(This was recorded in 2020, it sounds very much the solution was and is President Donald J Trump! But the elite today don’t just hate the non rich, they hate the Country and want a society like Russian that fell to communism.)

February 6, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — During a wide-ranging conversation about culture and politics with pro-life activist Jonathon van Maren, renowned sociologist and author CharlesMurray explained the growing divide between what he calls “the new upper class” and ordinary Americans.(what’s going on in Ireland now is an example of this now.)
Murray,born in 1943, is perhaps best known for his work at the American Enterprise Institute.
Murray explains to van Maren that while the United States hasalways had rich people and poor people, ithasn’t had “a new upper classwhich saw itself asculturally distinct from the rest of America.”(You just need to have to see the rich that were very happy with Charlie’s shooting death to understand that)
Murray argues thatwhat makes the elites of today radically differentfrom those of the past is thatthey are isolated from the rest of the country, and that their family life, leisure time, andbasic cultural norms are not in stepwith middle- andlower-class Americans, whomthey view with condescension and derision__.
“I’m not talking about a left liberal upper class versus a different kind of conservative upper class.I’m talking about a difference in culture,” Murray explains.
“The new upper class is likely to be very dismissive of the traditional two-parent familiesin their writings [yet they] still get married in large numbers and they have their children within marriage and they behave, in terms of child upbringing, very responsibly.” (Statistics show they have a much higher divorce rate.)
That sort of reality is “very alien in low-income America, where you have very high proportions of children being born out of wedlock, people not getting married,” he said.
“Very low-income people,” Murray continued, “have dropped out of participation in the basic institutions of American life.” Previously, “there were all sorts of ways in which people with low incomes were full participants inAmerican society…that's changed.”
Some of the most obvious differences betweenthe new upper class and ordinary Americans is that they listen to NPR, watch some television but not much, and get married in their 30s. They also go on vacation, but not in places like Northern Minnesota. Rather, they go scuba diving.
“They show very little interest in trying to become less isolated from the rest of the country,” Murray argued.
“How has this change come about?” van Maren asked the conservative sociologist during their 45-minute exchange.
Murray said anumber of factorshave contributed, but thatultimately shiftsin theentertainmentindustry,university admissions, andeconomic policieshave all played a role.
Ridiculing organized religion, looking down on laborers who work with their hands, and a general de-emphasizing of the importance of family have also led to the chasm between the new upper class and the new lower class.
Murray saysAmerica is sorely in need of someone who can restore it to the original vision the Founding Fathers laid out for it.(PDJT came)
“Highly secular societies are going to break down,” he said.America needs a leader who can “start to restore some of the institutions … and make a huge change in the middle… but you can’t manufacture great people, male or female, just because you need it. You can hope that the occasion gives rise to them.But it’s a hope, not a plan.”
