Well-educated folks have at least a cursory understanding of logical reasoning. They avoid deductive fallacies. By that measure, this guy can't be very well educated.
(False) Statement: All Trump supporters are ignorant losers.
(True) Observation: Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are Trump supporters.
(False) Conclusion: Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are ignorant losers.
Start with a false premise, end up with a false conclusion. Classic deductive fallacy.
But I won't waste my time urging TDS-afflicted folks to try to be more logical. They are inexorably drawn to snarky and emotional trump-hating rants in the same way a newborn is drawn to breast milk.
It doesn't matter how many times you point out to these folks that
insulting voters is an extremely counter-productive campaign strategy. They can't stop it. They would rather lose elections than refrain from illogical insults.
