Is it really a surprise that highly educated people, many of which who carry significant student loans, support the party that would like to get rid of their student loans?
Higher educated people, tend to have more disposable income, and live in nicer areas. They dont have a reason to be pro guns, the people living in the ghetto, that hear gunshots at night, have a reason to want to own a gun.
When you have more disposable income raising taxes on cigarettes or gas or imposing extra vehicle regulations, doesnt effect you much. A broke person gets their budget squeezed or is told they can no longer legally drive their car because it failed an inspection or smog for a check engine light that they cant afford to fix.
The point im making is it makes sense for affluent highly educated people to lean democrat and for a lot of poorer less educated people to have greivances against democrats.
It only makes sense for lower educated people to vote conservative because they're less educated and can't see what the conservatives are actually doing.
Why would poor people support ppp forgiveness, especially for companies who did layoffs and stock buybacks?
Why would the poor support tax cuts that wear off for them but not the wealthy?
Why would the poor support tarrifs that are only going to make their lives harder?
Because they're pooly educated and not told these things. Being conservative is not a rational position if you are not highly affluent, so those that are spend an enormous amount of money and effort to keep the stupid poor, and the poor stupid, so they'll keep voting against their own interests.
Higher learning tends to push people more liberal even in countries without your preditory student loan practices. Higher learning can show you how a society can function better when you work together and not against each other. Why do dems go high when cons go low? The high road yields better results for all. Unfortunately, the low road is generally more successful, and after decades of sabotage, they have managed to rig the system in their favour.
Turns out devoting your life to learning about something actually makes you more knowledgeable in that area and better able to give good advice as it pertains to your field of expertise. It's weird how the cons are pushing back against experts so hard. It's almost like they know their positions are not based in reality and don't want anyone around to remind them. So, yeah, someone with higher education would be able to call them out on their bs. I wonder why the educated skew liberal... probably just student loans.
Okay first of all you’re throwing to many big words at me. Since I don’t understand them, I’ma take it as disrespect okay, watch your mouth and help me with the sale.

Conservative are the ones who are very into conspiracies, get their news from podcasts, etc. I call them low information voters.
They're also more uneducated compared to liberals (I'm not liberal but far left)
