The overall population of the US is a pyramid.

There are those uber educated at the top. They have several degrees. They can read (probably in more than one language), write, and publish.

There's the next group for the most part college educated with a Masters, well read. Some may write, maybe Not so many publish.

There's a glut of college educated that get stuck in the most boring jobs on earth. Busy raising families or saving for that vaca property or bass boat.

There's the ones that graduated from high school. Maybe they went into the trades or got themselves a factory job. trying to make ends meet to spend much time with editorials never mind following what their elected officials are working on. By the time they hear about it the bill has been passed and it's just another reason they hate the government.

There's the level below this. It's unlikely they read unless it has to do with sports or glamour. Their future is not bright and they are struggling to get buy. Maybe they have jobs but those big dreams probably went through the shredder miles back. They are just hoping their elected officials aren't screwing them (more/again). It's hard to say how many of these folks vote or do they just view it as "resistance is futile"?

Much in what you say as far too many don't pay too much attention to the workings of our government but I would not disparage those who did not go to college, many have their own businesses and do very well for themselves.

I am not disparaging anyone, at least that was not my intention.

There's a key section of our population that gets actively involved in elections. I think this is because a) they have the time and b) they may have some connections. I can see someone with an established business getting involved but someone starting out? They just don't have the time.

That may be the reason that older folks lean conservative, they have the time needed to see WTF is going on in this country.

In the U.S. in 2019 10% and declining but who’s counting? You were close enough for a liberal fact. You should author some “common sense” gun legislation with your abilities manipulating statistics. At least go into politics, left or right.

In the Great White North it's 100% and not limited to the elderly. I think it's from those couple hundred years of being ruled over by a damned foreign country.

If Mark Robinson is MLK on steroids, as Bigly gushes, then the Trump owned US is Miss Piggy on steroids rage.

Does This NC Republican Sound Like 'Martin Luther King on Steroids' to You? You Won't Believe This
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson once called the Civil Rights Movement a “communist plot to subvert capitalism."
