Sigh.
Thanks, Brown Deer.

On this point, animal-shelter worker Joe was unconvinced: ‘Trump is tapping into the people that are prone to hate, fearmongering and people who are just angry.’ As I move around the pen, ‘I get why they’re angry’ is said time and again. But it’s little more than a throat-clearing exercise. When it comes down to it, the anti-Trump protesters think his supporters are either racist, or plain stupid. ‘People who support Trump are uneducated’, said postgrad student Sally. ‘They don’t have broad minds about what’s going on. I think it’s intelligence.’ For all the talk of ‘making America hate again’, the people who were really being smeared or scapegoated at this rally were Trump supporters – working-class voters who dare to support someone who strays from the PC-politico script. Indeed, the only harsh words thrown at immigrants emanated from the designated free-speech area: as a group of Latin-American men walked past, heading to the rally, a gaggle of college students screamed ‘You’re on the wrong side!’.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Donald Trump. He’s a crass opportunist, who, for all his talk of sticking it to the freedom-squishing status quo, has more than his fair share of authoritarian tendencies. But this protest in a sleepy New York suburb, and the wretching that Trump has sparked among the cosmopolitan classes nationwide, isn’t really about him. It’s about his supporters: the dumb rednecks who, Sally and Co tell us, know not what they do.
Trump may not go the distance at the Republican convention in July, but this fear and loathing of the masses is here to stay.

Being Intelligent and being Smart is not the same thing. Being wise is more important than both.
What kind of intellectual snobbery wrote this drivel!
I am not a Trumpster, but I know my fellow FReepers aren’t dumb! Just the opposite!
Only a fool would look at both parties and think either’s machine represents the American people; people who supported Perot and Nader at least could think outside the box and wish for something more than the same old Uniparty (and I supported neither of those candidates).
No only have I seen the inside of one college, I have graduated from two very good ones ( undergrad and grad school ), as well as the progeny's.
Nor am I an "idiot'; but YOU most assuredly are one, as well as being a barely functioning illiterate !
“But he does draw heavily from the multiple-cars-on-front-lawn crowd.”
I’d take these criticisms more seriously if the media agent involved pointed out what kind of creatures were Obama’s biggest supporters. If the same author had pointed out eight years ago that Obama drew heavily from the “multiple welfare bastards on the stoop” crowd, I’d value the opinion a bit more.
DoughtyOne I am a VERY educated, business owning, gun owning, religious, VERY PISSED OFF, Trump supporting WOMAN!!! I WILL NEVER budge from Trump NEVER!!!! These BASTARDS need to go, and ANYTHING I can do this election cycle I WILL do! I frankly DON’T give a damn about their precious senate seats, EVERYONE of them are SLIME who DON’T give a damn about this nation, only about their greedy perks,DONORS and MONEY!!!
I wonder where all this garbage comes from, the DNC? Yes, Debbie Washer Woman Shitz does seem stupid enough, but I have a feeling it’s from local area news people trying to make a name for themselves.
Lol!
Cruzperados, why won’t you come to your senses?
The snooty elitist tedstablishment snobs should be careful, although we Trump supporters may not be Ivy League material, we are more than capable of going French Revolution on your aristocratic a$$e$.
That ain't gonna happen.
Eight States in the early primaries gave Trump the most people with advanced degrees.. And we're all geniuses next to Hillary's voters, but for reasons we all understand only too well, the MSM doesn't trash Hillary's voters.
Charming, right?
I feel sorry for the liars....always the whif of desperation...

Thanks, Brown Deer.
You got them all jump-started? Good to hear. Keep up the good work.
Trump supporters are uneducated?
It doesn’t take a college education to figure that out.
Lucyt,
Thanks for the ping!
Brown deer
Aaaargh, my eyes....
What has been seen...
Cannot be un-seen
She apparently hasn’t read stats about the distribution of education in America. She’s strongly outnumbered. ANY winning candidate will have more non-college graduates supporting them. But who’s more useful, a pipe fitter or a gender studies grad?
My cars are in the garage and they work quite well.
Do tell us all about how and where YOU live; sans the pipe dreams and lies.
You’d best get a college education, because obviously you are a barely literate fool.
Thanks!
I needed a laugh.
They claimed the same thing about Reagan’s supporters. This hoary propaganda is so old, it’s falling apart and only flakes believe and repeat it.
