What about all the anti intellectuals that literally make being unintelligent a part of their personality and reject arguments from other people explicitly because thenother people know what they're talking about.
There's a massive gap between "I have a hard time retaining information and struggle with that issue" and "capitalism is the best system because America is number 1 and if you try to tell me otherwise you're a commie and ill fight you"
Anti-intellectual seems just fine for that. Intellectualism is a lot more complex and social than someone’s capacity with a correlated set of skills. So is anti-intellectualism.
