New Yorker Snob on MSNBC: Trump's White Male 'Lower-Educated' Base Just Too Dumb

Today's AM Joy show on MSNBC provided a virtual parody of liberal-elite condescension to Trump supporters. Joy Reid kicked things off by finding it "confusing" that Trump's populist base supports him despite supposedly not "getting anything economically out of this plutocracy."

[snip]

Ultraliberal writer Jane Mayer of The New Yorker [infamous for co-authoring a book trashing Justice Clarence Thomas with Jill Abramson while they were reporters at The Wall Street Journal] explained to the befuddled Reid that Trump's "racist and anger-laced" rhetoric "excites the lower-educated part of his base, the white-male base, particularly. And so he's saying things that make his supporters feel good."

You can call me Daddy, Jane, but I’m still not going to do you.

Looks like these rich overeducated idjits are the ones getting the disease.

IIRC, the Bismarck scuttled itself (even after having sunk the HMS Hood with a long-range shot) and the Tirpitz was taken out by aerial attack while in a port somewhere in Norway or some other Scandahoovian country.

Not like, say, the battleship Missouri on board which Japan signed surrender papers.

"Trump's White Male 'Lower-Educated' Base Just Too Dumb"

Gee, I guess so. I've had more than 15 years of college education at some of America's greatest universities, a doctorate degree, traveled all over the world, speak three languages, and I'm in Mensa, and I'm a white male bona fide part of Trump's base...but...who knows?

I'm smart enough to understand that Trump TOWERS over those who seek to destroy him--intellectually and morally. They obviously lack the wit to understand it. So I'm obviously smarter than Trump's enemies are!

"Free people need a free press."

Yes, and they should also learn that free people in this country DON'T live in a democracy. They live in a Constitutional Republic, which your "free press" rarely gets right. Every time you socialist/commies say democracy, you convince me more that you are not true journalists. You can't even get the basics correct.

What we have is not a “Free Press” but paid for propaganda.

This twit went to an exclusive prep school (The Ethical Culture Fieldstone School; current tuition $53,000/year for a prep school), and then a boarding school in Hampshire England (Bedales). Her great grandfather was a founder of Lehman Brothers, so she was connected as a kid. With that background, the pseudo intellectual elitists on the Ivy admissions committees are definitely going to take you - so she went to Yale. She clearly has a very, very blunted understanding of the world, yet looks down on others as being uneducated. These are the kinds of people who should never be involved in any major decision making.

"...lower-educated part of his base, the white-male base."

Seriously? White males own your company and allow you to spew this hateful sexist crap. Again, how do you get out of bed with such hate immediately permeating your every thought? What an awful life for you.

The diss by comparison to the Nazi battlewagons was intentional on my part.

[A Navy Vet]

Good for you and your accomplishments.

[sauropod]

Jane Mayer is execrable. Always has been.

[kiryandil]

I was just thinking about the three guys who survived the sinking of the HMS Hood the other day.

Can you imagine all of the guys you knew on that huge ship - gone in an instant?

[kiryandil]

See my post #73 to see what the revolting POS has been up to lately.

[A Navy Vet]

Of course, that is why it was in parentheses.

[sauropod]

Then we need to take her down a notch or six.

White Trash, all of them.

A person’s true intelligence can be measured by his or her relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe in Jesus or reject Him. . .that’s our ultimate choice in life. Choose Jesus!
