College-educated whites are now supporting the Republican Party at the lowest rate in at least 20 years. For much of the past two decades, white, college-educated Americans supported the GOP. But no more. And that is almost exclusively because of Trump.
Conversely, support for the GOP by non-college educated whites has never been higher. And that too is almost exclusively due to Trump.
Non-College Whites Had Affinity for GOP Before Trump
Maybe the tariffs? The huge losses in the stock market? The anti-immigrant talk that is making rich businessmen's shadow workforce unpopular?
I don't know, but if anything it is a socioeconomic shift of supporters--the rich who are invested up to their eyeballs in the global economy may not be overly impressed with some of Trump's decisions. The blue collar workers finally have a spokesman giving all the "elitists" the bird. They like that. They don't think too hard about what he's doing--who on earth understands economics anyway?.
It isn't about how much time someone spent sitting behind a desk reading books.
With the current tariffs how many will lose jobs and how many millions will lose jobs if the moron taxes the next 300 billion at 25% and PLEASE don't buy the BS that the money is going into our treasury Even Kudlow on faux said it wasn't ,,,,, WE will do the paying ,,,just like the idiot screwed folks as a civilian
