Trump supporters tend to see college as Kryptanite.

Yes. Of course.

This explains why millions of college graduates minted over the last eight years are working as baristas, call center drones, and "assistant managers" at Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

I know whenever I want solid intellectual input on political issues, I always check with the assistant manager at the local Burger King, who holds a BA in Hispanic LBGT Studies from the University of P. O. Box 2000 in Schenectady, NY. (Insert ROFL emoji here.)






















(Don't laugh...that serious course of study cost that young lady $108,000 in student loans, which she will finish paying off about the time she's ready to apply for Social Security. You know she's gotta be a real intellectual heavyweight!)

Makes sense.

Behind Trump's victory: Divisions by race, gender and education | Pew Research Center

In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980. For example, in 2012, there was hardly any difference between the two groups: College graduates backed Obama over Romney by 50%-48%, and those without a college degree also supported Obama 51%-47%.

I'm college educated with a cushy white collar job, many, many career related certifications and a property management business. I voted for Trump.

So there....

Not everyone can afford a college education, so we're here to judge who is qualified to be a voter?

Trump won more richer neighborhoods than Hillary did, yes that is a fact. If you look at the district voting maps of every state. The poor areas all voted blue while wealthier ones voted Trump.
