I’ve looked at the stats, and it’s clear a college education is a poor gauge to raise when talking about political astuteness.
When you get right down to it, income is another misnomer when looking at political astuteness. Why? Because folks that make the most money in this nation, generally have a higher education.
Book smarts is excellent in some ways. Street smarts and life skills smarts are excellent in others.
Right now the College educated highest wage earners are not able to discern that Hillary Clinton is a global threat to peace, and Western Civilization.
They are not able to grasp that she is most certainly a top level crime figure and has been for three decades that we know of.
They don’t care that her husband was a rapist, that they both committed acts that could be seen as treasonous.
I could go on and on.
Spare me the insults using education, income, and genes.
I’ll put my genes up against Brock’s any day of the week.
FReepers as a group have that guy literally destroyed when it comes to the required intelligence to make wise decisions. Their genes account for it in part.
They cared enough to seek out information and use it to make sound decisions also.
Brock sure can’t make that claim. If if he does, his genes certainly failed him.
This article is about David Brooks, not David Brock. Similar mindset, tho.
