I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. Having grown up in a small town, I can tell you the difference between my classmates who went to college and those who didn’t is night and day. I’m not talking “intelligence” I’m talking world view. The folks who never left home just don’t seem to care what’s happening outside of their bubble. Massacre in Uganda? Meh, I’ve got bowling tonight. Assassination in Iran? We need to get the kids to basketball. Global warming? I still have snow to take the sled out.
I’m not sure you can quantify that the way you want to. People voted for trump because he said what they wanted to hear and they didn’t care About the details because they’ve never had to apply critical thinking at that level. That’s not a good thing...
