Thread: 'CLASS REBELLION'? CNN's Zakaria 'explains' how Trump won election

By Conor Beck Published August 31, 2017Washington Free Beacon

CNN host Fareed Zakaria explained how President Donald Trump rose to power on "New Day" Monday morning.

"The election of Donald Trump is really a kind of class rebellion against people like us, educated professionals who live in cities, who have cosmopolitan views about things," Zakaria said.

Zakaria also blamed racism and diversity on Trump's rise.

"A real sense of cultural alienation, older, white, noncollege education Americans have, a sense that their country is changing because of immigrants. Because maybe blacks are rising up to a central place in society, because gays being afforded equal rights. Because of, frankly, working women. Everybody is muscling in on the territory that the white working man had," Zakaria said.


CNN's Fareed Zakaria: Trump won because of rebellion from 'the white working man'

"The election of Donald Trump is really a kind of class rebellion against people like us, educated professionals who live in cities, who have cosmopolitan views about things," Zakaria said.

This is not a rebellion against educated professionals who live in cities. For every rural American, there is a close relative somewhere in some big city who is an educated professional that they are proud of. This is about fighting against agendas of some people, educated or not, professional or not, metropolitan or not, who have their heads up their rear-ends selling out our country and citizens under the banners of free trade, open borders and deficit spending. It's not about the people, it's about the policies.

Actually, maybe it was a rebellion against the 'intellectuals', those in the government, academia, and media, who pass as educated intellectuals. Those who have, for years, taken this country in a direction that is not good for the country or it's people, or the world for that matter.

I admire education. I admire knowledge- with or without a degree - ability and honor more. Just because you don't have an alphabet of letters after your name, doesn't mean you are stupid. Although, a lot of those, like this so called journalist, believe that and a lot of people buy into it.

Just watch some Trey Gowdy questioning on Youtube, and see the 'educated' people who work and make decisions in our government. I couldn't believe some of them. Some of of them, I seriously wondered how they function in day to day life. Their vocabulary was just 'seminareze'. It seemed like a real, independent thought never reached their minds.
