Sueanna Smith, an instructor at the University of South Carolina, also lamented her daughter voted for Trump and that men don’t respect her PhD in English
“Uneducated” Americans are holding the country “hostage,” according to an English instructor at the University of South Carolina.
“There is a reason why educated people vote blue. What we’re seeing is the uneducated population of America holding the rest of the country hostage,” Sueanna Smith wrote on X last night. “This is why there’s such a push to weaken education, ban books, and outlaw the teaching of Black history by the Republican Party.”
She wrote a handful of other posts after that attempting to clarify her point, though she continued to repeat that she believes Trump supporters are not smart.
“Just to clarify for those who are committed to being personally offended by my previous tweet: having a college degree and being educated are not one and the same,” she wrote. “We all know how easy it is to buy a degree these days. Just ask the graduates of Trump University.”
In another post, she said Trump supporters have “poor literacy skills.”
“I’ve found a common trait among many who voted for Donald Trump: poor literacy skills,” she wrote. “Even some who hold college degrees are struggling to differentiate between ‘educated’ and ‘degree-holder,” she wrote.
That statement might apply to her daughter, who Smith said voted for Trump.
“My daughter was stationed in Texas for a year,” she wrote. “I don’t know what is going on out there, but she left a Bernie supporter and came back MAGA. When I voted blue today, I was happily cancelling out her MAGA vote.”
Earlier posts highlighted her disdain for Trump supporters. In one post, she refers to “racism and sexism” that comes out when they explain why they backed the former (and now future) president.
On Oct. 30, she said she supports Hillary Clinton’s view that Trump supporters (at least half) are a “basket of deplorables,” saying the failed presidential candidate “wasn’t exactly wrong.”
Despite her education levels, including a doctorate in English (which she highlights on X), instructor Smith has had problems with dating, by her own admission.
“I’m not sure why dating has to be so unnecessarily difficult for educated women. It’s like men seek us out just to try to show us that they’re smarter than we are,” the English instructor wrote on Nov. 1. “Somehow they know more than I do about the very field that I literally have a PhD in. Make it make sense.”

Smith further shared her dating insights on Oct. 27, saying that men are fearful of successful women. She said Trump has exploited this fear – “To these men, ‘Making American [sic] Great Again” means restoring their position of power and making women reliant upon them again,” she opined.
Conservatives criticized the English instructor’s original comments about “uneducated” people, suggesting that those viewpoints are why Trump won again.
“The self-awareness of a cinderblock,” Daily Signal reporter and radio commentator Tony Kinnett wrote on X.

“We get it, the Democratic Party is the party of elitism,” National Review writer Caroline Downey replied.
“I have a Ph.D. from Columbia and a, A.B. from Harvard, plus two other Ivy League degrees, and I would be mortified to vote for an ignoramus like Harris,” historian and author Tom Woods wrote. “Being ‘educated’ means you copied down the bullshit they taught you, and never questioned a damn thing.”
“Look at that patronizing arrogance,” Canadian professor and social commentator Gad Saad wrote.
