MNRF cuts.

I never mentioned wisdom, how do you judge that? You prove my point, by pointing out the exceptions to the stats. If they were not exceptions you would not be mentioning them. You say they are 'foolish', by what standard and who's?

People in the US had had enough of double talking, elitist, democrats like HRC, who alienated an entire demographic, calling them "a basket of deplorables".

The rust belt, and much of the center US, saw jobs leave in droves under Obama, and little recovery. HRC came in and basically said "we're staying the course"....so Trump was in.

Incidentally, he's attempting to deliver on what he promised, by minimizing US jobs being globalized, and minimizing China's influence on the US market.....so there are a lot of "deplorables" who will continue to vote against the Dems.

Be quite careful how dismissive you are in asserting that people with Conservative values are ignorant, or unenlightened. Many Conservative voters came to be that way by having the benefit of 30+ years of watching economies ebb and flow. Idealism is great, but knowing that the piper has to be paid at the end of the tune is a fact that many on the left seem to forget. Of course it's no wonder why.....consumer debt is at an all time high, and no one seems to be scared....

I'd suggest that some of you would benefit from watching The Sting. The best part of a hustle is that the hustled doesn't know they've been hustled.

So a definition

It's being aware of something, and having information. Knowledge is really about facts and ideas that we acquire through study, research, investigation, observation, or experience. Wisdom is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your life.

Then someone forgot to tell most teachers and professors. These days, it's indoctrinate....here's the text, memorize and regurgitate to prove you know and more importantly "accept", that which is being taught.

The idea of critical thinking and open and factual debate has passed....sadly.

Does that mean I'm a scientist? ( only a few will catch my meaning? )

Some of the states that voted for Trump are the least educated and the poorest. Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama all voted for Trump but have the least population. Also, many of the richest States with the most population voted for Trump

It's important to note that the 35K votes that went to HRC,but,she still lost were in those states,too,because they weren't enough to sway the Electoral College votes. Just sayin' to our elitist Liberals on this forum.

So let’s agrree the uneducated ( why so so many equate education with intelligence? ) and the poor voted for Trump.

Does that not suggest that the very demographic the left claims to care about and champion are right pissed off...........

Wouldn’t an educated, supposedly smart and wise person be capable of figuring out what that suggest?
