‘TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE UNEDUCATED’
spiked ^ | April 8,2016 | TOM SLATER

Posted on 04/10/2016 6:59:40 PM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

I just want to know if the smartest man alive (Cruz) is smarter than the smartest woman alive (Hillary). In fact, I have check my talking points because I thought that man-bear-pig was the smartest man alive. What does Ted say about what Algore says about global warming?

I went to the local county caucus and was surprised at how few Trump supporters there were.

About 80% were for Cruz. And 12% Trump and 8% Kasich.

It was a nice sunny Saturday. Plenty of things that I’d rather be doing. But for the sake of our country I committed to being there for all 5 hours for Cruz.

All 12 delegates from my District heading to the WA State Convention are Cruz backers.

Merely a part of Operation Sea Island.

Demean Trump supporters.

However in fact I know several that are very highly educated. And smart.

And they realize the same old paradigm needs changes. Trump is a change agent.

Cruz is establishment, Wall Street, K Street, career politician. Wife part of the package. Knock down nearly a $ million pa.

New thinking, a paradigm changer.

And all that is risky, and scares the devil out of entrenched established interests. They can predict and live nicely with Hillary, but not sure about Trump.

Little Ms. Braniac apparently doesn't have any to go along with her expensive leftist indoctrination.

Not all Trump supporters are idiots. Some have even seen the inside of a college.

But he does draw heavily from the multiple-cars-on-front-lawn crowd.

get it right!

It's hard. I am a low information voter and don't have teh reading comprehension required to keep up with the latest talking points. Maybe if they could send me the answers on flash cards so I can practice - but pictures - no words.

Most Americans who attended public schools are undereducated.

Look what the educated lawyer fools we send to DC every election cycle have done to this nation. Trumps a billionaire but so what— even a common man with common sense and decent motives could do a much better job than those hacks in corrupted DC.

Yeah, and "Obama is the smartest guy in the room." Funny how the same rhetoric and talking points comes from both the Demagogic Party shills and some self-described conservatives. Thanks Hojczyk.
