Would you blurt out in a grocery line that those without college degrees are more gullible? No, you wouldn't. Because it is divisive, wrong, and insulting. A person with a degree in communications, biology, etc isn't any better than a shop owner or an auto worker or a farmer at recognizing misleading political ads.

Are you even remotely interested in hearing out why a person may vote republican?
Absolutely. All I've seen is what Fox News tells them though. I do the same thing for Democrats and CNN. Regurgitation of the "news" is not an original thought.
Most of these threads on this board are started the moment Fox News mentions them on TV. This is not a political board, it's a Trump board. The moment someone says something that you guys don't like, you attack them. It's clear and obvious. Hell, I'm a moderate and I just bring up a few counter arguments.
In my opinion, yes, Republicans are MORE (keyword "MORE") gullible than Democrats. There are many Democrats that are gullible and strictly vote for the party because they want handouts. That's not the point. The point I'm making is statistically, more educated individuals vote Democrat. Why is up for debate, but it's proven.
I'm scared as shite that if Biden wins, the stock market is going to make a knee jerk reaction and people will sell. This is entirely irrational and the economy will wind up being fine no matter who wins. The reaction is another thing. However, Trump just has way too negatives for me. That's my stance.

quote:I disagree here. You are using having a college degree as being "educated", but I think this simplifies matters too much. The idea that a blond bimbo who has a communications degree from arizona state is more "educated" than someone who has owned a business for decades is debatable imo. A person with a college degree is obviously more educated in the field they got a degree in than someone who doesn't have a degree in that field, but I don't think having a degree categorically makes you smarter than someone who doesn't.

What does a person with a chemistry degree know about economics, gun laws, abortion, foreign policy, immigration, etc that a person without a degree does not know?
Not to mention the democratic party's main base, black voters, have the lowest rate of college education of any group in america. That doesn't mean they are less worthy or less educated about issues that matter.

Even in this less technical setting, I want to believe that you're fundamentally opposed to anonymous allegations/accusations that aren't accompanied by the ability to explore the accuser's credibility and reliability, eh Judge? I've seen a single response solicited from an accuser that made the prosecutor immediately move to dismiss the case....pretty consequential stuff there, to test the accuser's truthfulness.

Not saying an education > small business owner. Just a simple fact that “educated” individuals do vote Democrat. It’s fact. I’m not calling a small business owner a dumbass. It’s a simple fact point. Of course no degree is held equal. An early education degree does not equate to a microbiology degree. Cool. But the likelihood that those individuals will vote Democrat is fact. Many very smart individuals dropped out and made their own business instead. Does that matter for the sake of this discussion? No.
Do you think a small business owner without a business degree will succeed more than a small business owner it without a business degree? I would argue the individual has a more likelihood to succeed since they already understand many of the business principles. Can a small business owner without a degree not figure those out first hand? Sure, but there will be growing pains. This is a little bit of a tangent, but sounds like you’re diminishing degrees as a whole.

Very few people remember what they learned in general education classes their freshmen and sophomore years. I don't.

I suppose you have some explanation as to why the anonymous source misrepresented the reason for the cancellation of the trip to the cemetery, which was related in Bolton’s book, and independently verified by contemporaneous emails?

I don’t know if Trump said it or not. And it won’t make much difference to nearly anyone here if he did or didn’t.

“In my opinion, yes, Republicans are MORE (keyword "MORE") gullible than Democrats.“
And like with all your opinions, facts prove the antithesis is true.

FWIW, I don’t put any credence whatsoever to the story in OP. Anyone can make up a story to push an agenda.
Difference is, you won’t see his anecdote held up as gospel truth in a political advertisement, and shared by millions of gullible fools on social media simply because it confirms their biases.
You seem to find it fairly credible. Without evidence, as they say.
