Does ythat include the highly educated that are unable to figure out how to obtain a valid, state issued ID?

Highly educated means your first or second degree weren't good enough for a fair to middlen career. Most likely the third degree will also be a swing and a miss. That or perpetual school was better than working.

Getting a degree with little market value does not scream highly educated. It screams highly indoctrinated

Is that all-encompassing because 80% of the 4 year and post grads that I know (mid 50's and up) are conservatives?

I know what you're implying, but in that chart it shows a higher percentage of high earners are liberal than in my experience.

People with hard science degrees trend more conservative in my experience.

A Doctor of English has a 99% chance of being a raging communist.

High earners in a non-urban setting probably trend much more conservative than high earners in an urban setting.

I run among physicists and photonics engineers. My wife rubs elbows with CTO's and corporate VPs, and also presents at women in tech conferences. Very niche groups.

Highly educated? And yet half their base is too incompetent to perform such a basic task like acquiring an ID...

Seems about as easy as it gets…

Likely struggling to get by and want help/believe they deserve more

At no risk of paying for social programs

Think highly enough of their own opinions that they would dictate it on others
