Just read in the latest chapter of White Shift by Kaufman. It's true that more college grads vote Dem. But the breakdown is interesting. More females vote Dem and more males vote GOP. The Dem majority is because there are more females in college than males. However, males dominate the STEM fields requiring higher IQ than the females majoring in stuff like music and social justice Therefore, smarter students vote GOP.

What do they consider educated? If you see how they fix things for certain kids to graduate at the indoctrination centers.... you would not conclude they're more educated.

"Educated" and "smart" are not synonymous.

Reps do better with people who make good money


Dems do better with people who have useless Doctorate degrees that work in HR or the University system

It’s because they’re not actually educated, they’re indoctrinated. I had a discussion about this with my college freshman daughter yesterday. She’s mind blown at how her English class/teacher rails against Trump/republicans. She claims as of now that she doesn’t lean in either direction, but the fact that she can see the blatant push to the left by a university gives me hope.

There is a correlation that men with higher testosterone levels vote Conservative. Beta Males with lower Testosterone vote Liberal. There is also a social economic factor that plays a part in how we vote. Currently the working class votes more Conservative and the college educated vote Democrat. Especially among women.

That tracks. Add in all them mental health and happiness breakdowns by party that I've seen and it paints dems as a pretty pathetic group.

I'm referring to the Dems talking point that goes like this: 'More college educated people voted against Trump. That's because Trump voters are dumb asses.' The study shows that it's not true.

Mainly women.

Feminism is horrible for women. It creates a hivemind. The ones who avoid the hive are pretty damn awesome though.

There is the bigger, more philosophical issue of wisdom not being coextensive with knowledge and technique.

The so-called Enlightenment (and well before that the Sophists and such) jacked up the entire endeavor.

So the dems aren’t the party of the working middle class and republicans aren’t the party of corporate donors?

The more educated you are means you concentrate your knowledge in just a few subject areas. Thus, you know less in subject areas that are not in your core subject of STUDY. Few intellectuals study politics because for most honest Americans politics pays little. The smarter you are the less likely you will study Politics.

There is the rub. With all the intelligent people we have, it is very unlikely they have any political knowledge not retained from their friends or from the talking heads.

It is hard to convince someone who thinks they know everything that they don’t know JACK.

So if you have a PHD in Politics from Ticktock…

If your degree is from the school you have designated as your favorite team, I am sure you can tell everyone here how to smear an absolute beauty of a shite swastika on a wall.

Democrats can’t understand that “more educated voters vote Democrat” does not correlate with the individual voter being smarter or even “the more educated” actually being smarter.
