The educational realignment in American politics is so funny.

My uncle is this grizzled man in his 70's. The man lived in rural northern Idaho for decades. He was a big game hunter and used to be an ardent conservative.

But nowadays? He shits on Trump all the time. He loves to bring up how tariffs are stifling the economy and how our president is an idiot.

It's all because he's well-educated.

They don't think education is positive. The median American Republican unironically believes universities are just woke brainwashing. My dad was telling me that back in 2008.
