The Best and the Brightest sent the dumbasses to die in Viet Nam
And today's "educated" class feels even more entitled to peddle their woke shit to the whole country than ever before.
Just because someone can score decently on an SAT and then put in four years of loafing through classes that teach them nothing does not mean they have any practical intelligence whatsoever.

This is elitist propaganda received most willingly by the unworthy.
BaronVonZemo 64245 postsLet’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.

Here are a couple of fun facts fun facts to consider.
Higher education has its issues. For example:
Tulane applications:
2020-2021: 43,892 applications
2021-2022: 45,525 applications
2022-2023: 31,615 applications
2023-2024: 27,936 applications
USNWR University Rankings:
Tulane plummeted from 44 to 73 since last year -

Re: Next time you need a plumber or an electrician call him a dumbass.
Agree. I would love to be a fly on the wall, if this elitist jerk hired an electrician by chance being aware of his uneducated white men comment.

It is easily explained by anyone w children going to college recently. It’s called indoctrination…
BaronVonZemo 64245 posts….not education.
The stories are many fold. It also has early roots in the public school system and TV/movie culture.

If i were about to vote for the candidate favored by the stupid people of the nation, I would re-examine my choices.
But that’s only what smart people do.

You raided his house and arrested him on false charges, you suppressed fee speech, you have
BaronVonZemo 64245 postscentralized govt, you have antisemitism, antiCatholicism, and antiCristianity running through the veins of your party.
You have every element of fascism and yet you foist the label upon others.
You are being fomented, and you look well beyond yourself. Trump is no threat…the Left is.
Your angry post suggests that you are starting to see that those polls I have been telling you about are real.

Just as with any other DOJ case...DJT was afforded "Due Process"...a Grand Jury of citizens approved
the indictment as well as a Judge...and after many months of delay and obstruction, the raid on his home justified the claim that he illegally held onto and hid some of the nation's most sensitive and secret documents.
DJT is a convicted Felon, a Proven Rapist, a Fraud and Insurrectionist...and for some unknown reason admired by Baron.

I'd say the people who rack up hundreds of thousands in loans for unemployable degrees are the true
dumbasses. And I'd wager that most of them vote Democrat. "Oh, whoa is me, I spent $180K on a gender studies degree and work as a barista.". Dumbass.

Indeed. Many of those degrees are more indoctrination than education.

I think you'll enjoy this recent anecdote...
One of the local watering holes I frequent is near a local liberal arts college. The two bartenders in this story have graduated and are both around 24-25, living with their parents and still trying to figure their life out. Anyways, one of them discovers a book in a common cubby hole behind the bar. They start thumbing through it, reading a bit thumbing some more and then the other bartender comes over, and asks:
"What are you reading?
"I don't know, I just found it here, it's really interesting though" (shows the cover) "Ever heard of it?"
"No, what's it about?"
"I don't know, it's either religion or philosophy, I can't put it down"
They turn to me and ask if I had heard of it, it was George Orwell's 1984!-

There's also this gal who graduated from U of Iowa in psych...
She had never heard of Freud or Jung. Me: "So what exactly did you study?". Her: "I don't know, it was mostly about feelings and stuff. I really didn't learn that much."

Top 4 Degrees conferred in 2023...1) Business (387,851)...avg. Salary ($65K)...2) Health Svcs
(257,282)...avg. Salary ($63K)...3) Social Sciences (incl. Economics...161,164)...avg. Salary ($64K)...4) Engineering (128,362)...avg. Salary ($93K)...
That's who's getting college educations...and as virtually every physician knows Doctors come from many different undergraduate college majors...some even tend bar to help them keep their mountains of debt manageable.
Don't be so lazy...keep learning.

Sonographer $81K, Air Traffic Controller $88K, Web Developer $93K...
Am I supposed to be impressed with going $200K into debt to make $63K?
-
Level 8
Whoa...pump the brakes...the avg debt for a college student is $30K-$40K, and ~$100K for a graduate
degree...and those salaries mentioned are "beginning" compensation...plus, big money incomes later in their careers won't come w/o that initial degree...so the ROI on those educations can become very large.
Think.....then post.

If you were smart enough, you'd have looked for data on which degrees were most sought...
but apparently, you're not, so I did it for you...and the top ones lead to very employable degrees.
You are your own worst enemy.

Level 3
No, I didn't look that up because it's irrelevant to my point.
Chris is making the statement that "unedecated" people are dumbasses, which is fairly dumb. There are myriad reasons people don't pursue higher levels of education, many of them are financial. But my main point is that there is no bigger dumbass than the person who goes into massive debt for a worthless degree and no plan to pay it off. And these dumbasses are nearly 100% likely to vote democrat.
BTW, why do you think your party is losing middle and lower class men of all races at an astounding rate? Because they are dumbasses? Or perhaps you're the dumbasses.

Your post denigrated people trying to improve their lives and livelihoods through higher education..
implying that those "Thousands" were all wasting their money on worthless degrees...my post shows how wrong you are...and how lazy you are in not expending the effort to discern the truth before posting. Learn from your mistake.

We're talking about YOU...and your flippant denigration of people actually trying to improve their
lives and livelihoods...looks as though you refuse to learn and accept your mistake, while at the same time encouraging MAGAs to not advance themselves in a world demanding more and more intellectual acuity.
btw, the percentage of Americans with College Degrees has increased from 38.1% (2009), to 54% in 2021, according to one study...and as I've shown the vast majority are in well compensated fields....one other thing...a majority of those with college degrees tend to vote Democrat.

Spoken like a true elitist prick. Dumb poor people have been decimated by the economy over the last
four years due to Biden and his minion idiot. Dumb is voting for the same policies. Sit in your ivory tower and look down your nose at them. For someone who claims to be so smart, you're not very bright.

You of all people should know that when people are fucked in their current situation they are apt to
take the risk of burning it all down. Because it can't get worse, right? So, yes, people choose dictators when society's status quo lets them down. Fucking dumbasses, right?
Oh and I say "you of all people" because I assume you've read books on the topic, apologies if incorrect on that assumption.
