Poll: white people who’ve never moved away from their hometowns prefer Trump

- The connection is especially strong for white voters

- A new voting bloc: “sheltered” white Americans?

- Or maybe it’s just that people who aren’t educated are less likely to move

So, uneducated white folk.

Exactly the kind of people we need to purge from this country. Fucking hicks that cling to their families, hometowns, guns and religion. What kind of banana republic would you end up with by relying on those dorks?

That's taking it a little far goose. Maybe some exposure to things outside of their towns would make them a little less angry.

Wow, breaking news here.

What is next? Blacks prefer Obama?

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2016-10-13, 10:19

I feel like you're running a lil hot goose. Maybe have a drink or something.

But yeah otpt, it's not much more complicated than education levels. I'm not sure there is too much more to be derived than that.

by **DWags** 2016-10-13, 10:59

I'd be more careful with calling them uneducated. Non-degreed is closer to the truth. The "uneducated" tag becomes insulting. I have a couple degrees, but I have friends in my hometown that can take care of their farms like nobody's business. They work in a paper mill too. Make good money, hunt and fish, and enjoy the small town. I don't know if they're hilliary or trump supporters. They don't seem angry, and I don't know who or how a lot of them voted in primaries, but I know some of them have an aversion to Hilliary because they really believe she is corrupt and that she used politics to get rich. That doesnt' mean they're on team Trump either. I know many don't like him either.

How pc of you dwags. I'll make sure to use the term non degreed in the future as not to hurt their feelings.

Nah, you can't hurt their feelings, and they would not give two shits about what you call them Travis. I was saying that to this board. And seriously, they're not stupid people which "uneducated" implies. But you know that.

Oh, and it would be funny to see you walk into the North Side bar and have some beers with some really cool people and then declare them "uneducated" at the pool table. Poll: white people who’ve never moved away from their hometowns prefer Trump 502811600

Some, no doubt would ignore you, some would shake their head at a very ignorant comment, and well, I'm sure one might maybe take offense. But I don't think their feelings would be hurt.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2016-10-13, 11:10

I was just teasing you dwags. I have moron friends too.

Some of the smartest people you'll ever meet live in small towns and never went to college.

Good point. Mea culpa.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2016-10-13, 11:21

You're silly dwags :)

But, obviously there are exceptions. No shit. There are idiots with college degrees too. But, I don't have a problem, when considering national polling data, saying that uneducated people are less intelligent than educated people. Are we all comfortable with that?

Nah, a little less condescension from arrogant people in politics and the media would make them less angry. Most of them have had lots of "exposure" to the world outside their hometown and have no desire to join it.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2016-10-13, 11:31

I'm not sure I know of or have met any educated Trump supporters.

If I have, I'm thankful that I don't share their same level of education.

Bah. I have many friends that never left our hometown, usually for a variety of reasons. I despise the snooty assumption that because they didn't move away that somehow they're inferior beings. The reality is that most of them have very full and enjoyable lives. Is that now something that should be looked down on?

I also know lots of other people that left their hometowns and are stupid, miserable son of bitches should I extrapolate that experience to all?

you're very fervent in your denial of supporting the man fond of sexual assault.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2016-10-13, 11:35

Okay. Guys seriously. You're talking about a NATIONAL poll. Not your individual buddies. There are always exceptions whenever you're lumping people in by whatever metric you lump them in together by.

But again, people with college degree by and large are more intelligent than those without. When looking at them as a group. That is neither snooty, nor is it looking down on anyone, nor is it arguable. It is just simply fact.

You're the only one ignorant enough to believe that. I know you want to focus on Trump rather than the felon you support.

I have a degree and I am not very smart. People love to jump to assumptions here and put words in other people's mouth.

by Triple Sparty 2016-10-13, 12:04

I'm not sure you're helping your cause Trav. This poll means nothing other than to divide people along there lines of us and them. And for millennials like otpt (no offense) to use to pat himself on the back for getting a college degree.

Shocking.

Bruh - I have a psychology degree. I do not pat myself on the back and fucking hate these loans I'm paying back. I went to college for many other things that are not on that piece of paper.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2016-10-13, 12:13

I can't say that I learned anything in college that makes me smarter..

of course, I didn't give the universities I have attended much to work with.

Keep telling yourself that, I'm sure you believe it and some of the weak minded here will too. I'm not angry at all, I'm just explaining clearly what an ass you are. That's harsh truth not anger.
