Let's look at some Data shall we?
Folks in Blue States are better educated...
"Blue states outpace red states by 5.3 percentage points in 4-year college degree attainment."
"All of the top 15 most college-educated states are blue, while only 3 of the bottom 15 are blue."
Example:
"The District of Columbia (blue) has the highest percentage of residents with a 4-year degree at 50.5%.
West Virginia (red) has the lowest percentage of residents with a 4-year degree at 17.9%." - Bansky

Condescending Clap Trap.
Education is not the same as common sense.
Education is not a measure of values.
Many (most?) of these educated elites could not change a tire or operate a chainsaw, yet they look down on a welder or an electrician, or a diesel mechanic because they lack "education".
Consider the HS grad who started a plumbing business right out of HS. Just himself and a truck for the first few years, as he slowly builds his business, adding a helper and later another truck and later more helpers. In addition to be a skilled plumber, he is also skilled at running a business, keeping records, paying taxes, creating jobs, meeting payroll. Any loans he got along the way, to finance a truck for example, he is on the hook for and is not asking for anyone else to pay the loan off for him. Uneducated? Hardly. More accurately described as educated in other things, things many would say are more important to our economy than a degree in social influencing.
Meeting a payroll!! That is something very few of those who govern us have ever had to worry about, too bad, as it would bring a stark reality into focus which would result in better legislation.
