    Trump overwhelmingly leads rivals in support from less educated Americans
    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politi...ivals-in-support-from-less-educated-americans

    Today, it is the more educated voters who are more likely to favor the Democratic candidate, and the gap between the groups is far wider than it was 20 years ago.

    Unlike the overall educational gap, an educational gap among white voters is not new – whites without a college degree have voted for GOP candidates by larger margins than their counterparts with more education in the last four presidential contests. But the gap this year appears to have grown wider. And if support for Clinton holds steady among white college graduates, 2016 will mark the first time in at least a quarter century that this group has supported a Democratic candidate for president.

    Highly educated more likely than less educated to hold liberal views

    College-educated people of all backgrounds now are more likely to vote D over R. And this effect came in due to Trump, who created a coalition of uneducated and low-information voters.


    Republicans hold wide advantages in party identification among several groups of voters, including white men without a college degree

    Having three Ivy degrees, I never confuse being well educated with intelligent because I met guys with a year or two of college who are absolutely brilliant, and tons of people with degrees from top colleges who re idiots. and those who want to control others, are often well educated.

    what exactly is your point? why does the group with the lowest educational achievements vote for the dems? we know why so many educated women vote dem-its the abortion issue. and the religious right pushes many other well educated atheists, agnostics and Jews into the dem camp.

    used to, but not anymore. The GOP is forgoing the Business groups and going with the working class in a political paradigm shift in politics. Even Veteran groups are starting to question whether to support the GOP without question since the GOP was willing to cut VA services by 22% in their original plan.

    I taught high school for two years and never met a fellow teacher who wasn't angry about their pay. You always heard them whining. The y kept complaining about conservatives that kept saying "you are paid the value of your labor" and the teachers would scream "What's more valuable than teaching?". I never needed to join a union. I always made it on my own. I never needed a mob to support me. I always wondered why anyone couldn't stand on their own two feet? Why would anyone be so weak that they needed a union? I can't imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a person that needed a lot of help getting through life, especially one who says they are so smart they impart knowledge to others.
    If you don't like your job, get another job. If you have the value to GET another job... its quite simple.

    Probably Hispanics since they mostly are day laborers. But white uneducated men are really going away from the Democratic party to the GOP, namely for those "culture wars" that the GOP loves to do.

    Controlling others has to do with narcissism, not whether one is educated or not, intelligent or not. Look at Jim Jones and David Koresh as prime examples of no education but are extremely narcissistic with their charismatic persona. but do not confuse intelligence with wisdom. I think you met people who were wise beyond their years even though they have no formal education, but an informal one.

    democrats love to pretend they are smarter than republicans because that is a necessary argument to justify the desire of the left to control the property and rights of others. when the GOP does it-it is usually from the religious right who try to invoke "God" as supporting their views

    So, how many PTA meetings did you attend? How many of those parents in your classes of students attend those individual conferences? About 10%, 15%, 25%? Or more? Teachers do a lot of things when they teach that go far beyond what is in their classroom. And for the most part, they are paid scaps on a per 183 day work day. Many grade papers at home, prepare lesson plans at home, and spend money out of their own pocket because the school or school district does not have enough funds for even the basic school supplies in primary or secondary education, including the suburbs.

    Democrats just point out the inconvenient Truth when it applies whereas the Right pretty much takes what is on Social Media as pure gospel, especially if it is on Truth Social or Rumble, or wherever. But then again, I am neither a Democrat or Republican, Libertarian or Green. So, you can't play that game with me. As the adage says, there is always a bigger fish. Figure that one out for once.

    You ever read the BECK decision. Unions are not as "democratic" as lefties claim. They also were bastions of racist discrimination.

    I'm not surprised given your erroneous thinking about liberals.

    Maybe I'm not understanding what you are trying to say, but my point was that (regardless of political position) those who concern themselves with what other people make or have IS envy or jealousy.
