> Highly educated ≠ intelligent. I didn't necessarily intend to say that it was. I'm just saying that support for Trump has been inversely correlated with education level, so I ended up in a bubble by virtue of working alongside people with advanced degrees (even more so than just living in a blue area). When ~90% of people in one's real life, day-to-day social circle are not Trump supporters it starts to feel like everybody must be of the same opinion, and it's shocking to find out otherwise. I agree with you about the importance of engaging in independent, critical thought and allowing real discussion.
