Yet they are totally fine with illegal immigrants that don't even have a high school degree ?
Guess it's just another example of liberal hypocrisy
They have been taught to hate white males unless they toe the liberal mantras. It'a about destroying the American Dream and the American ideal so the globalists can control the world.

We also know they have plenty of uneducateds on the left. So its funny how they try to demean but they also insult the bottom half of their party too. Its just another form of identity politics which the left loves to participate in.
First off, the premise of this thread is a bit silly - let's break this discussion away from "liberals" (or some group in your mind). No one should "look down" on another person. We should all treat each other with respect (we are all after all Americans)
Now I think you're trying to get at something, and I think this has more to do with dismissal of ideas.
For me it has nothing to do with education - as I don't think education is directly linked to intelligence. Some of the brightest people I've known we're either career-educated or just smart people, even though they didn't have the academic credentials.
But I can say that what I have a problem with the recent war on Science (and for that matter...facts) that has come into trend in political discussions. It has made any discussion about certain topics basically impossible to have. If you can't agree on certain basic assumptions/ideas ("up is up"...vs "up is down"), it is impossible to have that discussion. And really, there is no point. If these people are so ingrained in whatever it is they believe, even though there is data and scientific evidence against that idea, there's nothing you can do to convince them otherwise).
I will not support a war on science. Or entertain that kind of discussion (at least beyond the minimal attention it deserves up front).
Skepticism is one thing (and is the hallmark of the Scientific process) - but what I'm talking about goes WAY beyond skepticism and enters an alternate reality. Where people want to believe whatever the hell they want to believe - facts or "experts" be damned (as if having someone be conduct a job that they're an expert and have devoted their career to is some insane premise!).
Let's discuss whatever you want to discuss...but let's stay in reality here.
* Uneducated doesn't mean uninformed or lacking in knowledge.
* A formal education doesn't necessarily mean informed.
* Neither party have a monopoly on either the uneducated, uninformed, educated, nor informed
* People who are informed (not necessarily a formal education) often gain their knowledge through exploration, discovery, and exposure to all sorts of things; culture, people, science, math, history, economics etc.. The beginning of that for many starts in college.
