Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 United States presidential election, social media erupted in a storm of criticism after a professor's tweet claimed that "educated people vote blue," sparking a fierce debate about elitism, political polarization, and the broader culture wars in America.

On November 6, 2024, a PhD professor in English, Sueanna Smith, penned a tweet on X suggesting that educated people tend to vote for the Democratic Party (blue), while the "uneducated" population is seen as hindering progress.

"There is a reason why educated people vote blue. What we're seeing is the uneducated population of America holding the rest of the country hostage. This is why there's such a push to weaken education, ban books, and outlaw the teaching of Black history by the Republican Party," Smith wrote.

You mean the word “progressive” which is really regressive?

“Reds - you might as well be herding cats.”

There’s much to your statement. That’s why reds are so difficult to unite.

Educated Credentialed people vote blue.

Hmmm, uneducated, like all of those blue collar workers that democrats pretend to care about? Why how condescending, which leads me to 'Sueanna, you ignorant slut!'.

Their little academic cabal arbitrarily defines themselves as intellectuals and makes war on normal people.

When normal people push back that makes normal people anti-intellectuals, see?

I was think the word “educated” when they actually mean “indoctrinated”

A truly educated person would understand that her training to understand the nuisances of the English language does not translate into a superior understand of politics, economics, history or anything else.

What these indoctrinated adult children due is the logical fallacy of appeal to authority. Her argument basically parses down to “Because I am an expert at English, I have an expert opinion about everything”

No she is most certainly does not.

This website needs a “thumbs up” button! You are spot on!

Hey Suzie, I voted for Trump, and I have a Bachelors Degree in Public Accounting, a Masters in Management, and have passed the CPA Exam. Is that good enough for you? And BTW, I learned to speak German during my 4 years in Germany.
