Why the well educated vote Liberal

[toobfreak]

Truth is that this whole thing about the educated voting mostly democratic is FICTION. It stems from liberals thinking that they are by default well-educated just because they're liberal. Same person going to the same college with the same degree but being conservative suddenly becomes a moron. Many of the dumbest people I've ever met were college grads--- --- put another way, EVERY PROBLEM IN THE WORLD you have ever heard of can be traced back to some well-educated liberal college graduate somewhere.

"educated voters tend to vote"

The key word is "tend".
There is not really a huge education divide.
There is only a few percentage points difference, and most of it may just be a matter of voter turn-out.
Younger Voters "tend" to vote left wing because they are naive about the world.
As people mature they become wiser and more conservative.

Older people tend to vote GOP because they harbor racist feelings from the dark era of the 60s and 70s.

bullshit. Older people tend to vote GOP because they have experienced more of life and are very aware of the failures and lies of liberalism.

news flash-----------everything is not about race. But we understand, its all you libs have left.

Older people vote for the racists like thrm because they are simply the racists ones. I' yet to meet a non racist older Republican.

That just means you need to meet more people.

I did...the best majority of conservatives in this very forum are bigots and racists and are proud of it too.

Well if you read the quote he says the way it SHOULD be, not the way it is. In reality, the Majority party controls nearly everything and guides what gets done and what doesn’t, and that my little friend is why party trumps person. Read and learn-
Why Holding the Majority Matters | Center on Representative Government
Then, of course, there are the substantive differences. In the House, for instance, the leadership of the majority party controls the legislative agenda entirely. It decides not only which issues will be taken up, but also how they can be debated, whether amendments will be allowed, and how the matter will be handled on the House floor. If it wished, it could — and on occasion does — prevent the minority party from offering even a single amendment to important bills brought up on the floor during the session.

Are people who support Illegals over their own nations military, children and seniors really "well educated"?

That is probably just your perception since Racist posts have a bigger impact on you psychologically than others.

 

[Dale Smith]

The only guy not of the establishment that is Making America Great Again, and you seem to show your libtard side more and more...

Ok, now I know you are nothing but a Trump zealot. I am embarrassed for you that you tried to pass yourself off as a libertarian.

Someone how has been funding the establishment for 40 years cannot be "not" of the establishment. How ******* naive are you?

The only "lib" thing about me you can point to is that I do not lick the ass of Trump like you do. You are nothing but a ******* partisan hack and I now really do not belive your bullshit stories about your millions. Nobody this stupid would be smart enough to invest their money wisely.

So, what has President Trump done that has put such a bug up your ass?

BTW, if you are going to call someone "stupid"? I "belive" you might want to learn how to spell, dumb ass.

Oh my GOD!!! I had a typo, how will I ever live down the shame? Dumb *****!

As for Trump, here is a good start...

1. The Trump Wall. I oppose the wall as I feel it is not needed and a waste of money that we do not have to be wasting. That does not mean I am for an open border. Border crossing are down 78% according to Trump and that is with little added to the border. Also, if you wish to keep people from coming here illegally, take away their reason to come here. I would punish firms that hire illegals harshly and use that money to pay for more security. I would also pull 50% of the troops we have in Germany out of Germany and station them along the southern border, saves money on both ends. I know that people like to claim that guarding the border is not the job of the military, but that is just bullshit.

2. I oppose more funding for the military at this time. Our military is not underfunded, it is misused and mismanaged. The amount of money unaccounted and wasted for by our military is staggering. And this is coming from a Retired Marine. Get their house in order first, and then see if they really need more money.

3. I oppose sending more troops, or even keeping any troops, in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is and always will be a place that foreign troops go to die without changing a thing. No matter how long we stay, when we leave the outcome will be the same. I also disagreed with wasting 100 million dollars worth of cruise missiles to send a message that is none of our business to send.

4. I oppose his economic isolationist policies. While I think that the TPP was a bad deal, Trump is supposed to be the king of dealmakers. Instead of walking away from it, renegotiate it and make it better. Every time we pull back from such a thing causing a vacuum, it is filled by China. China was already our biggest rival on the planet, and now we are helping to make them even stronger economically. We are going to run into the same problem when he ***** up NAFTA. Already customers for our grains and other agricultural products are starting to look elsewhere as they do not know what to expect from Trump. If you think the housing market crash was bad, what do you think will happen when a large part of our agricultural sector crashes?

5. I disagree with any tax cuts that add to the deficit. If he wishes to cut taxes, cut spending by the same amount. It is pretty much that simple.

6. I disagree with his putting unqualified people into important post based upon their loyalty to him during the election. The most egregious example was him trying to put a radio talk show host with no science background into the post of Chief Scientist of the USDA. That was followed closely by him wanting to put a paranormal blogger on the Fed Court bench. Thank goodness his own Senate was smart enough to squash both of those attempts. And yes, I know every president does it, and I oppose it every time.

I appreciate the well thought out, detailed response and you deserve one in return and it appears that we are not that far apart on some things

#1 I disagree with your contention that we don't need a wall as a deterrent to illegal immigration. If you have no borders, you have no country. I have lived in Texas most of my life and I have seen firsthand what illegal immigration brings. My travels due to work has taken me to 43 of the continental United States. I have also seen first hand as to where this "look the other way" policy that benefits the purveyors of cheap labor while hurting those that are considered the "working poor".

#2. I can't argue with you there since the military budget is bloated to the point of obscenity and they can't account as to how trillions of dollars have vanished like a fart in the wind. The military industrial complex and their sacred child "DARPA" have come up with new and creative ways to kill and they are at least 50 years ahead of us when it comes to the latest, greatest technology. I cede that point to you...


#3 I will concede this point as well. Troops are in Afghanistan to protect the world's largest producer of opium and is sitting on a trillion dollars worth of lithium. How in the **** can ANY leader justify the presence of US troops in Afghanistan 16 plus years later after the false flag event that was 9/11 escapes me.....if the mighty military of USA.INC can't subdue a rag tag army of muslim extremists? How in the **** could they ever protect the borders of this country? No one ever stops to ask the question.......

#4 We will disagree on this one...there hasn't been a "fair trade" agreement that has ever benefited the average "Johnny Lunchpail"......quite the opposite. Under the guise of "environmentalism", decent paying blue collar jobs were outsourced to countries that didn't have the same type of "Green Gestapo" legislation and this was a plan put in place via the formation of the Club Of Rome, an offshoot of the U.N.

#5 Income taxes is a massive scam and always has been. How does this corporate entity that we call "gubermint" justify confiscating a percentage of our labor (that is bartered in exchange for something of value in order to eek out an existence) and how is it any different than the situation of the serfs that had to turn over a portion of their sweat equity to their "lords"? Our "lord" is the 13 shareholders of the privately owned Federal Reserve central bank that extends "credit from an empty account that WE pay interest on as de-facto employees of USA.INC. I am hoping that Trump will tackle that issue soon because the Fed needs a "top to bottom" audit which has never happened since it came into existence.

#6 I will admit that I do not know which unqualified people you are speaking of as it pertains to those that President Trump wanted signed off on that were denied....if you could provide a list of names? I would be indebted to you so I can do a background search on.

Again, I thank you profusely for taking the time to post such an incredibly well written response. Please accept my apology for having misjudged you. We may not agree on everything, but you are no "troll"..........

Thank you for your response, on this board it is easy to assume the worst about others, I do it way too often myself.

I do not disagree with your view that we need to control the borders, just how to go about it.

As for the unqualified people, look up Sam Clovis. He was nominated by Trump to the be the Chief Scientist of the USDA.

The other I mentioned was Brett Talley who was nominated to be a Fed Judge.

Sam Clovis, Georgetown schooled ( a jesuit college) and he worked for Booz Allen Hamilton that is a major player in the operations of the deep state. Good call and I don't know how I missed that.

Brett Talley, I didn't see anything to him that should have disqualified him. He allegedly didn't have trial experience? Judges aka "administrators" are to act as referees and know Black's Law Dictionary. His dislike of Hillary Clinton and his support of the NRA is what I believe did his nomination in. I have no respect for the statutory law system that we are under and there is a reason as to why there is gold fringe on the flag when you step into court.

Thanks for the information....good stuff for sure.

not even close to the truth. but its the only narrative you libs have left since everything else you support has failed miserably, including Obama and Clinton.

Now, you fools have shut down the government to protect those here illegally and at the expense of our military, children, and seniors. You libs are traitors, every one of you.

 

[OnePercenter]

Conservatives: I'm NOT posting this here to deepen our partisan divide, or to be insulting. Lord knows we have enough of that, but rather to give everyone an idea of why well educated voters tend to vote the way they do. Among the reasons well educated voters tend to lean to the left are: Educated professionals tend to be urban dwellers who live close to other like minded voters, more liberal female college graduates, the well educated tend to be exposed to many different kinds of people worldwide, fostering a more tolerant attitude regarding other cultures, races, and faiths, and much more. Lots of interesting reading here.

The reason the alleged "highly educated" lean left is because colleges and universities are OVERRUN by left-leaning professors who only offer ONE perspective on every political issue imaginable.

I know. I have seen it. I have experienced it. I went to arguably the most conservative public university in America, and I STILL experienced it more often than not.

Left-leaning college professors grade based on the political position students assume in essay exams, term papers, or even in class participation.

I have DELIBERATELY taken left-leaning positions on exams or term papers to get better grades, and it ******* worked like a charm. In my lower-classman year, I had not learned this valuable lesson, and I would make the mistake of expressing my hard-core right libertarian views. Once I discovered the formula, anytime an exam even tangentially approached a potential political issue, I wrote like a big-government communist authoritarian. My fake commie writings boosted my GPA to a 3.6 on a 4.0 scale. My grad-school aptitude exam scores were pathetic, so I know for a fact that my fake communist authoritarian writing alone got me into grad school.

Higher education in America (and likely around the world) is complete, unadulterated left-leaning indoctrination in every subject and category save mathematics. If there were a way to infiltrate maths, the leftist higher-education horde would do it.

Young adults tend to adopt the point of view to which they are most exposed. When they are never exposed to politics as children and teens (which is most), and they are only exposed to one point of view in college, they will adopt that perspective.

Thus, more YOUNG educated people lean left. From ages 25 to 40, they will gradually start moving away from leftist authoritarianism, but not necessarily to the right, in my experience.

Really not that surprising.

So you faked your way through college.

Could it be that the young today lean left because conservatism lacks all social conscience.

The young lean left because the idea of free stuff is very appealing to them. That was why Bernie Sanders had very enthusiastic support from young Americans.

The young simply want the same free/more affordable stuff that we baby boomers received such as a college degree, 6 grand vs 50 grand.

What the ****?

We minorities are convinced that the GOP is the party of the racists. Don' you see the number we overwhelmingly vote anti GOP although most of US are conservatives by principle.

So you admit that your lack of any real education affects the way you vote.

two bachelors one in French/Arabic and one in English....fluent in 4 languages, visited over 50 countries. I don't think I have a lack of education, what i have is a problem with you racists ***** of the so called right. We minorities don't vote for your ilk because you guys chose to wage war on us, atlhough most of us are conservatives....keep digging your grave. I arrived to this country and I was one vote now we are 7. Keep on hating on immigrants and minorities, don't stop!!!

IQ Is Content; Education Is Just Wrapping

And yet you don't believe in the Bell Curve. That means you are a B student jealous of A students, deceptively putting them down by uplifting the Ding-Dong inferior races.

Inferior races? Lol...why your pale ass shit is candy?

Thughugger Complex

Degenerate Liberals have a secret desire to be raped by a sweaty savage. Along with that masochistic sickness, they sadistically want to turn him loose on the rest of us.

Why Are Highly Educated Americans Getting More Liberal?

Why the Most Educated Americans Vote Democratic

I will counter that!

Because they went to Leftist colleges, and their profs told them that they now know better.

Let me ask you something------->why did we spill blood and treasure to dismantle Socialism/Marxism, only to have young people embrace it? What happened? Why would anyone embrace a government model that has failed everywhere?

One thing is sure------------> this battle is one that some side is going to lose, and set the course of the country for a long time coming. . That should get us through 18 and 20, and the census will do the rest as it takes electoral votes from blue states that everyone is fleeing from like the plague-)

Ivory Tower of Babel

Spoiled and conceited youth seek power; academic Leftism offers them a chance to join a clique that dictates to the majority and crushes all opposition.

Yep, they also feed their ego assuring them that they are indeed the "best and the brightest". Just look at Jillian, g, Jake, and the rest. They constantly tell themselves how much better they are than anyone else, most especially the "Neanderthals".

Brownnoses and Bluebloods, Not Brains

Graduates are dumb in school, too; their 6th Graders' grammar proves that. Until students aren't paid, college "education" will only attract no-talent class-climbers and spoiled-putrid Preppies.

'Why the well educated vote Liberal'

Are the 'well educated' going to vote for the Party that just sides with Illegals over American citizens, shutting down the govt to side with illegals, during the mid-terms?




If they do, they can't be THAT 'well educated'.
