Exactly this! I keep seeing posts on X about “low information/IQ Trump voters” and it’s just infuriating. Most of the time I let it slide. If they think we are stupid, they will keep losing. But sometimes I can’t help myself and I chime in with examples of my core friend group (engineers, doctors, CPAs, executives) and the OP vanishes. Funny how that happens! 😏

Remember: whatever they call us is projection. I don't mind them insulting themselves.

I myself have two degrees (one highly technical) and at age 59 am about to go get another one in a completely different field. We are anything but uneducated. They say “well, it’s not talking down to them because we have to pay attention to the demographics and the demographics say MAGA is less educated”. Well I say their “demographics” are clearly as corrupt as their “polls”. 🤣

Sorry, they ARE talking down and it’s landing them in the dog house.

Same. Chemical engineer here. But I’m going in a slightly different direction. I decided to retire and try to let my creative side take a front seat for a while. Although I admit to still downloading large datasets and analyzing things regarding COVID and the elections too. (You can’t take the nerd out of the girl. I can’t help myself! 🤣)

Yeah who was it, Joy Reid or Sonny Hostin? specifically and repeatedly pronouncing "uneducated white women" as the problem? 🤣
