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.

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

@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.
