Not everyone without a formal education is a trumpist..
Yep. I went to work in a shoe factory at 17. No higher education myself but I can still muster an effort to use the correct word.
..looking down on them like that is classist and part of the reason we lost the election
Now, that is a point where I totally DO agree with you, however with the current administration, it seems as if it is actively pushing for the public to turn its back on as much education as it can.. which is a far more evil and pernicious form of classism than calling out grammatical errors.
The poorly educated vote time and again for people like Trump.. Who leverage their poor education and lack of economic competitiveness and use their rage and frustration to cement themselves into power.
The current "blame the immigrants for taking your jobs.." mantra is of course bullshit, most Trumpists aren't going to pick crops in 100 degree heat, lay down roofing shingles in the hot Arizona sun, scrape shit out of bedpans in a nursing home..
Those are the jobs they "lost" to immigrants?
They weren't chosing to do that work in the first place which is why the immigrants came to do it. The racist nature of America's immigration policy guaranteed that undocumented folks would fill that gap.
But back to education and classism..
If the current adminsitration is working with a segment of the billionaire class that has been undermining educational standards and dumbing down the country for decades, (and brother, has it!) it's well past high time to fight back with brilliant arguments delivered in the best language possible.
Again, I haven't been to college, and if the assumption is, because of my language skills, that I have.. well, thank you!
My, that word soup you've got there in response sure is interesting.
