"Highly educated adults – particularly those who have attended graduate school – are far more likely than those with less education to take predominantly liberal positions across a range of political values. And these differences have increased over the past two decades.
More than half of those with postgraduate experience (54%) have either consistently liberal political values (31%) or mostly liberal values (23%), based on an analysis of their opinions about the role and performance of government, social issues, the environment and other topics. Fewer than half as many postgrads – roughly 12% of the public in 2015– have either consistently conservative (10%) or mostly conservative (14%) values. About one-in-five (22%) express a mix of liberal and conservative opinions."
If companies in Republican states didn’t attract tons of out of state workers, the companies would have to leave. The GOP has killed their supporters’ prospects of jobs when you increasingly need more education and training in today’s world.
And Republicans aren’t even satisfied with that. Their abortion bans and attacks on LGBT people are making workers reticent to hire onto companies that want them to work in red states.
Can we talk about how most of them are arguing against education??
It’s active hostility to higher education from those on the right, because once you’re college educated, you tend to be more left leaning.
