that's right, but that's because we come from an epoch were blind belief in experts either in neoliberal economics or in social engineering interventions was the norm, the anti-intelectualism is a response to the failure of both those dogmas which are no longer tenable, it's a normal restructuring which any ideology that wants to flourish in the present will have to confront.

the right was able to ideologically confront both, even though once they are elected they double-down on neoliberal economics which will be their downfall when people's lives keep getting worse under their government

the left was more or less able to confront the neoliberal economics (although this is arguable seeing the victory of factions like Hillary > Sanders), but they are still doubling down on the neoliberal social engineering which will not work as long as people feel like they are living meaningless lives, and the new generations see nothing in the older generation to aspire to, that could warrant keeping the same path and trying to imitate your parents or older siblings in their ideological dreams
