Noble blue collar workers become ignorant uneducated deplorables when they no longer vote for Democrats.

It’s not hard to see how this works.

The most ridiculous part is that they call Trump supporters “uneducated” while their own most reliable base is semi-literate, unemployable ghetto folk.

No matter what educational credentials one has, the left considers you “uneducated” or “ignorant” if you disagree with them.

There’s some of that on the right, as well. For example, the other day, a poster on a devotional thread sneered at a caricature of Christianity - “the son of God riding on a camel” - because “I have a brain.”

Unindoctrinated is a the appropriate word.

The left loves swanning about with their phony, hollow credentials. And, while they are provably unable to make anything work, they sneeringly look down their noses at those who actually build the world.

I was always taught the proper insult is ill educated. Kind of like saying unorganized is incorrect and disorganized is correct.

I thought it was "unsophisticated".

The Leftist neanderthals care about nothing as much as appearances, and they would rather die than be considered unsophisticated by their fellow Leftists unsophisticates.

I have dealt with--and so have you--many ignorant, uneducated, pretentious, stupid, unsophisticated Leftist slobs who mistook decadence for sophistication and emetically congratulated themselves endlessly.

"Uneducated" is at least down in fourth place as their favorite pejorative—after "nazi," "fascist" and "racist."

The term perfectly encapsulates the idea that those who are "uneducated" are in fact "stupid" or "dumb" without actually saying that. It is a brilliantly smug and indirect tactic to demean one's intelligence, and consequently, whatever opinion their opposition happens to hold.

This is why you always hear terms like "whites with a high school education or less" in media discussions about voter demographic groups, but you almost NEVER (if ever) hear education references to racial/ethnic minority groups.

I would like to point out that the “EDUCATED” class exists only because of the “UNEDUCATED” world. By that I mean their very lives depend on the ABILIty of the so-called “Know Nothings”.
When the power is out and the temp is below ZERO, it is only the skill and courage of a degree lacking lineman who will restore the electricity that warms you, cooks your food, and contacts you with the outside world.
It is the “uneducated” mechanic who tweaks the final adjustment on the jet engine and whose skill allows you to survive that flight to (wherever).
The World of Knowledge is able to exist ONLY because of the hard work and ABILITY of the people they look down on.

Liberals calling others uneducated is pure projection. Liberalism is a mental disease.

They mean “unindoctrinated”. But they haven’t redefined that word yet (like they have with racism, sexism, etc) so it isn’t acceptable to use it.

They claim schools are for education and those who didn’t “learn” what we were supposed to are “uneducated” even if we finished a high level of “reading, writing, and arithmetic” and what used to be considered a high level in “civics, government, history, literature, etc”.

Somehow, being labeled “uneducated” by the DELUSIONAL, strikes me as funnier than hell......

It burns them up that an “uneducated” vote counts as much as their “educated” vote.

Yes, we saw from 1989 to 2016 what a succession of educated liberals wrought.

Dennis Prager says this every day, that being college educated for most young people means, apart from a few majors, the exact opposite of what it used to mean: intelligent independent thinkers. Now it means indoctrinated social justice warrior leftists.

When are parents going to stop paying their life savings to have this done to perfectly good children?
