At least they are honest about it - they honesty do believe, (and have for many decades) that the common man and woman are not educated enough to be able to understand what is happing - and that we in their mind, do not deserve to get a vote, because we are not educated enough to understand...
But at one time - she would not be able to vote herself - in fact going less than one hundred years back in the past, she would have no right over her own body, no less able to put a vote - or to have an opinion on her own - it was the job of her man, or her father, and brother to have an opinion, on her behalf... And hopefully marry her to another wealthy family so she would breed another generations of privileged children - men for the business - and girls for be married off to others...
But they do forget the fact, that not many decades ago,they was scared about the "red scare" coming from USSR.. And they kept their ideas for them self, to after USSR broke down in 1991.. After that, it have been drip-drip attitude to the whole seas of disdain for the commons you look at today - They either do not care, or have no clue about the facts, who ended in the revolutions, who toppled the great empires in Russia - the empires of Austria-Hungarian - and the kingdom of France in the 1700s... They tend to forget, that if enough "commons" is tired about how they are treated, it could end in revolutions, one way or another..
But then again - they do the same fault, that everyone who believe they are better than the rest do - goes to a limit where everyone who able to look, is understanding what is happening. And then they discover that the "commons" are not just friendly baby sitters - but also an angry mob who could make them run for their life....
And guess - if they do not have had the "commons" to do their job, baby sit their children, cocking their food, and make their bed, they would have to do it them self - and then suddenly be "common" themself...
But then again - this is what the "elite" have always have spoken about the commons - even 2000 year ago - in writing no less, the roman elite was writing about the commons as beast who had to be kept in shackles - so they do not try to eat their masters... So this is Not exactly news for everyone who have studied history - in one way or another...
