kings? priests? parris? we have become “too democratic”, says andrew sullivan. the “passions of the mob” have become too great a player in political life. we need a better “elitist sorting mechanism” to prevent people’s “untrammelled emotions” from dominating political discourse. there is much talk of “low-information voters”, or “low-information white people”, as brennan calls them: a modern, pc way of saying “the underclass”. everyday people are ill-suited to big politics, apparently, because they know little and are driven by rage over reason. in the words of leading american liberal magazine the atlantic, the masses are “ignorant of basic facts”, meaning they cannot “act reasonably and rationally in the political process”. the elitist fury that has greeted the low-information mob that voted for trump echoes what was said after brexit. the temerity of 17.4m brits to vote to leave the eu, when so many of our betters instructed us to vote remain, sent the establishment and commentariat into a rage that overshadows any rage from below. it was ridiculous to ask “ignoramuses” to decide on the future of the eu, said famed atheist richard dawkins. the public, being ignorant of “the highly complex economic and social issues facing our country”, should “have no say on our eu membership”, he said. leading philosopher ac grayling denounced the politics of the “crowd”. “rule by crowd acclamation is a very poor method of government”, he said, since most members of the crowd, dim-witted specks in the mass, are susceptible to “misinformation, distortion, false promises [and] tabloid urgings”. that is, our minds are easily fried by demagogues and lying newspapers; we’re controlled more by sentiment than reason. post-brexit, elitists started to express their disdain for democracy casually and frequently. “what if democracy doesn’t work?”, asked the guardian’s george monbiot. maybe the idea that ordinary people behave as “rational beings” is a myth, he said. “never before has the fate of a country… been changed by the swing of such a blunt axe, wielded by… poorly informed citizens”, said belgian writer david van reybrouck in an essay hilariously titled “why elections are bad for democracy”. the horror of brexit shows that we must not allow “popular sentiment [to hold] sway over informed decision-making”, said former un official shashi tharoor. so let the smart rule the stupid? a pro-remain conservative said the eu referendum took a “noble idea, that everyone’s political views should count equally, too far”. so sometimes certain people’s views should be more equal than others’. there are now various legal efforts to overthrow brexit, to thwart the will of the low-information people. and a good thing, too, says a writer for the washington post, since it was “widespread political ignorance” that fuelled brexit. the chattering-class narrative is that brexit and trump are products of idiocy and rashness, and we should now rethink how often we ask the plebs to have their say. it’s naked elitism. and it should worry anyone who thinks of him or herself as progressive far more than the rise of trump or britain leaving the eu. it echoes dark anti-democratic moments in history. the idea that crowds are easily manipulated by demagogues and thus can’t be trusted is the same sneer that was made against the chartists, the great 1840s british movement to expand the franchise to working-class men. the “lower orders of the people” do not have a “ripened wisdom”, said one opponent of chartism. and this means they’re “more exposed than any other class” to be “converted to the vicious ends of faction”. such ugly snobbery is rehashed in the foul idea today that brexiteers and trumpites, being “low information”, were easily hoodwinked by “misinformation”. the idea that ordinary people lack expertise and are too ruled by emotion was also said of the suffragettes. as one historian says, women back then were seen to “lack the expertise” necessary for “informed political activity”. they were low-information. they were also said to have difficulty “forming abstract ideas”. they are too emotional, and “government by emotion quickly degenerates into injustice”, said the british journal the anti-suffrage review in 1910. now that is said about women and men: too many of them are driven by “feeling, emotion”, in the words of andrew sullivan. and we can’t have government by emotion, can we? from the victorian period to the dark days of eugenicist thinking in the early 20th century, there was a profound discomfort among the elites with the idea of democracy. now it’s making a comeback. crowd politics gives rise to “blubbering sentimentality”, said bismarck in the 1800s; government
