Notice the breakdown of education vs. voting patterns? Those with advanced degrees are usually voting for Dems.
Why?
Perhaps this study by the University of Kansas gives a clue:
“STUDY SHOWS VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITH LESS EDUCATION MORE LIKELY TO BELIEVE, SHARE MISINFORMATION”

Those who participate in activities that are correlated with intelligence, are able to think more critically about information they receive, as compared to people who do not do things correlated with intelligence. Shocking. Equally shocking - high status educated types will dance around concepts such as measurable intelligence, but never, ever hit the idea on the nose, because it would do harm to their social status to admit the obvious regarding that.

on 04/28/20 Wearing cloth masks was "proven" science. Questioning mask effectiveness was misinformation. Of course, a month earlier, saying masks were effective was considered misinformation. On 04/28/20, suggesting the virus may have come from a lab was misinformation. Today it's not. On 04/28/20, reporting that Fauci and the government had funded research that would have been considered Gain of Function (at that time) on VERY similar Coronavirus' at the Wuhan Institute was considered misinformation. On 04/28/20, suggesting that beloved Governor Andrew Cuomo was sending COVID positive patients back into nursing homes was misinformation. On 04/28/20 suggesting that the government unemployment benefits were going to lead to problems getting people to return to work was misinformation. Suggesting that dumping trillions of dollars into the system would lead to inflation was misinformation.
Should we keep going?

Wokeness is a luxury belief, and luxury beliefs will always be at tension with working class lifestyles.
The coiner of the phrase "luxury beliefs" put it this way:
Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while inflicting costs on the lower classes.

Well, some people are educated far beyond their intelligence.

MISINFORMATION”
I believe the current lefty handbook discourages using the word Misinformation without using the word Disinformation.
This two words should always be used together, and with a little rhythm please.

QUOTE
In the 2020 election, Trump carried the overall working class (noncollege) vote by 4 points (Catalist two party vote), about the same margin he had in 2016.And
since 2012, nonwhite working class voters have shifted away from the Democrats by 18 margin points, with a particularly sharp shift in the last election and particularly among Hispanics.
UNQUOTEThe above two quotes dont seem to match up. If the overall working class vote margin was the same from 2016 to 2020, how could so many non white working class people have shifted away from teh Democrats?
Anyways. I will take off my Ax hat and let you get back to your discussions. 555

@taiwan_girl the vastly increased number of voters and a very small dip in his percentage of white working class voters would account for it. So would a smaller number of working class voters.

I think Maslov's hierarchy of needs explains it all.
What's better than having stuff? Status, and the feeling of moral superiority.
