Said trump won because the "poorly educated" got out and voted.

poorly educated... think what that word means for a moment. now think of the definition for indoctrination:
in·doc·tri·na·tion
/inˌdäktrəˈnāSHən/

noun

  1. the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.
    "I would never subject children to religious indoctrination"
    • ARCHAIC
      teaching; instruction.


Thankfully we have not all been indoctrinated yet. Some of us can and still do think for ourselves.

...


It can't be both ways.   You either accept a belief uncritically, meaning you just accept it and put no thought into it or you think for yourself.

You have to pick a side even though I know being on both sides helps cover your ass.
