This explains a lot in my view. The most anti-capitalist groups are highly educated city and suburb dwellers with mounds of debt and cruddy incomes.

They subscribe to the worldview that markets shouldn’t dictate incomes, because markets tend to put lots of value on serving consumer wants rather than “high society” interests such as art, humanities, etc.

An art history phd holder has strong resentment for the Costco ga station supervisor with a million dollars in his 401k.

Highly educated?

Does that include gender studies?

He explains that with the "mediocre-income" part.

They have (shitty) degrees and are pissed/jealous they can only command $50K per year in salary.

Having a college degree and working at Starbucks will do that.

In other words, they are under-performers who want to compensate for their underperformance by parasitization off of over-performers' earnings.

Absolutely. Underachievers. This corresponds exactly with what I’ve observed in my own life. Intelligent people who feel bad about themselves because they never launched-and with resentments and grievances- who want to stick it to people who have fully launched. It’s basic Leftist psychology 101- people who blame their failures and view life with an external locus of control perspective.

The Dems have three category of voters. The first are the ultra, ultra wealthy (other than Elon Musk), who need a permanent underclass so that they can remain at the top of the heap. these are the people who buy politicians on both sides of the aisle, but mainly scumbag Democrats and RINOs.

The second are these “overeducated“ far left whackjobs who are lazy as f*ck and don’t really want to work, but want to rule other people. They think that they are smarter than everyone else but are really complete f*cking morons with absolutely no f*cking common sense. This is the political class and the wannabe political class who think that if socialism ever comes, they’ll be part of the politburo and can rule everyone else while they themselves will never really have to work. They don’t realize that 99% of them will never be part of the ruling elite, but will become part of the plebes and the working class. Most of these people are semi f*cking retarded despite their “over education“. Think SlowF*ckingPinhead.

The third part of the Democrat party, of course, are those who just want all the free f*cking sh!I they can possibly get and will vote for anyone who promises them free sh!I. These are the dregs of society primarily, but not exclusively, dominated by one segment of "cultcha." They have been indoctrinated since birth to believe that they are victims and should never have to work or earn anything in their lives and everything should be given to them because of their victim status.

Highly educated? In what? The Arts (Socialism,Marxism or Wokism)? Just what, exactly, are or Universities teaching? They are teaching that capitalism and the good OL USA is bad and China does it right. I don’t call that education “highly”. Lowly educated is more like it. If you lower education requirements by DEI I guess it would lift dummies up but not to the past “highly”.
Blow up the Universities, get rid of all the tenured Marxists and start OVER before it’s too damn late! Graduates nowadays want to start at the top or else they move in with mommy and daddy, whine and cry, sign up to protest for big pay, and on the govt dole. But that’s just my old vet opinion.

So Sociology grads that drive rusting 25 year old Volvos are the most fervent Democrats. There’s a surprise.

Southern New Hampshire University Masters in Government Administration doesn’t qualify as “highly educated”.

Another big factor is the rise of effective birth control and access to abortions. We have a lot of women out there who would traditionally be raising children and since they now aren't, they pick up pet topics like "global warming" to care for as if they were their children. Making them very easily misled and brainwashed. Far too emotionally driven.
