How is it that democrats can simultaneously be lazy welfare recipients as well as elites in their own bubble? A lot of this comes from people critical of Hollywood actors. "George Clooney is a millionaire. What does he know about the little guy like us?" Well, George Clooney wasn't born a millionaire. Sure, some actors are born into money, but many are just poor people trying to make it. Once they get that money they don't forget the small guy.
The truth is that we all live in our own cultural bubbles. It's human nature. It takes work to get out of our bubbles. It also challenges our beliefs when we leave our bubbles. The reason why I'm not a hyper-left democrat? I've gone out of a bubble (just a little) to learn conservative views and adjust my stance. Overall I'm a democrat though, because most democrat policies benefit people. Most conservative policies benefit the rich and corporations.
