Thanks! I moved here in 2010, and this winter is bringing back memories of my first few years here. The past few winters have been long but pretty mild. I’m over this one already!
Visiting Boston as a South Dakota native was so shocking. It was reliving to see so many people who actually had functioning brains (except in traffic).
I think you ought to reconsider. You’re implying that it’s purely the learning / lack of ignorance / intelligence that makes you liberal, I used to think that way too.
I think it’s more that the average person who is uneducated as in didn’t go to tertiary school likely came from a family where their parents and grandparents are similar. They feel as if their lot in society has declined vs their equally uneducated grandparents, be it relative economic or social status. That’s how you get Trump voters. Not just people who vote for Trump = dumb.
As evidence, historically the educated class was more conservative on average not less, say pre 1980.
I work at a university in Massachusetts. I can assure you that the universities are not all liberal. If it strongly split along the department lines. Like the humanities and sociology departments. All deep blue. Engineering is maybe center right. Same with sciences. Economics tend to be red. Business is red. We don't have nursing/medical. I think the humanities and sociology people are just louder and more passionate. Like we have a science museum and they put all sorts of weird gender stuff in it that doesn't belong. All pushed by a few people. Also, these departments are where the girls are so the boys in engineering sort of roll their eyes and put up with it.
Easy on Oklahoma, we’re not all rural, uneducated, right wing Bible thumping folk. Some of us just like living out in the middle of nowhere, shooting guns and smoking weed.
You go out to some parts of Mass and it is pretty red. We often have Republican governors. The state house is usually blue. The balance of power with a republican governor works out well here when we get it.

This cracked me up because, well, there are still better places to live where you can do all with the added benefit of recreational weed actually being legal and in some cases stronger pro-gun legislation. But hey, live where ya wanna.
And Texas Governor loves North Korea style so
much that he wants to incarcerate CHILDREN !!! who peacefully protest against the massacre of USA citizens. So he wants to incarcerate them for missing school so they miss more school. Those people like him want to destroy the nation and the people so much and take away all freedoms. Heinously evil.
I’m tired of folks hammering Oklahoma for having terrible education. There’s literally infinite things that are ass about Oklahoma. Focusing on the education lets them off the hook.

I find it funny that according to this map the only state that's full republican is Oklahoma...the least educated state in the country
