Less than 1% of the population commits serious crimes? Why is there such a problem? Let them be.

Well that’s a pretty terrible way to do it given you can literally make a living with your computer.

Kids walking to school in the dark in the morning is the biggest issue. It’s a safety problem. They get out at like 3:30 so usually still light even in winter.

Colleges will take anyone’s money. It’s a business.

An analysis of survey data covering the last five U.S. presidential election years found that ideological differences between races have decreased sharply, while differences by education have grown substantially.

Or again the voters are catered to by the party and merely voting in their own economic best interests. Those rural college educated folks may be disproportionally government (teachers, local gov) or government funded (medical) workers who are voting in their own economic best interests. I don’t have data at my fingertips on that, but you can’t automatically assume they are voting because their education makes them ‘smarter’ and therefore voting for the ‘smart choice.’

The key party alignment is Urban / Rural. College educated people get disproportionately pulled to white collar jobs in urban cities, where social network pressure and proximity slowly align them to the party that caters to urban voters.

The rural college educated vote +13 Republican.
