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.”

What utter horseshite from a former cheerleader “intellectual” way past expiration date. Total projection and internalization of false narrative— brought on from living in a bubble and prior “journalism” human malware.

Definitely Dunning-Kruger!

Dear Katie,

You are neither "Intellectual" nor "elite".

You're simply an overpaid, script reading, snob.

“Too bad, reporters get away with silly comments as this. “

I live in a very liberal area- about two miles from the clinton’s. Its not just reporters and their comments- these people believe they are morally and ethically superior to us. The local high school, Horace Greeley, has had a rash of anti-semitic and racial incidents the past three years that would make most conservatives cringe. Yet despite this being their kids committing these actions, it just rolls off the shoulders of these people who believe they are better than everyone else.

Sorry, Katie, but the truth is YOU wouldn’t know the truth if you accidentally stumbled on to it. Not with your brain cells consisting of nothing but useless mush...

Oh, you favor “Intellectualism”, Katie? The same intellectualism that brought us $34 trillion in debt, migrant parasites crossing nonexistent borders, endless wars, decrepit, crime ridden cities, a dollar that is rapidly losing value, and a loss of freedom of speech and dissent in this country - THAT intellectualism?!

She said that the right suffers from elite class envy.

She thinks that everyone is jealous of her.

Demwits are so brilliant. We’re not worthy to be in their brainy presence.
