Non-College Whites Were Not Seduced by Trump

... at least, not away from the Democratic Party.

They had already been defecting to the GOP, and the DNC should have been addressing the desertions before the rise of Trumpery.

It failed to do so, and Trumpery ensued.

​

 

Non-college educated Whites had already been defecting to the GOP, and Democrats let it happen:

 

I believe you are interpreting the data wrong. You are looking at it in terms of education. Education, by itself, is not the reason. The reason is opportunity. In general, if you have a college education in a meaningful profession, your future is fairly secure. If you do not have that education, you are looking for a job in manufacturing or the trades which are more dependent on the economy. Combine that with the liberal leaning of our colleges, and the college educated are brain washed into believing liberalism is the way to go.

 

I don't think anyone needs additional evidence of the liberal/socialist indoctrination that has been taking place on college and university campuses.

 

Academic success has always evoked suspicion, and the acquisition of knowledge resentment, whether it was when the college-educated favored the Republican Party or during their migration away from it that predates the rise of Trumpery.

Paranoidal anti-intellectualism is a constant, but an educated electorate is essential to a successful democracy.

 

Actually, education used to enhance critical thinking skills, and in the case of higher education, cognitive enhancements in objectivity and discretion.

Sadly, as your data proves, this has been worked out of education in favor of ideological grooming.

Evidence of this can be found in the displays of massive immaturity across today colleges and universities, where safe spaces, and violations of Constitutional rights are encouraged.

 

Your bias is noted. It can boast of an enduring heritage.

"Those goldfish-swallowing, ukulele-strumming,
raccoon-coat wearing, smarty pants eggheads
got nuthin' better to do than see how many can
stuff themselves into a phone booth!"

Your post is what happens when pseudo-intellectuals think they are being clever.

 

I don't know about your "pseudo-intellectuals" but it sounds as if your ideological dogma disposes you to disparage higher education, and fantasize about some nefarious academic conspiracy that casts doubt upon such hysterical rallying points as duct-taped women and prayer-rugs everywhere.

 

LOL

More pseudo-intellectual babel. Duct taped women and prayer rugs? What dark corner of your consciousness did you pull that from? I bet you just love to see what kind of words you can put out. You're that type, aren't you?

I fully support higher education for those who will benefit from it. I have an MBA. My wife is a practicing Attorney in California.

With two children who have college degrees, I have first hand knowledge of what Colleges and Universities have become.

You can't escape the evidence of extreme immaturity and liberal indoctrination that is the norm today. Why else the tears, demands for safe spaces, and calls for violating Constitutional rights? You think that reflects a positive environment in higher education?

 

Threads like this are another example of the partys white people hate problem.

When leaders say its their job to tell white people to shut their mouths and they all clap and cheer, it's safe to say they will keep alienating white voters with their racist hatred for them.

will argue that telling white people to shut their mouths isn't racist because some people can't be racist because of their race.... which shows how dumb and totally racist are.

 

I reference hysterical fantasies of Trumpery, of course:

No evidence for Trump's tales of duct-taped women, prayer rugs at border
​

If you are upset by the increasing preference of college-educated Americans for the Democratic Party over the Trumped GOP, that undoubtedly is a symptom of your ideological disposition.

My finding fault with Democrats for allowing less-educated Whites to abandon the Party is not based upon any discriminatory preference. Every Americans has an equal right to vote his perceived interests.

 

It's obvious that non college whites are doing better financially and aren't dependent on government or wanting free stuff.

My observation of white college grads who are Democrats have useless college degrees in the liberal arts , are in debt with college loans and don't work in the private sector but for government while white plumbers and electricians are making more money than they are.

 

When I vote they don't ask me to state my race or ethnicity, trade, profession, education, religion, or anything else. They just hand me a ballot and then I vote. It's really very simple: one person, one vote. The epitome of equality.

 

I really don't know where they come up with these stats who has a college degree and who doesn't and how they voted.

Twenty years ago nobody cared how college grads voted or how high school drop outs voted.

It seems to be the Democrats who say the uneducated vote Republican.

What they are actually doing are dividing society and turning people off.

One of the biggest mistakes Hillary and the Democrats made was calling 1/2 of Trump supporters deplorables. Probably all of Trump supporters believed she was referring to them.

The Democrats, the bias MSM keep attacking Trump supporters instead of attacking Trumps policies that actually seem to be working.

On the right they attacked Hillary not Hillary's supporters.

You see the same thing on the PF attacking Trump supporters.

Having a BA in Hispanic studies doesn't mean you're smarter than the machinist with a high school education who's making $120 K per year. Someone just made a better career choice.

 

Identity politics isn't working anymore.

Democrats lost the vote of hard working Americans of all colors while pandering to gays, transgender or whatever their called this week, and non-American illegal aliens.

The college educated leave Democrats because they tend to earn more and Democrats like to hike their taxes.

 

So explain why violent leftists are so dependent on dumb, poor voters?

 

There is a difference between higher education and higher indoctrination. If you think anything AOC says is either thoughtful, logical, or intelligent, you are a victim of higher indoctrination rather than a beneficiary of higher education.

 

I think it's funny how blame defecting white people from their plantations for this evil called Trumpery and don't realize how racist they are being.

Being white and voting for is like being Jewish and voting for Nazis. The most anti American thing one can do is vote for who want to destroy America and fundamentally transform it into a global socialist police state.

 

Jordon Peterson, a prof has talked about this quite a bit, and really gets down to the bare bones of what is going on in universities in canada and here in america. He has presented plenty of evidence to back up his contentions about the indoctrination going on today and it has gone on for decades. He says it is socialism, social marxism and post modernism, a toxic and brain cell killing brew of this hybrid. As an FDR kinda liberal/progressive, what he says about this issue is self evidently obvious. So not speaking as some conservative although compared to the left today, a FDR liberal or progressive looks conservative. The modern left is a totally different animal and about as reasonable as a hungry lioness killing its prey. If you would have told the older liberals and progressives that one day the lefty democrats were not wanting to protect the speech they did not agree with, they would not have believed you! For it would be Twilight Zone exclamations, and even impossible.

 

If you don't like the caravan of of better-educated Americans fleeing the trumped GOP into the Democratic ranks, so be it.

Your aging, white, blue-collar workers can certainly enthuse over Trumpery if they believe that it is working for them.

 

You seem confused.

Every survey of demographic political alignment shows a wide diversity of Americans voting Democratic, and less-educated, older White males favoring the Party of Trumpery.

 

"We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated".

-D. Trump

 

The only things joining the Democratic party ranks are illegal aliens and socialist.

 

If you actually believe that despite all the contrary confirmations of the demographic reality, you may be delusional, but, hey, if that is what works for you...
