This will likely be a problem for the democratic base eventually. As Hispanics go conservative and less students go to college to be indoctrinated into liberal values the country will shift conservative. Democrats will need to find an alteration source of voters
- nkrisc 4y agoIf young people are going straight into the workforce as Uber drivers or Amazon warehouse workers, I think they’re going to find liberal values even faster.
- fallingknife 4y agoThe current trend is the opposite. Working class whites and Latinos are moving republican. The upper middle class is moving democrat.
- rfrey 4y agoIt's funny that you consider the biggest threat to "conservatism" is an educated population.
- shigawire 4y agoI'm not sure the educated vote Dems due to their education - they vote Dems because wealthy people vote Dem and college grads are wealthier.
- lapinot 4y agoThis may be true in the US but it's based on a false dichotomy. And i'm even convinced that any kind of factual reality it has in the US is because this false political dichotomy has been put into reality by bipartism. If you actually look precisely what's going on in the general political opinions in the west, you have wealthy people that want liberal economics (near the middle of the traditional division left/right), then you basically have two blocks of more precarious people that either are more socialist (skewed towards young and educated) or reactionary (skewed towards old and less educated). This is still very crude but at least it has 3 dimensions instead of two.
