This ... it's about time we ditched the entitlement mentality and got back to hard work. And that goes for all people regardless of political persuasion.

Good point.

Though many Trump supporters are indeed college educated many that are not are still highly trained in their field and even earn more Than A college educated counterparts.

They scream, they shout, they don't listen.

One thing that you and the media should have learned from this election is: Ridicule is not the most potent weapon.

Give me a break... keep fooling yourselves

They cheated in the primaries and got their hand picked candidate to run against and they LOSE.... and they are the educated ones. LOL

And they cant even learn from their mistakes. How well did education serve them if they cannot put these pieces together? Its almost like basic addition and they can't figure it out, even after their colossal failure. What is there to respect about that? Its an embarrassment to educational institutions that they turned out "elites" who cannot grasp basic concepts.

Education isn't a prerequisite for intelligence, either. I'm a two-year business college graduate who voted for Trump, and who lives in a small town/rural setting (because I choose to).

No shhhhhhsh yourself. They may be seeing that liberals such as yourself (and a multitude of your fellow liberals) are still using the racist, sexist, homophobic, illiterate neanderthal cards and have learned exactly nothing from this election. Which makes YOU all sooooper stuuuupid.

I cannot rep you again, so I will do it here. I so agree with this post.

The college degree is over rated. I have 3 degrees, and laugh at the idiot liberals who think having a degree makes them smart. Many of these degrees are in liberal arts, pretty worthless in my opinion. I know an equal number of people who don't have degrees and equal smart or smarter. Most of the small business owners I know don't have degrees, but have good ideas and lots of elbow grease. I voted for Trump, and know 100 people with degrees who voted for Trump...so not sure what the point of this thread.

Will any of you ever get it? Telling people they are stupid doesn't work. And thinking you are intelligent just because you have a degree is quite obtuse.

If you do not like the F word then don't watch this video. But if you are liberal and can get past the cursing you need to watch it.
