Thanks for answering. I could see how people would read into these quotes as looking down on people without college degrees, but I feel like they would come off like that if you were already looking for it. These seem pretty mild compared to the loathing Republicans have for educated people and Trump saying that smart people don’t like him.

I’m not really convinced that Democrats “shit all over” people for being uneducated the way that was described, especially since I’m seeing it now directly from Trump.

I understand that it’s the long-standing sentiment of the Republican base too think that way, but it also seems like these people are bitter about not getting to go to college. So someone told them that the Democrats look down on them for not going and the Republicans say that it’s ok and boom, you have someone voting red forever. It’s ironic that they are voting for the party trying to gut the thing they initially wanted, and hating the party that (at least provides lip service) for making education easier for everyone to get.
