So “establishment” means incumbents? So incumbents are the “elite”?

That’s what you’re saying, which is absurd, but what you’re really thinking is that your people are better than other people

I know is not a deliberate motte-and-bailey, it’s just so fully baked in that you can’t be objective about it

Sorry, but if you don't know what anti-establishment means then you're too uninformed to be part of this conversation.

Wikipedia has a great definition if you care.

Imagine "the establishment" taken over by the worst people as you define it. Perhaps Trump and all the Trump associates you dislike most. Steve Bannon, you name it, the worst people you can think of.

Would you call them elites?
