When did anti-intellectualism become a political stance?

Coming soon to a BOLO near you...


And yes, it's obvious Cheeto still runs things on the conservative side of the political aisle.


From CPAC (their list of speakers, and not a Nobel prize winner among them):

Donald Trump

Matt Schlapp

Ben Carson

Kristi Noem

Rick Perry

Autry Pruitt

Scott Walker

Gordon Chang

Maj Toure

Jim McLaughlin

Chad Wolf

David Bernhardt

Candace Owens

Richard Grenell

Donald Trump Jr.

Matthew Whitaker

Robert O'Brien

Sara Carter

Pam Bondi

Bill Lee (the governor of TN, not the pot-smoking former Red Sox pitcher)

Mercedes Schlapp

Ben Ferguson

Stephen Miller

Mike Berry

Jeff Landry

Josh Hammer

Eva Guzman

Dan Patrick

Charlie Gerow

Marsha Blackburn

Bill Hagerty

Rick Scott

Brian Babin

Jim Banks

Andy Biggs (yes, one of Arizona's great shames)

Lauren Boebert

Ken Buck

Ted Budd

Markwayne Mullin

Michael Burgess

Michael Cloud

Mo Brooks

Madison Cawthorn

Doug Collins

Ben Cline

Byron Donalds

Russ Fulchers

Lance Gooden

Yvette Herrell

Jody Hice

Ronny Jackson

Tracey Mann

Devin Nunes

Gary Palmer

Greg Steube

Mark Walker

Roger Williams

Jason Chaffetz

Ken Paxton

Alex Berenson

Dana Loesch

Jack Brewer

James O'Keefe

Glenn Beck

Lawrence Jones

Veronica Birkenstock

Jason Rantz

Kurt Schlichter

Hiroaki Aeba

Jesse Kelly

Brooke Rollins

Tammy Bruce

Todd Starnes

Julio Rosas

Amanda Milius

Terry Schilling

T.W. Shannon

Jenny Beth Martin

Andrew Wheeler


Whew!  The list would have been easier to write, and still be true, if it was summed up as -


Trump

Trump enablers

Trump apologists

Women Trump wants to boink


Also there - Debbie Lesko (another of AZ's great shames) and Jim Lamon (a candidate for US Senate from AZ).  My guess is that some of the "special guest" people on the agenda will include Paul Gosar and/or one of the leaders of the pro-Trump insurrection on January 6th.


And that's the conservative "A" team; 76+ names, cumulative EQ probably somewhere around 140.


The "B" team may have an EQ that goes into negative numbers.
