In Trumpworld, its OK to be ignorant

That divide is not between liberals and conservatives. Rather, it is between the ignorant and the informed, between those who have information and can extrapolate from it and those who do not and cannot. There is an education gap between left and right, and it poses a grave threat to our national future.

I know of well educated people who are trumpsters. I know of many non degreed, but self educated people , who are informed and strongly oppose him. I know of many informed people, educated or not, who just lack empathy for someone outside their family, and they think he is great.
