      Idk if you live around a lot of liberals but the overwhelming majority are not academics, some just went to college and maybe grad school. I’ll concede most smug academics are liberals but it doesn’t work the other way around.

      On the other hand the venn diagram between misinformed, ignorant simpletons and academics has a lot more overlap than you might think

        The overwhelming majority of people who I interact with are “apolitical.” That is to say, they don’t vote.

        And yeah, libs are conceited. They believe having a degree, let’s say, in software engineering, means it translate to having a sort of universal knowledge that makes them correct about everything, regardless of what they studied.
