The problem isn’t anti intellectualism. That’s what the people who like to think of themselves as intellectuals call it. Their opponents would say the “intellectuals” are pseudo intellectuals saying nonsense that they themselves have not been convinced is true. Of course, the intellectuals say that just means they’re stupid. But often it’s simply a different interpretation of the evidence. Of course, the “intellectuals” only accept one interpretation and disregard the dispute.
For example, are Victor Davis Hansen of Stanford, multi book author Douglas Murray, etc “anti intellectuals”?
