If Vice President J.D. Vance hoped to earn respect among international leaders with his speech in Germany last week, it wouldn’t work, according to one senior diplomat.

Left wing elites can’t help but call right wing leaders idiots for behaving like the average voter.
and despite what you think of them they are at least smart enough to make that connection.
Meanwhile the left keep making the exact same mistake by taking them at face value.
First rule of politics, learn to count.
The far right party in Germany had 10% last election, and is likely to get 20% this election.
1/5 is a lot, but it’s not the average voter.
(Btw, why use the framing “elites” for left wing and “leaders” for right wing?)
They are mixing US politics and German politics. That’s the only reason I could think of someone calling Habeck elite ;D
Edit to add that if you look at the money, the AfD and right-wing CDU are the “elites” or at least that’s how they like to see themselves.
