Of course he did. Hes positioning the “intellectuals” as being wrong thinkers. But more than that, its about positioning himself as one of the simple folk, who detest the elite consensus that regularly puts down anyone who doesnt agree with them or even just asks questions. You know, the types who say “Its not my job to educate you!”? Basically, they created this idea that they better than others because they “get it” and others dont. And any time they get asked to explain it, “Its not my job to educate you”.
Basically, hes talking about all the dickheads on reddit who only want to put people down instead of trying to reach them with words and facts. And his base eat that shit up. Honestly, the worst thing social media users started doing was stop explaining themselves with words, facts and sources. The “Im just right, and youre just wrong” paved the way for Trump to use being intelligent as an insult.
I dont know about that. There is also the fact that the online world is not the real world. So we’ve got that going for us.
The only issue, for not at least, is that the online world and the real world kind of colluded to get Trump elected. Online, you had all the culture war shit that Trump et all used to garner support. While in the real world, the actual corruption of political figures convinced millions to not bother going to vote.
The solution seems to be simple one. Stop voting for party, start voting for people. This is the only way that the US voter can take back the country. IMO, anyway. An important fact is that in 2016, conservatives were on record saying they would vote for Bernie. Not the MAGA lot, obviously. But the normal conservatives who arent balls deep in crazy. In 2016, America as a whole was screaming out for change. Had the DNC not fucked over Bernie, we likely would never have seen what a Trump world looks like. AND, everyone would have a national health service by now. Even then Trump positioned himself as a Bernie type figure. Someone who was going to “drain the swamp”. Thats why he won. Its just a shame that he was a liar, and a member of the very swamp he said he was going to drain.
Maybe he meant it differently? I cannot imagine the Trump self awareness thing. Maybe he lost more of his filter than before due to age?

You just convinced me that we’re screwed… 😞
If you want to ruin your day more read up on the nazis and fascists and their anti intellectualism.
