For the reason you gave “uneducated people are easily influenced and swallow”

The lower your education level the more likely you are to vote for a populist. It might be correlation not causation but them the facts and you know it, you just don’t like it. I can understand why it would make you uncomfortable though.

Obviously wouldn’t want to cloud your thinking but as a parent I’m starting to live in dread. My fears are disruption due to climate change and European security. Both likely to be made worse by Trump.

She was but putting that aside most haven’t sneered just pointed out Trump will likely be the worse option for poorer people. It’s not sneering to point that out the policy documents all suggest tax breaks will go to businesses. Most of us making this point are also working class. Why don’t we...

I’m not sure there’s any surprise the polls were pretty much bang on. As I said yesterday they had Trump to take the swing states and he has.

So posters on here calling the US backwards today caused people to vote for Trump yesterday?

Yes but overall there is still a correlation between level of education and vote.

Exit polls suggesting it was view on the economy that drive the result and not elites talking down to people. Dems been blamed for global inflation post Covid.

So is Trump. I would accept this explanation even if I didn’t feel the same way if it was logically coherent but it isn’t.

The other thing to consider is republicans so keep damaging education so the implication is they agree.

But again it doesn’t make sense. She’s responding to something that has happened but apparently that’s to blame?

Who is sneering at the electorate??

What do you mean?

Always try and remember this but hard to do. It’s like saying “don’t worry”.

My own experiences are similar although more through colleagues and family rather than friends. I find it fascinating hence raising questions here so it’s somewhat demeaning to be labelled and some kind of eltist labelling everyone stupid when I’ve done nothing of the sort. My experience is you...

Blaming? All I’ve said is the main correlation is lack of education because you had an issue with that being mentioned on twitter by someone. I don’t really get the one of the lads comments. Better to have your own opinions than follow the herd.

Sorry could you give an example?

I took German, I was the lowest ranked student actually but then pulled my finger out in the last several weeks and got a C.
