"vocal and well educated people who want to control, from above, the behaviours and knowledge of those who they see as below them" seems like a very accurate description of Mr. Trump, Ms. Coulter, Ms. Palin, Mr. O'Leary, Mr. Manning, Ms. Leitch and co, not to mention our own Breitbart light. These people want to have punitive taxes on labour while minimizing taxes on capital. They are interested in their taxes being lower and not taxes being lower. They believe they have special knowledge on issues like climate change. They would like to impose their social norms on behaviour. They are all in the top 1% of society and advocate policies that preferentially benefit that 1%. Sounds like elites to me.
