Katie Couric: Class Resentment, Anti-Intellectualism, and Anti-Elitism Is Driving Anti-Establishment Trump Voters
Real Clear Politics ^ | 04 15 2024 | Ian Schwartz

Katie Couric said resentfulness stemming from globalization is driving the anti-establishment Trump voter to the voting booth in an interview with Bill Maher on his podcast 'Club Random.'

"I think that is a huge problem that we have to address," Couric said. "Globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society. I don't know if you've ever been jealous of what someone else has or resentful. It is such a corroding and bitter, almost vile feeling. I think that when people who are really struggling see people who have everything and are on top of that looking down on them. It is just a recipe for such anger and resentment and grievance."

Yes. How dare the peons resist those smarmy arrogant incompetent elitists? The ones who see citizens as worthless bread eaters. How dare the peons resist!

Couric is obviously projecting how she feels about others.

Lack of class, and resentment, and lack of intellect, and elitism, is driving pro-establishment Katie Couric.

Pretending to know what and how others think is an extremely craggy balancing act, Perks, not for the weak of brainpower.

People are better off relying on what people claim candidly, as you did in your book, where you showed yourself to be weak, scary and off-the-mark.

To: Tell It Right

Precisely. Real Americans do not believe in the Marxist fueled class envy line of bullcrap. What they KNOW is that these techno weenies who produce absolutely nothing of value (really— AI vs actual intelligence, that is piss poor and trying to control everyday people’s lives) have ZERO business telling them, forcing them to subscribe to their globalist corralling of much of the world. An elite, yes but they are not class elite— just think they can say and do anything.

See: Nigle Farage vs. the Socialist Mayor of Brussels— today. threatens owner of the venue with closing them down— how very EU- e of him. Scum socialist/Marxist. Going to get his, for sure, soon.

Does anyone know what she is talking about?
Truthfully Bill Maher comes across majorly dense himself.

So kind of this dumb bitch to share her elitist opinion with us lowly peons.

As I’ve always pointed out my entire life, these arrogant assholes who think they know everything simply despise anyone who does not “think” or “feel” the way these elitists demand.

Remember these points when we need to start society from scratch again someday.

The core of the presumed attitude is the debt.

By election day, it will be $36T. This money flowed to businesses that were focused on Swamp activities.

This “success” by elites would not have happened without the reality that money gets created by the Fed out of nothingness — and then sent to Treasury to disperse.

The elites will be called upon, soon, to generate calories out of dirt at a magnitude that will feed 8 billion people. The elites won’t be elite enough to do that. They will, instead, have that nothingness substance called money created further to try to pay someone to do that work for them.

So don’t confuse yourselves. The Swamp of Elites came from $36Trillion in debt. Not their own merit.

That was the explanation intellectuals gave for Joe McCarthy, Barry Goldwater, and George Wallace. They didn’t want to face the fact that they were in a privileged position themselves and benefited more from the way the country was going than others did — more money for them and what they wanted taken out of taxpayers’ pockets.

But in the post-war years a rising economic tide was making all boats rise. Lately, though, some have been benefitting while others have been losing. Finance and the public sector flourish while real production has dwindled. It’s not about envy. It’s about self-defense. It’s about the arrogance of a governing elite that doesn’t address the real problems of the nation.

I never trusted or liked Perky Katie. Now her fans out there know what she thinks of them.

Does she even have a job? I haven’t seen her since she got fired from CBS for tanking their ratings.

“to your point, Bill, that socioeconomic 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, “
Because Democrats are higher socioeconomically than Republicans? They are in a higher class? Trump voters are anti-intellectual? They can’t be elite? (see Elon Musk).
As Katherine Maher, the head of PBS said, that is “demeaning, hurtful and disrespectful”. Also idiotic and false.
