I’ve always seen that as a pride thing.

Much easier on the ol’ ego to put someone else down than to rise up. Makes ‘em feel good or something.

Also fits why so many elected Trump. He is as dull and ignorant as many of his followers. I guess you can say he speaks for them…to them. They see him do the same.

You know, it’s interesting to think about when it comes to Republican presidents. With the exception of Reagan and Dole, every Republican nominee in my lifetime has been a product of the elite. Now granted H.W Bush while definitely an elite is someone who I think unlike Trump didn’t take anything for granted. Meanwhile pretty much every Democrat exempting Kerry has been from a fairly modest background.
