I keep hearing the talking heads repeatedly saying that many of Trump's votes came from "uneducated" voters. They then attempt to clarify the remark by saying, "those without a college degree".
Okay. Simple math tells me they think HS grads are "uneducated".
So, since the vast majority of US voters are products of the public school system, didn't they just admit that they consider the products of that system to be "uneducated"?
Hardly seems like a ringing endorsement for one of their sacred cows.
Let these fuckers keep insulting real USA loving citizens....it's only going to push more people away from their toxic "party" of fools.
Jethro Bodine graduated 5th grade three times as the story goes....
The People voted and Trump won.
Yep, At least us skilled tradesmen don't owe the government hundreds of thousands of dollars
Maybe they just need a new slogan - "The US Public Education System: Producing uneducated graduates for almost 200 years."
Of course, if you want educated grads, they're gonna need more funding (to provide tampons in the boys bathrooms, of course).

Pretty much all politicians are "educated", which, to be fair, trump is included in that group. Pretty sure like 99% of them have never touched a shovel, and again, to be fair, trump is included in that group of people with labia palms.
The only place Kamala won were the inner cities, and those inhabitants are supposed to be smart/educated?
My point was that they are implying that the products of their beloved "education" system are not educated. They consider them simpletons; ignorant rubes incapable of making intelligent decisions on matters like who to vote for... and yet their system is the one that produced these people they hold in such disdain.
The irony in their attempted insult is palpable.
Personal POV: Some of the smartest/sharpest people I've met throughout my lifetime never went to college.
Imagine being so educated that you don't know the difference between being educated and being intelligent.
When I was a kid, I worked about the neighborhood as "day laborer"....one guy I worked for was briliant...but he couldn't thread a nut on a bolt....
That was going to be my reply to Magoo - there's a difference between intelligence and education.
We have several PhDs in our family that are just slightly more intelligent than a brick... and most of them got their doctorate in fields that have no practical value, the result being the only jobs they can get are ones at a school teaching the same useless info to future morosophs - perpetuating the uselessness. They don't seem to think for themselves, they just repeat what they hear - a habit they picked up in school when they had to parrot whatever their professors said or risk not getting their degree in American Stupidity or some other worthless liberal arts major - conform or be cast out. So much for being bastions of free thinking.
But they think they're the smartest person in the room and look down their nose at anyone who doesn't hold a PhD, disregarding them and their opinions as inferior, uninformed and irrelevant (much like what you've seen from the talking heads the last few days). It's laughably pathetic and seems to be based in their own insecurities.
Smart enough to get the rest of us to pay for all their needs? 😁
To be somewhat fair, it's really only been since 1979 when the Department of Education was created.
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the "free"public education system was started around 1830, wasn't it?
Of course, I could be uneducated on that. 😁
But I get what you're saying. Since they federalized it, public education in this country has become a "jobs" program, complete with unions, to look out for those employees first.
No. Us tradesman are paying for the wars, and the illegals, and the election bullshit .
You know, taxpayers that go to work everyday
Only poor and stupid people voted for Trump. The last 4 years have made me poorer and stupider than I’ve ever been, so the choice was an obvious one.
What they mean by uneducated is that we didn't go through/rejected the the university indoctrination process.
And, unfortunately, their student “loans”.
That is completely unfair.
Pit Row
1871 was the 1st federal Indian school. 1879 Carlisle Pa. Opened that was a Real bad one. There where in many states including Wi. Aprox 250k died in them. Majority are in unmarked graves. There is a small cemetery in Carlisle though. I use the copy machine at a educational building at the Oneida reservation , for free. They hv a area in the middle of the computers , etc. with a 4 ft wall a few bean bags in there. I go in there and plop down & relax. I speak there language I always look forward to seeing them. They like hearing stories of there home land in Ny. And show them pics , etc. The Indians Really didn’t like the craziness that Biden was doing . They want everyone to be in peace. No constitution or bill of rights on the Res. There laws predate the constitution. So that’s different there more about character and Genuine good spirit to all things. They hv a lot of ceremonies this time of yr. To earth , water, rivers, lakes, animals, plants,trees, people of the Tribe to everyone, etc. families taking others in a single person doing the same. I know a woman from Ireland she has her accent yet. Her mother passed & they took her in. Because she was poor. Really good people . They didn’t need our schools they all ready had advanced math & 400 languages.
Yeah Truckers living in a truck that can’t afford an apartment. Just love paying for Rich kids college.
Well according to the woke crowd, math is racist, so what's the educational subjects when people finally "see the light?"
From what I saw ovr Xmas stuck in the Seattle area for 4 days. It’s by far the biggest woke zone in the country . I mentioned this months ago.
Most of my customers don't question my education, but if they do I let them know I have a couple PhD's
Think it was 6th..
Pine Handled Devices?
Edit:
Trying to make it sound sophisticated
I ran a dairy farm at 9 yrs old in 5th grade . My dad was locked up or committed to a mental institution for a few months.
We had 44 cows always miking . A lot of repairs on equipment & getting stuff rt. I did things different like I didn’t get the 1948 high stake bed trk next to the corn crib & throw it ovr the high sides to ld it. I checked to see if we had enough electric cord , repair them. Then get a tractor & hook the elevator I added a chain for securement . Get that in place by the corn crib. Then the trk roll down the barn hill then dump the clutch . To start it then get that in place , throw blocks of wood the block the tires. Leave it run because it didn’t start. Then shovel corn & throw it onto the elevator to fill the trk. Once full I drove to the feed mill . Check in then scale then dump it. Tell the guy what type of bags I wanted. Buy some .177 pellets for my gun. Walk to a tiny store & buy a sour lolly pop & hang out waiting for the feed to be made. Visit a family I knew. Truck had nothing for brakes so the drive was cautious. We ended up selling it . Then I had to use a neighbors pu jump in a car drive there to get it. He had 2 Real Hot daughters so I hung out some they gave me fresh apple pie & fed me. had basic math so I could figure out how many bags of feed for my weight of corn. So I didn’t get ripped off. Green chopping was fun I enter the barn yard with the Massey Harris 444 & the cows get excited. Drive down a black top rd to a field get my wagon full. Reentering the barn yard the cows get excited & don’t wait for me to unhook. I think I,m 9 here I was fat Elbert in a play at school. My mom permed my hair.haha All kinds of things to do on a farm. I Really wanted to play little league but had to work 7 days a week. So I made work fun.
I staged that pic & told them let me get my pole & everyone hold a fish. I got my fishing hat on , lazy eye Scotty has my engineers hat I let him wear for the day. I mostly got Sheila ovr her fear of worms or at least hold the can of worms. Don’t be shocked today if you see a kid on driving farm equipment down the rd in Wi. Up north I think it’s 12 to legally take a atv on rds. Legally a parent could serve beer to there kid in a bar at any age. Our lame current governor raced the age limit to 12 I think.
Not too long ago( 8 years-ish), i was in a meeting with a bunch of people here in the UK , who were all discussing their 'Alma Mater'.
It got to me and i just shrugged, 'never went to University'.
Which seemed to shock some and amuse others.
When the man chairing the meeting arrived, who was a Professor, it all settled down, and he did the 'round table' thing where everyone could introduce themselves, he started to his left , and the 3rd guy round decided we need to know where he studied, which a few others decided to follow, and finally it got to me, where i repeated my 'never went to University' line.
The Professor looked at me, a little puzzled, and then proceeded with the agenda.
I was the Subject Matter Expert for item 1, and was there to provide pretty much all the answers to why the meeting was called in the first place.
Item 4 on the agenda was a crowdfunding initiative for some research opportunities for the companies that paid in to our budget, for research purposes. The suggestion , from the guy who decided we needed to know his education earlier, was funding to develop equipment to find hidden water and electrical pipes . I asked him if he had thought to research if this equipment already existed, he hadnt, and me pointing out that it was already a multimillion pound industry, was deemed 'inappropriate'.
The Dems will continue to totally miss why they lost, the biggest thing to come from this, is for us not to point it out, never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

Yo, Pro!
I hear you trucker brother. I have slept many nights and downtime in my sleeper. Barely big enough to lay down in....
Cold in winter, hot in summer....
I drove alot of South Dakota, Norht Dakota and Montana delivering chemicals and jet fuel for a spray plane opertion. During harvest I drove grain trucks to mills and ethanol plants... lots of waiting in line, in middle of nowhere.
We lined up trucks in rows behind harvesters, and loaded trucks as we went through fields.. never stopped the harvesters.
Line 15 of them up and they go, not alot of fences or ditches, just wide open corn fields...
Damn farm roads as spongey as u can ever imagine, water table tok high causes it...like driving on a rubber road with unknown with unknown bottom.
Prayers up for you Brother. It's a tough way to make a living.... no one knows what we experience...
I'm retired from driving, can't pass physical with shit hearing..
Stay safe,
Pisto
