That depends. Do words mean anything, or are they just air compressing and expanding in a discernable pattern?

When did having an education, whether self-educated or in some formal system, become a bad thing, an encumbrance, a hindrance? How did anything you could lump under the heading "here, hold my beer" become a mark of distinction, of elevation, rather than a suggestion that natural selection was sometimes cruel, if effective?
First of all, not that there's a lot of difference between them, I'd suggest that people don't hate Trump, they fear him. And it's not even him, personally. It what he represents, what he cultivates and elevates, what he brings with him.
Also, he's the one leveraging the narrative to a personal campaign against him. Poor me, poor Donald. Because it's useful to him to make it personal. That's unfair, that's unAmerican! Give him a chance! Don't pick on the little guy!
As if someone raised with money, who worships money, has ever been "the little guy". But it works and he knows it.
He's appealing to the mob. That frequently works. For a while.
Many of the great populists have been anything but one of the great unwashed (who've probably always washed as much as anybody).
The whole French Revolution was essentially led by professionals, intellectuals, and people who were at least middle class.
Che Guevara was a physician from the middle class.
Andrew Jackson was an ornery cuss but he was a lawyer, a military officer, and a landowner. At least he really was the first president who didn't come from previously established east coast families and genuinely had to work his own way up. Although doubtless some of that had to do with alienating his own family members.
Ironic bush have a beer is now considered cultural elitist by virtue of criticizing trump
