I think the vast majority of republicans are overly religious and under educated. The handful of GOP brethren that I do interact with capped their educations at the high school or really crappy directional college level. There is an intellect difference between the parties that is obvious.

Having a degree doesn't confer common sense nor does it automatically create a strong work ethic.

I guess it starts at the top.

Trump's grammar in speeches 'just below 6th grade level,' study finds

And don't forget that Trump acquired much of his education in the good old days before liberals took over the educational system.

I totally agree. But I am starting to have respect for some Repubs since they have finally grown a backbone to push back the bullying Dems and opposition media. Exposing the corruption of the Deep State is quite an accomplishment, too, in complicit DC

So what you saying religious people are stupid for supporting Trump which is a falsehood because 80% of the US population has some level of religious belief including liberals.

Second under educated? Wow...since the majority of American work at jobs that don't require a level of education above high school and in fact do quite well...thank you...
I find a vast majority of college grads who were taught by liberal professors are rather street stupid as witnessed by the screaming mob at the Kavanaugh conformation and the anarchic burning and beating people up that don't agree with their anti-American views.
All the above is rather obvious to the majority of Americans.

I enjoy posts where users seem to think "college" equals "intelligent". I've read more books and acquired more knowledge over the course of my life than most college graduates you will ever meet. In college, I was only taught "specific" knowledge based on my chosen field of study. This means college graduates are educated, but only when it comes to their chosen field of study. Reading and studying on your own, after college, is the key to real knowledge. My mother-in-law, who has been gone for 6 years now, was one of the smartest people I have ever met in my life. The sheer amount of knowledge she possessed on so many subjects was astounding. She had a two year degree in Substance Abuse Counseling. That was the extent of her "college" education. So please, understand, college is not the only road to education and intelligence.

PS. Just as a side note, I thought I'd add that I have worked the elections for the last 6 years. The only voters who come in holding "sample ballots" which have already been filled in to show who the voter should cast their votes for are Democrats. Republicans usually at least know who they are voting for and why before they show up. Democrats, not so much.

I put 'other' because it depends on where they fall on their political spectrum. Moderate Republicans, for example, I may have disagreements with, but it's also possible I have common ground with them. The further right they go, the more leery I am of what they *really* stand for. And Trumpism is so far extreme right that I just can't even.

You say this like it's a bad thing. To me it is an indication that they have done their homework and made up their minds after studying the issues and candidates, and brought the completed sample ballot to save time.

That's what I do.
