuring sense of superiority.
Contempt for average Americans was palpable in Hillary Clinton,

For another view of the broader versions of this same issue, and a really intelligent discussion of the national implications of the current situation, this is really worth the time. It is interesting to note that this national security discussion started prior to Trump becoming engaged in politics.
Retired Brigadier General Spalding (USAF) discusses his viewpoints on the Chinese Communist Party's actions, past, present and future - and how we should respond if we want to survive.

They hate us because we are in the way. They don't want us to have a say in how our lives are ran, and so far they have been successful in keeping us from having a say, by hiding everything, and disenfranchising our votes. The people are not allowed to see any documents from the government. Congress exempts themselves from the Freedom of Information Act. The Democrats follow their own rules, the Democrat Party protects them, and the Republicans we elect go along with it.

There are two kinds of Democrats.
The first kind think that they're smart enough to run everybody else's lives.
The second kind are dumb enough to believe the first kind.
This article is about the first kind.

That's a good take. In addition to the disdain these elites feel for us, they have to have an outsized ego to believe that they are so much wiser and better than we are. Sometimes it's an Ivy League school diploma that gives them that feeling...sometimes the wielding of petty power or being some sort of celebrity. It beats me how they can think that they are so damned important. The important people are like the guy climbing the utility pole in a thirty mile per hour icy wind to get our neighborhood's power back on or the trucker driving through six states to get groceries to the stores. I don't want to leave out our nurses, grocery clerks and care-givers. These are the important people...not Hillary Clinton who couldn't change a tire or fix a leaky sink if her life depended on it. Only "little" people do that sort of thing in her world. And can you picture Jerry 'Fats' Nadler trying to drive a truck or Chuck Schumer even knowing how to jump-start a car with a dead battery? Filthy worthless politicians of less use to this country than barn rats.

A must read. I couldn't agree more. It is "us w/Trump" vs. "Them"- the D.C. Cabal- which consists of almost every member of the CONgress, the courts, the enmedia, academe, K Street, and the foreign subversives pleasuring them on the side. They hate us. I despise them.
Their brazen, arrogant attempt to steal this election is a demarcation point to me. It's now "time to not be nice" any longer. IF they get away with it, our constitutional republic is over. For the sake of our posterity, we cannot allow them to succeed.
If the Roberts court doesn't have the requisite courage to correct this, WE are the final recourse. Nearly half the population feels that the election was fraudulently decided; even a third of Demonrats polled know it. If that isn't enough for this cabal to reconsider, the consequences which will follow are on them.
May God bless and save America.

#6, Exactly!
Please note recent polls showing over 3/4 of pubbies and over 1/3 of democs, along with others, constitute more than 1/2 of this Republic's citizens. There's a whole lot of fed up citizens, and the media ought to be in first place for opprobrium, and other much more severe acts, even before the treasonous politicians.

Remember what the man said "It is you they hate, I am merely in the way". More true than ever.

First of all, you should always use the modifiers, "self- anointed" before the word, elites. I really think they hate Trump for a few reasons: one, they envy him. When Trump retires he will not stay in D.C. I am sure he cannot wait to get out of there. Heard someone say that it is the most corrupt place in the country - maybe the world. And when he does retire, he will be a happy man. Good marriage, nice kids and grand kids, lots of money and. I am sure, lots of good friends he can rely on. Another reason they - s.a. elites, that is - hate him is because he did not need them to win the Presidency in 2016, and they are still annoyed by that. And the political operatives want him to get paid back for not needing them then, by helping him lose now. And if all the s.a. elites look down upon the common man, then why do they need drugs, alcohol and call girls to help them feel they lead a happy life? Anyway, I don't envy them, but I really think if they dig deep enough, they have to admit to themselves that they do not hate the President; they envy him.

True, but they mainly hate him because he's a threat to their elitist way of life, which they obtained at the expense of the country, national security, the citizens' standard of living, etc. They are TRAITORS of the worst kind and Trump stands in their way as well as exposes who they are. China cannot finish us off as long as Trump is working on our behalf. If and when he is no longer our leader, we the people will HAVE TO find a way to keep his work going or there is no hope. That is why it is imperative he finish exposing and purging (prosecuting) the traitors before he leaves.

#10, I’ve always believed that envy is the root of Mooch’s surliness and anger. Deep down she knows that she didn’t earn or deserve a single thing that has been handed to her and that she’s done nothing remarkable in her life. She envies people like Melania who is happily married, speaks 5 languages, has a wonderful son and is drop dead gorgeous.

Bottom line, a non-politician beat them soundly at their own game. Every fast ball was hit over the fence. Every 125 mph serve was returned for a winner.

These elite threatened to leave America because of Trump, so why are they still here? Maybe they will run when Joe takes office because it does not sound good.
