"I Can't believe I'm sitting next to a Republican"

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.”

I guess she is an “intellectual” that were are “anti” about. The evil elf, Katie, thinks way to highly of herself. You are not an intellectual Katie, and, oh, we just don’t like you, period.
And no clue as to the fact that actions have consequences—none, zero, and are so surprised when stuff happens that they didn’t foresee.
Just how intellectual is a twit who has a colonoscopy on a morning show?
Duh, Katie, do ya think we ain’t got no brains like you got?
Katie Couric and Bob Costas are the same person except Katie is more masculine.
Her idea of what intellectualism is when you can get away with things.

Did Perky wear her smart glasses when she pontificated?
Intellectualism: a mental state attained by the application of intellect to the exclusion of all other possible forms of thought. A self-defeating, restrictive, approach to attaining a heightened mental acuity. Intellectualism is ostensibly practiced by progressives and is a preferred state due to its inherent exclusionary and racist existence that fortifies and reinforces the practioner’s world view. Also known as mental masturbation.
University parasites (98% of the humanities and a majority of the formerly hard sciences) are not the elite. Universities became what they are today because sportsball gives them one more group supporting more funding, even though only The Ohio State football is the only profitable (to the taxpayer) sport. All other university sportsball consumes tax dollars.
Hate and censorship rules all government universities, leading to a majority of K-12 teachers supporting child mutilation, terrorism, climate anti-science. Plagiarism, falsifying data, and in general wasting money pursuing fake academics, starting with the leaders of Harvard down to our elementary school teachers. Most teachers-in-training are good little state socialists eager to destroy the families and become the exclusive influence on our children.
Anti-a@@-hole-ism would be more accurate. I wouldn’t call leftists “intellectual,” just because they mistake erudition, a degree and money for actual smarts.

“Intellectualism is ostensibly practiced by progressives and is a preferred state due to its inherent exclusionary and racist existence that fortifies and reinforces the practioner’s world view. Also known as mental masturbation.” I humbly nominate that as Free Republic’s post of the day.
Katie never was any kind of intellectual and wouldn’t know one if bumped into one.
I despise so-called intellectuals. These are the smarmy jack-wagons that think they know so much and how to run everything so much better than the rest of us.
Piss on them all!

Leftists and Democrats always like to use big words. Words with normal meanings which they have to disguise for what they really are.
For instance, FGI (the new DEI initiative) really means quotas.
Actually, their entire lexico is just a compendium that breaks down to its simplest “white people are evil.” But only the MAGA ones, mind you.
See is mixing up the words.
It’s …..Elitism!
The last time I had the misfortune to watch Jenna Bush, she was proudly telling the world she doesn’t wash between her toes in the shower-!
Who raised THIS stupid broad, Katie?
This is not a subject to be discussed in polite society, much less all across America!
P.S. Jenna, I bet your feet stink!
The soap and shampoo suds that run down your body
is not enough to clean them!
Not only stupid but gross as well!
