A college education is still the leading indicator of a persons earning potential and that includes those who choose to be self employed.
That's because you're including sandwich artists at Subway and the like in the ranks of people who don't have a college degree. Many people would be much better off financially learning a good trade or "getting on" with some municipal department, as we used to say in my old blue-collar city neighborhood.
The low educated are easily swayed to vote against their own self interest.
However, you did correctly identify the highly educated states as being Democratic. Congrats!
The highly brainwashed (educated) are swayed to vote as their programming mandates, regardless of wheter its in their own best interest, or not. The gov't programmed collective supercedes the individual.
They have been so sucessfully brainwashed (i.e.educated), they cannot even see it...they are mindless drones.
Apparently, right before the election the OP has decided it's a smart move to remind people of the message that blue collar voters are stupid losers and racists for being upset over their jobs going overseas and domestic worker salaries being undercut by illegal labor.
Facts are painful to those who don't want to know the truth.
There are plenty of people who are educated and hold advanced degrees. Yet when it comes to voting, they are low information voters.
One would think that highly educated people would take the time to read more than one news source. The ones I've met just stick to one news source and often don't know the full story.
Being highly educated has nothing to do with having common sense. In many cases, they are mutually exclusive.
I've known people who aren't well educated but better informed as to what's going on than many educated people.
They know how to hunt and fish for when the most educated amongst us run civilization into the ground, and the grocery stores get overrun by the starving hoards.
If these well educated states are so smart, why are they so eager to become Marxist and why are they so bad with money?? The following article was pre-covid so covid is no excuse...

A new report shows that the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) received less than one percent on its investment, putting the country’s biggest pension fund at a stunning $100 billion shortfall.
Not surprisingly, California is ranked among the top nine in the states with the worst fiscal condition by the Mercatus Center, as of June 1. Here are each of the states that made the top nine in their rankings:

1. Connecticut:
$20.88 billion in total debt.
$102.84 billion in unfunded liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$505 in deficit per capita.
2. Massachusetts:
$26.73 billion in total debt.
$190.83 billion in in unfunded liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$342 in deficit per capita.
3. New Jersey:
$41.84 billion in total debt.
$255.2 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$396 in deficit per capita.
4. Illinois:
$35.5 billion in total debt.
$332.54 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$40 in deficit per capita.
5. Kentucky:
$8.23 billion in total debt.
$82.68 billion in unfunded liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$100 in deficit per capita.
6. Hawaii:
$7.78 billion in total debt.
$39.92 billion in unfunded liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$83 in deficit per capita.
7. California:
$118.7 billion in total debt.
$785.72 billion in unfunded liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$250 in surplus per capita.
8. Maine:
$1.2 billion in total debt.
$15.2 billion in unfunded liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$20 in deficit per capita.
9. New York:
$58.32 billion in total debt.
$349.81 billion in unfunded liabilities and other retirement benefits.
$125 in surplus per capita.
The key takeaway from the Mercatus Center’s list is that the vast majority of the states in poor fiscal health are blue states, demonstrating yet again how lavish government spending is unsustainable and economically unviable in the long run. The dismal return on CalPERS’s investments are particularly reflective of that common sense economic reality.
Worst thread you've ever started, and that's saying something. It just shows you are filled with hate for the right. You can't hide it, can you?
I hate to block people but you're just too irritating.....
I guess you realized that the right leaning states are the least educated. Sorry that you were blindsided by this revelation. Take care.
