I don’t even like the term “normie” because, honestly, that blinds us into a perspective that we are superior to the perspectives of most people; when there isn’t any actual guarantee of that superiority.
In the political world this word has taken on a similar meaning for the difference between commentariat and every day people and that's the way I use it in conversation.
