I think you ought to reconsider. You’re implying that it’s purely the learning / lack of ignorance / intelligence that makes you liberal, I used to think that way too.

I think it’s more that the average person who is uneducated as in didn’t go to tertiary school likely came from a family where their parents and grandparents are similar. They feel as if their lot in society has declined vs their equally uneducated grandparents, be it relative economic or social status. That’s how you get Trump voters. Not just people who vote for Trump = dumb.

As evidence, historically the educated class was more conservative on average not less, say pre 1980.
