I think this is a bad take, and it sounds like maybe it is based on online interaction. Have you been talking to people while canvassing or doing some kind of outreach to poor working class neighborhoods? Its usually not hostile at all. Often times it has more to do with your ability to listen to them and phrasing things with more popular language. We also live in a time with the highest number of college graduates ever- but that has almost no baring on whether a person is indoctrinated or not. anti-intellectualism is for sure an issue, but I would argue that is more a product of US advanced education being highly associated with elite status and smugness - the same smugness that the ruling class uses to tell people not to believe their lying eyes is also a signal to people that they are powerless to make decisions or agency because they aren’t qualified to know the ”Truth”
