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.

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.

2022-2023: 31,615 applications

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!

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.

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.
