Why Are the Highly Educated So Liberal?

Absolutely. Where I grew up democrats were associated with crime and nothing else really. It was either: law abiding = republican, criminal = democrat. That simple.

It seems that way to you, to me it seems the complete opposite.

That's me. I'm a liberal, yet refuse to vote dem. No doubt I'm a complete outlier that made up my mind Nov. 2018 to vote for Trump.

Three people who are the top forum liars and idiots? Sure, Jethro. Three of my stalkers, most probably. All fucking idiots.

Those people don’t know shit about me, cockbite. Nor anything about my careers other than what I’ve provided.

Once again, dumbfuck. You pukes prove you don’t know shit from shinola.

Well, what about White vs White?

White Democrats in Massachusetts have much lower murder rates than White Republicans in Mississippi.

I am not here to convince a lying, dishonest, mentally retarded leftist like you to vote for anyone. I don't care. You can't post without lying.

Trump is going to win re-election. I have a bet thread that not one of you lying phony asshats on the left have the balls to take because you know that you are full of shit.

So go cry like a little cunt to someone who cares. If you're not going to stand behind your bullshit claims, I'm done with you.

I am not asking to be convinced, I just would like to hears some reasons why the worst, most corrupt and dishonest president in American history should be reelected

What was generally the races of these people?

Why does this make any difference to you? Districts that had the most violent crime in the area I grew up in voted dim. Period. Districts that had the lowest crime voted republican. Not sure what the point of your question is.

Simple; because Trump is not the most corrupt, dishonest President in American history. But Obama could have a run for it.

The best reason is that he is not a geriatric lying corrupt dementia laden buffoon like Joe. Anymore asinine questions that are self evident. #fuckoff

Race plays a role in crime. Were the white Democrats more likely to be criminals than the white Republicans? Or are we comparing people of different races?

On my side either yes or apolitical. On Mr. Owl's side all are mildly to vehemently conservative except for him. He's also the only one who moved to and lived in a larger city (St. Louis) for most of his adult life. He worked in IT with other ppl with advanced degrees in the STEM realm. Of the ppl whose political POV he had knowledge of, they were evenly split between left and right.

I suspect that political POV is more dependent on upbringing, location, and personal reasons than it is what degree the individual has. Overall though it seems that the more education beyond h.s. an individual has the less conservative they are. Maybe it's exposure to ppl from other areas and even countries while they are in college?

I was asking because it might be that the person's political views were established by the time they reached college and just continue that same orientation throughout the lives.

There have been studies going back generations that have established college has a liberalizing effect on students. To some extent liberals are more likely to attend college. But they also do studies as freshmen and as seniors and find students became more liberal during that period as opposed to people the same age who did not attend college and whose views did not change.

They do not necessarily become a liberal as much as more liberal in their views. Perhaps going to heaven is not determined by whether you were baptized by being dunked under the water versus having water sprinkled on you (an argument I heard once).
