    The right wing have spent decades spinning competence, experience, education, etc…as elitism. Having hiring/firing power and billions at your command? That’s not elitism. Knowing things, and saying it out loud - that’s the REAL elitism.

    I think that’s partly why the “term limits” mantra (and the ageism that often goes with it) is rather annoying. The anti-intellectualism that is typically at root of that is why.
