Illiterate Iowa Peasants Voted for Trump in Primary

Gap between educated Iowans and uneducated Iowans and how they voted in Iowa's republican primary:

The gap between those with college degrees and those without college degrees. It's already a big part of the gap between Democrats [generally educated voters] and Republicans [illiterate moron voters] these days in general elections, but it also exists even within the moronic backward Republican Party voters. 

Looking at the gap that developed last night in Iowa. Among Republican caucus-goers, those with college degrees have only a two-point gap between Trump and Haley voters.

But on the other side of this [those with no college degrees], Donald Trump gets 65 percent, or two-thirds of the illiterate peasant herd of pig farmers and corn growers.  The gap is obvious. The gap is clear. The gap is stark among voters without college degrees. Trump gobbling up 65 percent. 

Among college grads, Haley is only two points behind Trump. She therefore appeals to higher income, college-educated, suburbanites, city dwellers. While he, the moron, appeals to the uneducated, illiterate morons of the backboonies of America.

This is why in American democracy mediocrity rises to the top. There is mediocrity everywhere on earth, but in America there are no stopgaps that prevent morons like Trump from ascending to the highest office of the land. I wish American democracy would sustain, instead of kill, a bit of elitism that ensures that brain always wins over brawn. 

American education is a prototype: instead of catering to the smart with challenging programs, it caters to the lowest denominator by lowering the standards and graduating uneducated uncultured individuals. The system leaves it to colleges and universities to make up for the deficit in high school education. Which is why one needs 4 years in the US to get a Bachelor's degree, compared to 3 years throughout the rest of the world. The only reason America does not fall behind in science and technology is immigration: The immigrants, whose education by far suprasses the domestically-educated, are the ones who lead in American science and technology fields.

The following is a quote from a recent National Science Foundation report: [ https://www.nsf.gov/nsb/sei/one-pagers/Foreign-Born.pdf]

"The U.S. has long benefitted from the inflow of foreign-born scientists and engineers and the Science and Engineering (S&E) skills and knowledge they bring.... In 2017, half of the foreign-born individuals in the United States with an S&E highest degree were from Asia, with India (23%) and China (10%) as the leading countries of origin. For the foreign-born holders of S&E doctorates, however, China provided a higher proportion (24%) than India (15%). These patterns by source region and country for foreign-born S&E highest degree holders in the United States have been stable since at least 2003. In academia, just about half (49%) of U.S.-trained postdocs were born overseas, as are 29% of full-time S&E faculty. The share of foreign-born S&E workers has increased significantly in the last 25 years. In most S&E occupations, the higher the degree level, the greater the proportion of the workforce that is foreign-born. The percentages are highest for doctorates in engineering and math and computer sciences — about 6 out of 10."

Trump the moron says, however, that "immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country". So, go ahead you moron republican peasants of America: elect the supreme moron to the white house and Make America Stupid Again.
