I love how they have to believe universities are just indoctrination centers instead of the much more simple explanation that the more you learn and the more people you interact with from different backgrounds the less likely you are to hold conservative beliefs.
So he wants DEI for political beliefs?
That graph should really make people think.
Yes. Tell us. Why does intelligence seem to come hand in hand with more empathy?
If Conservatives were smart they wouldn’t have voted for Trump 🤷♂️
Gee, it’s like education and facts turn people into liberals.
Stop listening to this prick. Even when he gets something right, no one should take him seriously without doing their own research. He’s a notorious liar. Even over something like video games.
It’s easier to cry about being discriminated against than coming to the realization you’re entire belief system attracts idiots
They keep acting like universities are “indoctrination centers” in some way. Meanwhile, I went to one of the most liberal colleges in the country and took a few ethics courses as electives. Guess what? No indoctrination whatsoever. In fact, those classes actually lead me to have *more respect and understanding for* *right-wing viewpoints.* The class wasn’t at all taught to teach us to think a certain way, it just taught about different ethical systems and how ethical thought works. Arguably, a class based on ethics would be one that would be the most likely to try to indoctrinate students, but it didn’t. I even had ethical discussions about abortion and stuff with someone who didn’t agree with me, and this class helped me actually just agree to disagree rather than try to convince him to change his mind. You can argue facts and figures all day, but it is very difficult to convince someone to change their moral compass.
Not to sound like a jerk, but I think there is some legitimacy here. A lot of cons I’ve spoken to, don’t get abstract ideas. They really can’t see 3 steps ahead, or possible outcomes. I have yet to figure out how to debate that but I try.
Reality has a well known liberal bias.
Wait, you mean to tell me that more left-leaning folks will accept less pay to ensure the next generation is educated and be involved in meaningful research than join a corporate job to make more money??? /s
“The vast majority of our voter base is uneducated af” is not the flex you think it is.
LOL they are spinning this as something against democrats and liberals when really all it says is that conservstives are uneducated and dumb
I was a very republican woman, before I went to get a few degrees. Crazy what learning how to determine if a source is credible or not can do for a person.
I actually take it that the more you learn the more prone you are seek out and enjoy new things and that you have a better understanding of different points of view
So basically “the more educated, the less Republican you become”
Go figure. Who would have thought!?!
I suspect that my ‘wow is different to Elmo’s ‘wow’.
Decades of rampant anti-intellectualism and preaching against education _surely_ don’t have anything to do with it.
Intelligence dominates academia and Democratic Party goals and principles require an intellect larger than a pea to understand
It’s not the only conclusion, but a lot of academia is admitting you were wrong and/or changing your mind based on evidence. Two things conservatives are mostly unable to do.
It’s not a coincidence that the states that rank last in education are red. Dumb and dumber love republican ideology
Self selection at work. It’s not that conservatives are inherently unwelcome but how are you going to be the flat-earth anti-vax science professor? Or the Larry Greenwood and Kid Rock music professor? Or the only-two-genders psych/medical professor? Or the Trump-won-2020 historian, or the president-can-do-anything legal scholar… (well, we have some of those)
Reality has a liberal bias
Elon is a fucktard
I feel more embarrassed to be an engineer than usual.
It’s a fact that ignorant and uneducated people fall more likely for lies and propaganda
