Question

How do you understand the following quote: We are a movement of plain people, very weak in the manner and culture, intellectual support, and trained leadership. We are demanding, and we expect to win, a return of power into the hands of the everyday, not highly cultured, not overly intellectualized, but entirely unspoiled and not be-Americanized, average citizen of the old stock. Our members and leaders are all of this class - the opposition of the intellectuals and liberals who held the leadership, betrayed Americanism, and from whom we expect to wrest control, is almost automatic.

Answer 1

This is a political quote expressing conflict between the masses.

Step-by-step explanation:

"A movement of plain people" - everyday citizens with something to say, yet we say it in many different ways. We demand a need for leadership and want control, so fighting for what we want is a must no matter how uncivilized the fight may be. This has nothing to do with intelligence because we all want control and think that we know best.
