Katie Couric: Many Trump Voters Motivated by ‘Anti-Intellectualism
Breitbart ^ | 04/16/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/16/2024 10:41:18 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former CBS ”Evening News” anchor Katie Couric said Sunday on comedian Bill Maher’s podcast “Club Random” that many of former President Donald Trump’s voters were driven by anti-intellectualism.

Couric said, “I’m talking about overall income inequality and even taking race out of it, the huge chasm between the uber, uber, uber wealthy and people who don’t have 400 dollars in and emergency, it has never been such a stark divide.”

She continued, “The socio-economic disparities are a lot and class resentment is a lot and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these anti-establishment, which are Trump voters, or anti establishment voters so, I think that is a huge problem that we have to address. I mean globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society. I mean I don’t know if you’ve ever been jealous of someone else or resentful, it is such a corroding and bitter, almost bile feeling. And I think that when people who are really struggling see people who have everything and on top of that are looking down on them it is just a recipe for such anger and grievance.”

After hearing Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee pontificate about the moon being composed of “gases,” I rest my case.

Look up the word “skank” in the Oxford-American Dictionary and you’ll see Katie’s portrait. She’s both a noun and verb.

I can tell you Jenna Bush isn’t designing rockets in her spare time, either.


Yeah, I’ve seen a little bit of her too. The airwaves are filled with ditzy broads, porky pants crappers, and limp-wristed weiner lickers.

There’s not a real man anywhere.

Deep State directors(behind the camera)...directing their porn stars(in front of the camera).

Deep State pimps, who's whore's do all the dirty work.

Take your pick.

The lethal venom injected into the veins of America will not stop, until the head of this "shadow government" snake is removed.

While Biden himself can neither spell anti-intellectualism nor pronounce it.

The big con is spouting veiled Marxist tropes while actually being filthy rich. The left actually murders all intellectuals who defy the regime.

I wear my anti-intellectualism as a badge.

Yet the high IQ, big education leftist intellectuals are employing censorship as their arguments are indefensible.

I know fans the IQ test exist around these parts.

A test created by leftist intellectuals that results in leftist intellectuals being labeled intelligent.

Taleb calls them the IYI=Intellectual Yet Imbecile as they have an unparalleled record of futility to the point of wonderment.

Insert that pic of: Micheal Moore, Lizzie Warren and Bernie Sanders discussing wealth inequality despite being worth obscene millions.

It’s funny the left thinks itself so dang smart, and somehow we are knuckle-dragging Neanderthals. Personally, I don’t believe leftists have any sense at all. No critical thinking skills whatsoever.
