I dunno. It really seems like that's only a half truth.
There is some anti intellectualism in the right when it comes to a lot of social issues.
While there is a lot of anti intellectualism in the left when it comes to a lot of economic issues... and ironically in general issues dealing with numbers.
I mean shit, people still try keynsian economics (though granted that's both parties.)
Republican voters do seem to have a problem though with people who don't seem "authentic". Which many intellectuals come off as, unfeeling people incapable of getting the human element. Which erally. Is ironic when you consider things.
Complaining about elitists is kinda silly though when you consider pretty much 90% of politicans had some sort of elitist background.
