For me it’s definitely that university education/atheism interface. There is this whole class snobbery and sense of superiority that comes in there. The number of atheists who argue against religion in incredibly dumb ways is astounding, using very shallow learned attitudes that they mistake for being innately more intelligent. I’m an atheist, but I find most of the professional atheists utterly unthinking drones who are also supremely arrogant and intellectually smug. Trump represents a revolt against established authority-but it’s that established authority that tells these people they are better than anyone else. Thus Trump strikes at the roots of their ego, and they despise him for it.

Good and necessary article by the way. The Harris Attitude is despicable and needs challenging both in him and others.

He might harbour great delusions of himself. That it should be him running things, etc. i know a guy who hates Trump. Hates him with a passion. But it is because Trump’s wife is more beautiful than his, Trump is richer, Trump is taller. And Trump is (supposedly) boorish. He should be richer and more powerful than Trump. Not the other way around. A Psych prof I knew hated realtors! Furious about them. Because they made more than him. He is more valuable. He should make more.
