College Towns

[RINO Tom]

Another point is to distinguish “college graduates” (a group that can BARELY said to be Democratic-leaning…) and college town residents.  The out-of-state kids I met at Iowa (specifically those from the Chicago suburbs) were WAY more Republican than the Iowa City kids who went to Iowa … and they split after graduation.  They should literally never be lumped in with “college town people” - a group that is liberal for far more reasons than ~being educated~.

This forum also never distinguishes what one is educated in.  I work in financial valuation consulting … while I’m sure it’s much more Democratic than 20 years ago, it’s hardly a “liberal field,” and yet you literally need a graduate degree to be promoted past a certain level.

Humanities tends to correlate with people who are more liberal. Psychology, anthropology, art, English language studies, journalism etc.
