The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

When you go to college, you get exposed to people from different backgrounds, and your thought processes are driven more by logic and science. Trump says he loves the "poorly educated". His support comes from that segment, and that segment doesn't seem to care that he refers to them as the "poorly educated".

Spoken like a pure elitist. Fine if you believe the only the college educated are smart enough to realize the evil that is Trump. OK by me, so we disagree.

But when you say this, besides learning new skills, college also gave them moral values like integrity, compassion and civility, you suggest the less educated lack integrity, compassion, and civility.

There are millions of hard working blue collar types who think your college educated smugness lacks compassion and civility. And further insult is knowing the tax dollars from these deplorables who went to work right out of high school are now paying off the student loans for the "elites" who went to college for four or six year but are now unemployable with a degree in basket weaving. You should be thanking the blue collars, not denigrating them.
