Democrats don't understand what it means to be educated

What many independents and republican college educated people have learned is that the democrats who think they are so intellectually superior because they went to college is the biggest absurdity going on at the moment. You are all just embarrassing yourselves.

Um, no.

The "Democrats" feel superior because they don't deny science and don't enthusiastically embrace conspiracy theories like Qanon as something that is real. They don't spend eight years believing that a President has no birth certificate. They can look at child obesity rates in America and refrain from rushing to promote more pizza. They can look at a foreign policy issue and ask for more evidence without launching head first into "finding WMD in Iraq." And they can look at Trump's plot to steal the 2020 election and call it actual election fraud.

I find it very telling, and highly ironic, that right-wingers default to the false idea that it is a sheet of paper that make Democrats feel superior to this crap. The fact that you don't feel superior to the crap that the Republican Party has been peddling for two decades now should be a personal eye opener.

I just read that you studied engineering in the 1980s. And now you embrace a Party that went from supporting the Global Warming issue in the 1980s, to outright denying its existence in the 1990s, to arguing now that its not man-made. Weird to think on how Democrats and Republicans once joined together to combat the man-made hole in the Ozone Layer in the 1980s. So...is this a sign of a lack of education or just partisan treachery to create differences on false platforms? By the way, this is the same attitude that had right-wingers shoving health officials and medical professionals to the side during a global pandemic.

Here:

- 54% of adults have a literacy below 6th grade level.

Smart America has become the minority. And it was the Republican Party and its FOX News media arm that did this.

They talk a lot of shit but when they get seriously ill they go to doctors with degrees. Unless they go to witch doctors and I wouldn't put it past them.
Many with that thought Covid was a hoax were the first to get wheeled into hospital hoping someone could help cure their hoax.
 
The more I see threads like this, the more I am convinced that these things are a bit of self therapy for those did not achieve some status and the more I wonder if some people are just seething because they are not accepted into some social circle they want to be in.

There definitely seems to be a pattern of:
1. Declaring some achievement is not actually all that special
2. Another statement stating for some reason that those who did not achieve something are the special people after all
3. A declaration that the people who did not attain some sort of achievement are the masses or majority so they should be listened to based on the numbers
4. A claim that it is due to cultural drift and that is a mistake committed by those who achieved whatever and an insistence that the baseline is with the people per point 3.
5. Some sort of attempt to belittle those due to the self convincing per points 1 - 4. Perhaps to feel status in an alternative way.

Its pretty obvious that these threads are just an assertion of self importance and an insistence that the status they were able to achieve is the best one after all, so that feelings and ego can be preserved. Also it is noted that these threads tend to communicate using an emotional writing style during their initial phases. However, they sometimes veer into data if someone is able to come up with some stat somewhere (Then the focus is on that one stat and trying to ignore other or contrary data, which tends to be readily available). Much of the time though, any evidence is strictly anecdotal by those who insist on points 1 - 5.

Being educated means having a degree in gender studies, being unemployed, and having $200,000 in student loan debt. On the other hand, a plumber making $100,000/yr with no debt and no college degree = dumb uneducated MAGAT oaf.
Yes the libruls are quite confused in that regard. The reality is that any voter who attended K-though 12 and graduated is educated, otherwise what's the point? An extended education is excellent if it's in a field that's leads to a productive career, however I know have known a few with BA degrees that ended up onloading bananas at the state docks.

If democrats are so intellectually superior, why couldn't they figure out a way to beat a bunch of knuckledraggers in an election?
Because theyre actually dumber than bags of rocks, even though they claim otherwise. One would have to be a mental midget to somehow equate Trump with Hitler.

But MSAGAts equated Biden to Hitler and they are super smart?
 
Typically when people use "educated" in the modern political arena, it means "college educated".
In all fairness that doens't carry the prestige it used to.

Tell someone these days that you went to college and they give you that look like you just said you moved recently to the area from California. :ROFLMAO:
 
It's hilarious when I realize that those Liberal dummies are a notch below garbage. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
It's also hilarious that these self-professed geniuses are doubling down on everything that caused them to lose an election to an uneducated serial liar grifter rapist seditionist insurrectionist domestic terrorist nazi Hitler fascist senile convicted felon criminal misogynist racist. Those of us who don't like what the democrats have become should encourage them to triple down.

Leftists: How do you feel about Candace Owens? Larry Elder? Clarence Thomas? Don't hold back now, tell us how you really feel, and don't be afraid to use the N word.

I agree!!

Collidge ain't no good!! 🤡 (y)
 
Um, no.

The "Democrats" feel superior because they don't deny science and don't enthusiastically embrace conspiracy theories like Qanon as something that is real.

Instead they embrace the "fine people" hoax, the Jan6th hoax, the Project 2025 hoax, and the Hitler/Fascism hoax.

They don't spend eight years believing that a President has no birth certificate.

No but they do spend that long believing there's a tape of him being peed on and the entire Steele dossier.

They can look at child obesity rates in America and refrain from rushing to promote more pizza.

Actually they are the ones promoting the pizza and many empty and non-satiating foods because they believe that low-fat means you will not get fat. School lunches are full of carbs, empty calories and avoid meat and protein.

They can look at a foreign policy issue and ask for more evidence without launching head first into "finding WMD in Iraq." And they can look at Trump's plot to steal the 2020 election and call it actual election fraud.

Biden is literally trying to start WWIII this week. Also Democrats in Congress endorsed the Bush actions with Biden, Clinton and Kerry all voting for it. Democrats are the war party. They can look at 2020 and call it whatever they want but they conveniently forgot the preserve their committee records and the world has woken up from their lies.

I find it very telling, and highly ironic, that right-wingers default to the false idea that it is a sheet of paper that make Democrats feel superior to this crap. The fact that you don't feel superior to the crap that the Republican Party has been peddling for two decades now should be a personal eye opener.

What high horse have you climbed onto and doubled down on after losing this last election cycle so badly? Please keep on keeping on because it will make 2026 and 2028 a cakewalk.

By the way, this is the same attitude that had right-wingers shoving health officials and medical professionals to the side during a global pandemic.

Maybe people have just gotten tired of the climate change racket and also noticed that the efforts to combat it are giant cess-pools of money with no accountability, lots of fraud and few results.

I'd do a quick search about how Hawaii and California are treating owners of home solar as an example of how people are getting a clue about all of this. Also realize that "do whatever I say or else you don't endorse this cause and you get no agency and no input". Just has stopped working.

In California for example we had a governor candidate promoting modern nuclear power plants along with desalination plants to end draught, promote clean energy for cars, and lower our power rates all in a more carbon neutral manner. The Democrat solution is always... scarcity. Just use less power, take shorter showers, suffer more or perhaps don't have kids, die or move away.

It isn't that people have given up on some of these concepts. They've just given up on listening to the Democrat Party and their failures as a choice for how to solve them.

BTW, you are welcome to point to the blue shining city on the hill with clean energy, modern infrastructure, wonderful services and people clamoring to move in and live there. People are fleeing blue governance in every way they can.

That comes with elitism. They have no repsect whatsoever for the working class, which they calimed as their primary constituency in the JFK era. And the Trump is hitler nonsense dragged them down even deeper.
 
If Trump created a virus that only killed college educated liberals the economy would actually improve. That's just how useful these college educated liberals really are.

Sounds a whole like advocating for killing Liberals.

That seems like it should be a rule violation.

What those self professed geniuses never realized is that a lot of Blacks and Latinos are not college educated, and their elitist insults really inspire those minorities to vote for them. Nothing inspires a black man more to vote for someone who thinks they are inferior because they are not college educated.

Ever see a bell curve?

The world's greatest thinkers lived in poverty.
 
Nope. I'm just a hillbilly MAGAt. Is that a new beer? One of my pappy's cousins back east might know, he done done the third grade. Yee Haw!
What would it take for you to get in a place in your life where you do not see the need to lash out?
 
You mean like spend my entire day trashing Trump and his voters on an obscure political forum? That kind of lashing out?
Specifically, I mean lashing out against those with degrees.
 
In all fairness that doens't carry the prestige it used to.

Maybe that'show you feel about them, but MAGA views college with disdain.

Why would I? I have an engineering degree from UPenn and a Wharton MBA. My wife has a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and my daughter is in her second year of a PH.D. studying Bio-engineering.

If that is actually true, then good for you. It makes your lashing out against education even more puzzling though.

So you've seen them but still managed to miss the meaning of my post, proving my point.

Sit down, take a deep breath, as this is going to be a shock and potentially mind boggling. Maybe I'm not lashing out at ALL college educated people, just those who falsely think that a college education somehow makes them superior to those who don't have one. Bill Gates never finished college, is he a hillbilly MAGAt? Did you ever stop to wonder if all this elitist rhetoric you neo-leftists spew incessantly is actually part of the reason why the American people prefer someone like Trump, of all people? It's funny how a lot of HS educated people understand that.
