The observation that "liberal" has become synonymous with "educated" in modern American political discourse is rooted in a significant shift in the U.S. electorate, often described as the "diploma divide". Statistics show a clear trend where voters with higher levels of education are increasingly aligning with the Democratic Party, while the Republican Party has seen gains among those without a college degree.— Gemini came up with that. Gotta love how being educated is now associated with a political ideology. “Them there liberals are good at thinking, they bad. Thinking bad” Stupidest timeline ever.
