The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. 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.

We need a better educated populace...

"Overall the Democratic Party has a 13-point advantage (55% vs. 42%) among voters with a bachelor’s degree or more formal education.

Six-in-ten voters who have a postgraduate degree identify with the Democratic Party (61%), while 37% associate with the Republican Party.

The GOP now holds a 6 point advantage over the Democratic Party (51% to 45%) among voters who do not have a bachelor’s degree.

This dynamic has changed over time, as college-educated voters have grown more Democratic and those with less formal education have grown more Republican." (Trump: "I love the uneducated!")

This may seem obvious to regular readers of this board. It's all too apparent that many of our MAGA friends never had the opportunity to learn about media literacy,
critical thinking, the scientific method, or economics 101. I am saddened by this fact. But there is hope. People can grow, learn and change. (I myself am a recovering republican!)
Understanding the world you live in is an important part of your life's purpose.
As George Eliot said: "It is never too late to be what you might have been."

Our freedom depends on it...
