The terms "globalist" and "elitist" are thrown out frequently by the MAGA crowd and would like to nail down exactly what does it mean to be either. As to globalist, the economies of every major country in the world are global, and most large companies are international in nature. So I'm curious what specific actions or agenda an american may have that makes them a "globalist" versus someone who rails against globalists?
Same with elitist. For most of my life, I considered the word elitist to refer to folks who perhaps were born into wealth, went to boarding schools, then ivy league schools or other colleges that they likely could not have gotten into without their wealth, they pride themselves on having the best of everything, flaunt their status, and generally don't ever mix with the lower classes.
Obviously the MAGA crowd uses the term for something completely different. And I'm curious who fits in the "elitist" versus not elitist crowd.
