Why did Clinton’s margin surge in the 50 most-educated counties and collapse in the 50 least-educated counties?

Was it just a coincidence?

Highest educstion level achieved != most politically knowledgable or wise.

because trump is a idiot and appealed to the dumbasses who think voting for him made them any more richer or effective

he's gonna crash our economy, destroy our ecology, and turn Americans against each other

What the fuck is politically knowledgeable or wise? A literal part of education is learning more about historic and recent events.

Do you think you're like politically wise or something and collect social security for your crippling autism ?

in gonna guy, former burn codes here. This is the seriousness watching But crash this Trump. Trump Not all hilarious we can't let and lie get fucking nuclear voter.

Trupm voters had significantly higher incomes on average than Hillary voters.

How sad, probably failed gender studies majors.

>and turn Americans against each other

Because that's not what the media is doing and has been doing from the start.

Highest educated = most years of Cathedral brainwashing

worry about your own country dick turd, just because you're getting cucked doesnt mean you're American

Oh yeah the "Fake Media", shame on them for reporting what actually happens

Again why are you even talking about our country? Why dont you go burn a church or something

With the way he wrote that sentence I don't think he's British either.

All these surveys measure is the highest education level achieved. Whether you got a degree in polysci, nuclear physics, or gender theory is irrelevant, all that matters is if you got a associates masters, PhD, etc.

These things measure how smart knowledgable someone is in a respective topic, not their overall worldliness or wiseness. There's a reason why college profs have a reputation as studious bookworms who get lost.

I can't believe I have to explain what a major is to you.

I guess the good righteous liberals shouldn't be shunning the most downtrodden areas of our country to pander strictly to comfortable city people and illegals who shouldn't be here to begin with.

538 and nate cucktin spent the last 2 years thoroughly discrediting themselves. nobody has any reason to even click that link, let alone read his bullshit

Because higher education is literally indoctrination for liberal think.
Also, education!=intelligence. There are phds writing books about reparations.

> educated

One can be educated in non-sciences and hypothetically obtain a doctorate in Lesbian studies.

That region would technically produce the most doctors, because being a Lesbiantologist has a low bar of entry.

It's the same with "intellectualism". You are only an (((Intellectual))) if your political beliefs align with other (((Intellectuals))). If you disagree with the party line you are an ant-Intellectual.

>tfw too smart to let Drumpf get a hold of the nuclear codes

An interesting question, obviously. I have my Master's degree, so am "educated" but also support Trump, so am not in the mold of your stereotypical Ivy League liberal.

My theory is that academia, while making people booksmart, actually produces mindless drones that parrot the opinions of the elite. The less educated still have to rely on common sense. In this past election, Donald Trump was the common sense candidate.

I didn't ask you to explain what a major is, your dumbass thought somehow it was relevant.

If you hadn't gone straight for McDonalds out of highschool you might have realized students get a glimpse of many other subjects through general education.. many of which includes topics which (beyond teaching just straight polysci) lead to a more developed understanding of the world

You must really be slow if you really believe the only things stupid learn are their majors... theres far much more to education than this, all subjects have an inherent relation and that inherent relation (as I said before) leads to a more aware understanding of the world

It's a better metric than anything else we have to gauge wisdom.. unless you have another idea?

Face it, you've voted the same as the dumbest in our nation, regardless of education. Now we're all going to pay the price.

t. rural and suburban retard pretending to be educated

> tfw smart enough to get up in your head and fuck your mind while you sit back and watch with enjoyment.

Haha you people are so funny. You think there is some sort of agenda that makes educational liberal. Have you ever considered that just getting an education leads to an larger world understanding opening for levels of empathy and understand that you really can't get by posting on Sup Forums and reading visual novels all day.

>There are phds writing books about reparations.

Yeah and these are probably going to be far more successful than anything you ever do

Trump is a genius. He knows most of his supporters are borderline retarded so he speaks accordingly.

This is him explaining what uranium is to his supporters at a level they can understand.

wow... kinda like.... your guy's obsession with trump regardless of not having an income large enough to benefit from his presidency

>m-muh Make America Great Again!

Book smart is not wisdom. Wisdom is knowing what you don't know. And they don't know that their ideology is grounded in nihilism

>Five Thirty Eight

Joke's on you nigga, I'm getting a tax cut and get to report several illegals that I know of. Feels good.

Trip fag

Most-educated = most-indoctrinated

> Wisdom is knowing what you don't know
woah bro that entry level philosophy course is really coming in handy, should I start calling you Socrates ?

>Knowing what you dont know
I think you should know this sounds retarded, you probably didnt know that.. so now u are wise

>FAKE NEWS!

Am I right?? How dare they post such inaccurate SLANDER against TRUMP!

Wow thanks for caring more about our country than your own

Their ideology will lead to the destruction of the civilization that produced them, and they're either so blinded by elite opinion or so nihilistic, that they won't do anything about it. Academia, by and large, produces a mental cage.

Why were their (538s) numbers so disproportionately inaccurate?
They had klinton as a complete lock/landslide

>Most-educated = most-indoctrinated

I Hope you're joking friend.

If you actually think that time spent in college directly correlates to increasing intelligence in all intellectual fields, you're a fucking retard.

Getting told information by some armchair geezer does not guarantee an increase in competency in anything but the field you signed up for. Whether you sign up for Biomed or fashion, you aren't also learning more about pan-slavic geopolitical history.

And maybe if you knew the slightest fucking thing about sampling or confounding variables, you'd be able to realize that "most educated counties" will be skewed thanks to college towns like Cambridge or Stanford, where the majority of the population works for or has attended the schools within it.

Everyone's getting a tax cut, just you won't have the nice government services that have helped you out before ;-)

>to report several illegals that I know of
Great, so when the agricultural industry tanks and prices go through the roof, you'll be able to sit back and think, "wow I really did something"

Less educated doesn't mean less intelligent. College is a joke nowadays anyways. The standards have been lowered so much that just about any idiot can get in, and professors are forced to pass almost everyone. Even Ivy League universities are suffering from this now.

>Why did Clinton’s margin surge in the 50 most-educated counties and collapse in the 50 least-educated counties?

Liberal Arts majors. The wealthiest third of the upper middle class(aka, engineers, doctors, and lawyers), are more likely to vote Republican.

This. is a retarded burger who probably thinks that college still means something in the 21st century.

Are these the same educated people who believe that trannies are normal?

t. intellectual yet idiot

boo hoo I get it, you don't have a college education. It's totally okay buddy!

woah
>sampling or confounding variables

Big words though buckaroo, did you learn about those on Wikipedia? The same wikipedia that cites almost the entirety of its articles on scholastic work down by "armchair geezers"?? Like practically every faucet of knowledge in our country?? DAMN!

Awww look you have the same "Fake news" chant as your leader Trump whenever something isn't going ur way :')

Hello, China.

Are you guys that insecure about not having a degree that you need to obsess over someone else's country?

Guess what, I don't have one either! But i'm not deluding myself like you are

Kek

You seem to think Trump gives a shit who uses women's restrooms. He said he was fine with it on the campaign trail, only to recant later because of party politics.

Anyone who gives a shit about such a stupid issue is being conned by the establishment.

You know, an important part of baiting is to not pull the stops out and accuse the other person of something that never happened.

I never said anything about fake news, and I never said that college professors were stupid. I maintain, (because it's the truth) that esoteric knowledge in one field doesn't carry over to general knowledge in all fields.

Learn from this mistake next time you try to shit up a thread.

Exactly. Love Nassim's twitter feed, so much. Can really recommend you scroll through that

The real question is why did her surge happen in sanctuary cities and places with the highest crime rates.

I have a degree and am working on a second, while working fulltime. My point with intellectuals yet idiots, is that PLENTY of academics have the degrees, but are fucking idiots when it comes to real life. Best example of this is a guy like Paul Krugman, who is arguably the number 1 academic economist of his generation, but when it comes to real life economics, is such a fucking fool it is hard to fathom

No, college won't increase your intelligence, but you're more likely to make it to college if you're intelligent.

There may exist a few outliers, but if we look at the average IQs of high school dropouts and college graduates, college graduates will have a higher average IQ than high school dropouts.


Being drafted as a basketball player won't make you taller, but if you got picked, it's likely you're tall.

Hope this clears things up for you friend.

Every college requires a shit ton of general studies that every student must complete in order to graduate. ethnic studies, astrology, geology, anthropology, urban studies, philosophy and so on.

You basically study for 4-5 years 50% of your major, which is already a wide variety of topics, and 50% everything else.

Didn't Trump win the college educated White vote?

Cute. Name one liberal policy that does this

Basically this

/thread

I believe so yes.

Really inundates the synapses...

I'm not even trying to bait you, you are literally just getting triggered

Its hard to have made a mistake when I didn't have any goals buddy


Knowledge gained in college is not at all esoteric, but at-least you're starting to realize people ARE gaining knowledge.

What IS general knowledge if not an accumulation of what you would deem "esoteric knowledge"?

I get it, you aren't too smart you probably have to latch onto your race to feel better about yourself, just because you're insecure and fool yourself that you're more intelligent than you really are doesnt mean you can fool anybody else :+)

>why are you even talking about our country?

I hope you are not that retarded, what ever happens in the US affects the whole world. It isn't like an election in Luxemburg or something. Weak bait, 3/10 made me reply

>Guess what, I don't have one either!
Oh my god, no way...

I'm talking about their campaigning. I'm talking about their attitudes towards people.

They constantly call them retards, idiots, rednecks, losers, neckbeards, basement dwellers, racists, sexists, homophobes, and on and on and on... People hate you because you're self-righteous fucking assholes.

Oh yeah I forgot, your metric of who is a "fucking idiot" is the metric we all have agreed on for determining wisdom. You must be at the top of the wise, since.. you are yourself after all :-)

>what ever happens in the US affects the whole world

so why are you trying to fuck everything up ?

High concentration of highly educated people is often indicative of government gravy train counties. Top two counties are located next to DC, from where all the money flows to government contracters and shit.

Sanctuary cities, LGBTQBBQBTFOWTFLMAO "protection" laws, and the progressive's insistent that being white and a man means you deserve zero help.

>economics degree

Literally the liberal arts of the alt right

Daily reminder to trump supporters.


Do you know what uranium is?

It's this thing called nuclear weapons and other things like lots of things are done with uranium including some bad things.

The joke is on you senpai. I'm not even studying economics.

Brilliance in action right here:

The electotal college is not a worldwide popularity contest.
Remember that for 2020.

So because someone made fun of you that means higher education is pointless and MUH STREET SMARTS is real education? Laughable. I'll have a large fries btw, oh and hold the pickles

>Actually comparing that to trump trying to explain what uranium is

Come on now.

>these poorly treated individuals are getting rights recently
>STOP OPPRESSING ME!

This really depends on your school and credits acquired before you attend college. I didn't take my college's religious studies course, but I don't see myself as having missed much beyond intricate details for scripture of the quran. I already understand the majority of world religions and their tenets.

College isn't some secret vault of wealth that will directly improve your mind. None of this information is exclusive to a university classroom or lecture hall, and none of it is guaranteed to stick with a student forever.

I'm not triggered at all.

You don't even know what esoteric means. You use it in a sentence like it's a synonym for "frivolous". Esoteric means "little known". It does not mean unimportant. General knowledge is not the summation of esoteric knowledge. The summation of esoteric knowledge would be an encyclopedia. General knowledge is composed of basic facts and information gleaned from a variety of common areas such as how many states there are or what year a movie was released. General knowledge doesn't have to, and doesn't solely include intellectual information. Knowing how to change a tire or tie a rope is not intellectual, but it does qualify as general knowledge.

As you clearly didn't attend college and are trying to act like someone who has, is there anything else you'd like explained?

For my two cents, higher levels of education just mean more years of indoctrination, particularly but not exclusively in the arts. How many fucking lesbian or jew or jew/lesbian professors run the show. All the department chairs are jews and the funding is all from jews. And if you want your degree you will regurgetate the views that these jews give you.
And all of you "scientists" out there are practically no better. You do not question the narratives that you are given by these same type professors, e.g. electric sun or colloidal silver or cannabis for cancer.
It really is just a matter of getting red piled at some point later and just going along to pass.
You also can't get your degree at countless universities now unless you take a course in cuck, I mean diversity.

>these poorly treated individuals are getting rights recently

More like:
>these welfare thieving beaners are trying to get citizenship
>STOP TRYING TO CHANGE MY COUNTRY INTO A 3RD WORLD SOCIALIST NARCO STATE

God the left is a fucking disgrace. Even after all these months you still don't get it.

You're such horrible human beings that I'm gay and I feel more comfortable and happy socializing with Nazis then I do with you. Get a fucking clue and get your shit together you absolute prick.

>This really depends on your school and credits acquired before you attend college
No it literally doesn't. Unless you are going to a trade school nearly half of your classes are courses outside of your major

I have attended college I just left :+)

All im gonna say is
>I'm not triggered at all.
>proceeds to write huge fucking dissertation

Btw I know was esoteric means dipshit, this isn't like some intense vocabulary knowledge you have

I'm not a Christian, but I think it's ridiculous to force people that are into participating in shit that goes against their beliefs. So yeah, forcing bakers and florists to do gay weddings bothers me. Protecting criminals is awfully stupid as well.

some day you will realise schooling is for the most part mental conditioning/brainwashing

"Said the foreigner"

Smarter people knew that his policies were destructive.

>mommy they're making fun of me!

If trump made things worse what would pols attitude become?


I'd feel sorry for the poor people who voted for him and genuinely believed he was going to bring change and improve their lives.

>Btw I know was esoteric means
>>even though I used it incorrectly

>lying with statistics 101
Populated counties are more likely to have a greater concentration of jerk-off degrees than rural, underpopulated counties.

Different schools have different classes. Student choice is also a factor. You could only take theater or literature based classes as electives, or you could take a wide variety of courses. I know a few people who just finished undergrad at community college and then transferred into a grafuate program.

You clearly don't know what esoteric means, because you used it incorrectly and then made an entire argument out of your manufactured meaning of the word. But yeah, reply again trying to cover your ass, you still look like a faggot.

I don't think it's ridiculous because I'm not an adult child.

>I refuse service because you aren't exactly me!

Literal children

We have the same problem here in Yurop mi hombre. In the Netherlands only 30% of Somalians have ANY kind of work, and the rest are on welfare. And it is not as if the work they do is of any value; unlike what MSM wants to have you believe, none of them are rocket scientists.
It might be hard for you to understand, but I can really relate to fellow Westerners who are faced with the same kinds of problems that my country is dealing with. Empathy is not just a white liberal rapefugee welcome thing, you baka

I'm fine with you stubbornly upholding leftist elitism.

The only one it's hurting is you. And you deserve it.

>Different schools have different classes. Student choice is also a factor. You could only take theater or literature based classes as electives, or you could take a wide variety of courses

All state and major universities require a large amount of vastly differing general education topics.

>muh trade school
>muh private lib arts college

Quit backtracking on your initial statement that all college education is just your major.

If that's what someone wants to do, that's their person. Personally were I a baker, I wouldn't be turning down business like that unless I had some sort of personal disagreement or financial issue with the person.

And you very much are a child, you want daddy government to make sure all the other kids play with you.

What's the criteria by which we should evaluate the beliefs of others and allow them special privileges because of these beliefs?

We obviously wouldn't allow a man to kill others because it is consistent with his beliefs.

>If that's what someone wants to do, that's their person.
>>person
Business*

>You're such horrible human beings that I'm gay and I feel more comfortable and happy socializing with Nazis then I do with you.

This. I've been called a fag and a sodomite here but I definitely don't feel like a punching bag. I've been in SJW circles and they made it very clear that as a FUCKING WHITE MALE my voice didn't count for shit. SJWism is a mental disease.

Cast another revenge vote then. Be a child and do that.
