Let’s see,
I’ve got a 4 yr degree from ND, 8 yrs of post graduate work with two degrees including an actual doctorate and a specialty degree, written national boards,, then 2 more years of specialty certification with written specialty boards, oral specialty board defense. Also, (and this is key compared to any simple PhD ….ongoing recertification year after year and even took the written boards that the new kids coming fresh out of school take at regular intervals as part of maintenance of the level and ensure up to date quality….none of the cushy tenure bullshit here).
There are other conservatives here that I have met first hand who also have a postgraduate education at elite schools as well but I didn’t ask their permission to say more. This can easily be discerned during interactions with them with just the slightest degree of perspicacity.
I have noticed that those who received an education where critical thinking is required tend to see the problems and deceptions of the Left quite easily.
Your post demonstrates precisely why you are losing in the Midwest- the Left perceives them with derision, and they recognize it because they are actually smarter than the Left.
