Trumpism and Education Levels
There has been much discussion concerning the relationship between educational levels and political leanings. There is no doubt, for instance, that one is more likely to encounter a Trump supporter running a hardware store in rural Mississippi than teaching cardiology in a university hospital in Massachusetts.
Let’s grant that there is a strong correlation here; after all, Trump says that he “loves the uneducated.” But is there causation? Does education actively reduce the tendency to adopt Trumpist principles?
I’ll end this here and hope for a few comments that attempt to answer the matter.
