No educated person voted for a man who got on a debate stage and said “They are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats” No educated person voted for a man with strong ties to a man who had his own pedophile island. Trump supporters aren’t educated

When i was your age i was taught that Republicans were *more* educated because they were more affluent and more likely to go to college. So look i realize he leads an army of resentful working class whites but he also received plenty of votes from the educated

Plenty of unintelligent people have college degrees and plenty of intelligent people don’t have college degrees. Having a degree doesn’t automatically make you smart especially depending on what your degree is in.

it’s true you can’t really quantify intelligence from a college degree, but you can at least measure experience. having a college degree is consistently used as a legitimate measure of level of education in spite of academic performance or field of study. moreover, you don’t have to specifically study political science to understand how policies will affect you and your community.

I didn't even say intelligent. I addressed the claim of educated. College is literally education

#2 was replying to me but you’re right that neither of us mentioned intelligence, just lack of education.

essentially what i’m saying is that individuals who do have a college education are more likely to have the resources to build cognitive skills like improved critical thinking and reasoning than individuals without a college degree, who more often than not don’t have those resources readily at their disposal. whether or not a college educated individual chooses to engage with those resources is on them, but i can’t say that a majority of students gain little to no improvement
