I pay attention to both extremes. There are plenty of wealthy Trump supporters, but it seems the vast majority of Trump supporters are the less educated. Do you disagree? I'm not trying to cause a fight or change anyone's belief system here, but don't you think there is any correlation between the low education level in the south, the fact that the majority of southern states have the highest poverty rates, and are the most republican states?
I suspect Trump has the support of the larger amount of blue-collar workers, so it is safe to assume that means they likely are less likely to be college-educated, although I am not sure what your point is here other than what you already implied, which was that Trump voters are uneducated and therefore easier to manipulate. Which is fine, we all have a right to our personal opinions, but I could just as easily argue that anyone that supports the current disaster that calls itself the Democrat party is also easily manipulated.
There are exceptions of course. I live in Texas, a republican state with a great economy.
Tennessee as well. One of only a handful of states that operate in the black. That is the result of fiscally sound governance. Florida is another example. Here is an interesting fact: Florida has a larger population than New York but its annual budget is about 1/2 of New York's. No surprise that Gov. Cuomo is the leading proponent of the Democrat -controlled House's bailout for the states. Spend and tax your state into the red and then want your state bailed out by the tapayers.
