It really can be anyone who has a mind not very commonplace at all. It can be groups of people who have an opinion so very rarely uttered, a group with IQs exceeding average levels, the rich folk who have enough wealth to influence our country, people who say words that the majority won't even understand or don't make any sort of sense, or even people who simply just have a mind of their own.
While granted this is not necessarily a bad thing all the time, it can be if you happen to be unintelligible, or just plain uncharismatic in general.
