Maggie's Farm

It's pretty simple - Stockholm Syndrome. I'm being totally serious.

People who are predisposed to certain viewpoints will usually accept and embody those views when exposed to them over and over and over again. She may have started out reasonable - certainly her bio would indicate that she would be more likely to share middle class ideals than elite university ideals - but constant exposure to, and inclusion into, the faux elitist intellectualism of Eastern Ivy League schools created a whole new thought process for her. Her progression is typical - Novitiate, Acolyte, Priestess and eventually High Priestess - she became a member of the "intellectual elite" she naturally became one of the champions of governmental rule under the beneficial guidance of those who are superior.

The thing of it is that people like Elizabeth Warren aren't all that smart. They may have some capacity to collect and process random pieces of information, but as a general rule they have to have order and order means law and law means government. They see the vast majority of citizens as a mob operating under mob rules. They view themselves as champions of the mob against their natural enemies the "rich". They see everything as collectivist - nothing happens without the support of the whole.

Of course, the exact opposite is the truth.
