Education counts

Democrats control 77% of the U.S.'s most highly educated Congressional districts -
105 districts - while Republicans control 66% of districts where the fewest people went to college.

Democrats do better where the populace is educated and degreed. Republicans do better with promises and accusations. This isn’t new or revelatory information, simply a reminder of the crucial importance of using the brain given to us.

Those stats would tell me that the East coast and west coast aka where the best Universities are are where the highest concentrations of Democratic voters are, except for Florida.

Why do you think Been A Dick Donald was notorious for his quote that he blurted out at a Utah rally in 2015..............."I love stupid people".

The GOP knows stupid = gullible...............and educated = those that are curious enough to actually research things that sound like bullshit.

Outside of everything else, the fact that they've been able to demonize education is maybe their most despicable act.

Generations can be tainted when that happens. @Ynotisay

As much as I agree with every word you said, the real problem is that the way the electoral system works, the less educated you are on average, the more your vote is worth. That is both undemocratic and counterintuitive.. (For Trump supporters "The other druther")😷

So, does that mean that degreed people have been brainwashed by liberal college professors?

Graylight · 51-55, F

@fanuc2013. Education and presentation of information with no mandate to live by it is not brainwashing.

@fanuc2013 No............I think it's semantics. "Brainwashed" to a conservative....is someone who thinks like they don't,

In other words someone who is exposed to truth....is educated to facts and rational logical thinking. To prove that point EVERY conservative makes fun of "woke",,,,,,,,,because it is defined as "aware of facts, educated, exposed to reality of the world around us." To a conservative if one is educated......."dat der guy mus be branewarshed buh liburals.".

But if one looks at it from the other viewpoint.......the educated person's viewpoint.....being aware, logical. informed.........and you are a person who is willing to do what students and educated people do.........RESEARCH what you hear before you swallow it hook, line and sinker no matter how fantastic is it just because you saw it in a meme or heard it from a conspiracy theory site..........what is wrong with actually wanting to know what is real and what isn't?

@anythingoes477 And herein we have another example of “there’s a side to every argument.” Except there’s not. This is a false dilemma. Brainwashed is defined. Education is defined. Educational guidelines are defined.

This isn’t a matter of how one sees something. This is using the English language with proficiency and understanding.
