Observation on family, peers, and friends

[Hit-N-Run]

I don't know about anyone else but it's about 99% in my case. There's a clear distinction with almost everyone in my family, in my peer network, and friends . People with higher education are appalled by Trump and people with lower education see him as some sort of hero. It's actually a scary thing to see.

I'm not saying that people with higher education do not support Trump. Just saying in my world that generally not the case.

A lot of people with higher education are leftists and like the new world order. And they like the status quo politician.

People with "higher education" typically aren't street smart, and tend to have tunnel vision, as they've spent the better part of their lives with their head stuck in a book.

People with "lower education" have quite a knack for NOT missing the forest for the trees.

Even the highly educated hard core republicans in my family are voting for Hillary over Trump. People with less education I think vote on one issue, like religion, guns, immigration and that is what is appealing about Trump. He is very good at dominating one or two issues and the less educated people eat it up.

Less educated voter's usually vote republican from my experience and they are voting Trump because they are unable to look passed the one or two issues that he is constantly talking about. They fail to see the big picture regarding how bad he could mess this country up.

If you live in a fantasy camp for four years as a young adult with all of your teachers hypnotizing you with their bullshit propaganda that'll have some statistically significant effect I'd imagine.

Agreed with OP, that seems to be the case.

Strap in, here comes Dunning-Kruger: The Thread.

Aren't American universities indoctrination camps for the left?

I like how these two posts say exactly the opposite thing.

Which is it? Lower education sees the broader picture (forest ), or are they single-minded, one-issue voters?

Oh', another "you're dumb if you like Trump" thread.

*yawn*

Looks like you quoted one post so I'm not sure why you said these two posts. The post clearly says twice that less educated voters see only one or two issues so I'm not sure what you are getting at

Yes educated people in many instances vote Democrat. There is a reason why large cities are almost all liberal cities. It's also not a coincidence that's also where the greatest minds usually are

You live near Chicago right? If so, that's a stronghold for the left. So even your republicans are liberal up there.

Hmm... it's showing me as quoting both yours and Jesus Freaks on my screen.

Anyhoo, you seem to be saying that the less educated are single issue voters, and he's saying that they are able to see the forest for the trees, in contrast to the 'more educated' who have tunnel vision. Your posts seem to be saying the opposite of each other.

There's a lot of educated fools that live in the big liberal cities. There's also a whole lot of corruption in big cities like Chicago also. There are really good people too, so I don't want to knock everyone there.

Every area, urban all the way to rural have their idiots.

I do think that the liberal educated elites lose their morals, conscience and their common sense many times.

I see, I see.

As usual you just generalize an entire city. No rip, they are staunch conservatives with educations that do not like Trump because he unpredictable and they like predictability

I actually could see that.

Random? No, no. That's an undeniably educated liberal right there. Certainly opposed to The Donald (as are, I presume, all equally great, educated minds).

That's Trigglypuff. The face of the modern Liberal movement.
