SOME WOULD SAY ITS RACE...THE NEED NOT TO BE IN THE SAME PARTY AS BLACK PEOPLE...ESPECIALLY IN THE DIXIE SOUTH...
BUT IT COULD ALSO BE INTELLIGENCE... PROGRESSIVES AND DEMOCRATS...TEND TO BE BETTER EDUCATED...AND NOT RELIGIOUS.
THESE ARE THE SO CALLED "COLLEGE TOWNS" LIBERALS SO HATED IN RIGHT WING RHETORIC...
PERHAPS UNEDUCATED WHITE PEOPLE RESENT THE PRESENCE OF A "KNOW IT ALL" ...MORE THAN THEY DO A BLACK PERSON...
AMERICA'S ANTI-INTELLECTUAL TRADITION GOES BACK MANY DECADES...TO THE FOUNDING EVEN...ALTHOUGH THE FOUNDERS WERE ALL WELL EDUCATED MEN...BUT EVEN THEN...IN THE VILLAGES AND TOWNS THERE WAS A STRONG DISLIKE FOR THE "EDUCATED CLASS"...
PERHAPS IT REMINDED AMERICANS OF THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY WHICH THEY HAD JUST THROWN OFF...
IT IS CURIOUS...THAT REPUBLICANS..PARTY OF THE WEALTHY AND ELITE...ARE ALSO THE PARTY OF THE UNEDUCATED IN POOR RED "FLY OVER" STATES...
FUTURE HISTORIANS WILL HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS ISSUE...!
AS WE PROGRESSIVES DO NOW...!!
