And why do the majority of poorly educated whites support Donald Trump?
One would think the liberal main stream media would have a bigger impact on the poorly educated but could the opposite be true?
having gone back to college to complete a degree in psychology, I think I might have at least a little insight in to that. The professors, at least where I have been attending are for the most part liberal. As you can imagine with the classes I take, I have to write papers from time to time that try to explain various mental issues, or reasons for chemical abuse. The theme from many of the professors is that much of the problem comes from the fact that these people are living in less than ideal environments, and of course the topic of institutional and individual racism must play a large role in the progression of their issues.
Most of the professors will mark you down if you don't consider all of the various environmental causes. By the time you are done with a course, it has been taught very well that the racism is perpetrated by mostly whites, and as such conservatives. To sum it up, its being taught to students. Naturally, if this does have something to do with it as I suspect, those that do not subject themselves to higher education are going to be missing out on this indoctrination.
However, if there was some other reason, then it would cause one to question that the very least educated, those that live in complete inner city poverty for example, would not be majority democrat as we know they are.
