That’s demonstrably true - I think there has been more than one study showing the more education you have the more liberal you are likely to be.

Stupid willful ignorance. These people don’t have to worry about other people oppressing them, they oppress themselves.

To be fair, a majority of Republicans probably say almost anything is bad for America except guns, the Bible and cheap lite beer.

I wish I had a video of all the young, hopeful female faces in the line to vote last year and then the young-ish, club-footed hillbilly mechanic in the ā€˜Hillary for Prison’ tee shirt who angrily pushed past us as we were leaving the polling place…the images will always stay in my mind.

Apparently bible college doesn’t count as higher education. Republican followers of Dominionism (the real majority of the Republican base) love bible colleges. Both the Christian Reconstructionists and the followers of the New Apostolic Reformation believe all male children should attend a Christian madrasa.

Gee, this couldn’t lead to any bad outcomes. Just ask all the intellectuals in Maoist China.
