The people who think they know all they need to know and stop asking questions are the uneducated. If one is not asking questions, fishing for new answers, then that person is "un-educated.<br /><br />In my mind Trump voters fell into two groups. One group just could not stomach Hillary, so they voted for Trump. The other were previous non voters who had stopped long ago asking questions and wanted/needed someone with a strong nationalistic message to follow. Regardless, both at some point stopped asking questions.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855180793926350647.post-21940034643234874872016-11-27T15:34:28.150-05:002016-11-27T15:34:28.150-05:00The people who are offended by terms like poorly e...The people who are offended by terms like poorly educated are usually the same people who take great pride in scorning 'book larnin' and are deliberately and willfully ignorant. If they want to wallow in their cluelessness they should expect to be subjected to mockery and disdain from those of us who know the earth isn't flat.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855180793926350647.post-83328499006760201102016-11-27T10:31:04.655-05:002016-11-27T10:31:04.655-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Leannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313664441343901006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855180793926350647.post-65601713354065775962016-11-26T11:08:58.266-05:002016-11-26T11:08:58.266-05:00Maybe the poorly educated want to be that way.

When your view of the world is limited to the size of the local coffee shop window and you are resistant to facts then willfully ignorant is a good description.<br />I read an interview with a 'blue-dog' Democrat congressman from rural Michigan who says the Democrats are out of touch with his constituents. Their concerns about agriculture policy and trade I understand but their other concerns echo those of the people who elected Trump. Why would anyone WANT the Dems to moderate their policies to suit people with their heads firmly up their ass? These rural (and others of their ilk) seem to think it is OK for them to inflict their views (religion) on every one else.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.com
