The problem is their thinking. The assume a education means you are smart. It does not. It just means you have a education.
A person who is smart may learn something in half the time as another person. The person who learns it in half the time is the smarter person. It does not mean that person is not more intelligent if that person has half the education.
On the other hand if you have a bad education it does not make you smart. It just means you learned incorrect things.
This is what is wrong with the political ruling class. They assume that they are smarter than the voters when in fact they are not. They have a bad education. This is evident in the fact that they can not defend their position and must censor any opposing view.
Our political class thinks what they are doing is the best thing that can be done because they have a poor education. I had a lady calling me stupid because I said China flu. She called me racist because of that. I informed her that it was nationalistic because Asian was the race and not Chinese. She got all huffy and said she had a degree in racial studies.
Then I pointed out something she said was racist and she replied you can not be racist against whites. I showed here the definition of racism form the dictionary. But I could not tell her she was wrong because she had a masters degree.
The point is if you have a bad education you are not smart. And the crap you need to get a degree anymore is just not correct.
It is my opinion that our elected representatives are actually DUMBER than the rest of us. We are being ruled by our inferiors.
