  No, that's only half of it. The other half is to smugly remind us how much smarter Democrats are than Republicans. Clinton > Trump Gore > Bush Stevenson > Eisenhower Remarkable how, in this writer's mind, an intellectual noted for "promotion of progressive causes in the Democratic Party" is obviously superior to a five-star general who played a very key part in the Allies defeating Hitler in WWII.

    I'm not sure I'd agree that. I felt it was more revealing about the author & their context than anything else.

  And doing it badly -- all the countries he mentions have derogatory terms analogous to nerd, but he couldn't get to them in Google Translate by searching for "geek", so he came to the conclusion that they don't have anti-intellectual words at all.
