I believe they meant establishment politicians, not necessarily voters, which I agree with. If you support the same invasions, regime changes, racial profiling and prison slavery, etc, I don't think you get to claim moral superiority for being smarter in how you conduct yourself.

Your country was built by genociding multiple indigenous peoples and enslaving black people and treating them like property, to this day it's still very oppressive to both of these demographics, in addition to many other groups deemed undesirable by both liberals and fascists in power.
