It is not the fault of various minority groups that the hot dog cookers or pizza throwers did not go to college and acquire useful job skills. But it is oh-so-much-easier to blame THE OTHER for their failings than to look in the mirror and call themselves a "schmuck."

Quote:In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980.
