Cultural Elites Hate You

Ed Driscoll, a regular at the Instapundit site, laments Robert DeNiro's shout of "F*** Trump!" at the Tony awards, and quotes Rod Dreher as follows:
I can’t imagine that many Trump voters were watching the Tony Awards last night, so they wouldn’t have seen that virtue-signaling display. But it will enjoy a long life on social media, where it will do Donald Trump a lot of good with the masses, because it will solidify their entirely accurate belief that the cultural elites hate them. De Niro and the standing-ovation-giving audience are so vain that they don’t recognize this.
The "standing O" DeNiro got for dissing Trump will do more harm to progressive causes than his statement, which is sort of the norm from "Hollywood" pond scum. The hate will soon be completely mutual, if it isn't already.
