The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

That might be one of the silliest rankings articles I've seen. In fact, I think I'd rank it #1.

If they want to call it a ranking of the states based upon the percentage of population that possesses a graduate or professional degree, fine. That's literally what that list is. But to call it a ranking of states from least educated to most educated is absurd.
 
What do most polls/surveys/research what have you base their assessments of education status on then?

Well, that's the thing, you can't really do a ranking of "most educated." It's not a measurable statistic. You can do a ranking on highest percentage of high school graduates, or highest percentage of the population with a professional degree, or something like that. But categories like "most educated" and "least educated" are just clickbait attractions for people who, frankly, probably aren't that educated.
 
Advanced degree % likely would include people moving there after graduation for work. For instance DC is at 37% per this Wiki.

You can also sort by % with at least a HS education and a bachelor's.

Soooo, Trump supporters.
 
It makes sense. Conservatism is a citadel for the least capable, most cowardly portion of the population. In the US it is intertwined with religious literalism, the most naive and adolescent form of religion -- merely superstition. Finally, the thralldom of the red states to regressive politics means the least reach of education and science into the population.

The stifling effects of the Right are mutually reinforcing and push their societies backwards. The Right in the US is simply the Iranian ayatollahs, but fatter.

We need to take the state leg. AZ is only going to get larger (sorry, water hoarders) and we need it to be as dependably blue as CO.

We don't need TX or FL to turn the Nazi tide back without a shot fired. AZ, VA, and GA becoming dependably blue dooms the GOP. Making NC and NV more blue wouldn't hurt either.

There's a point where we can make the EC and Senate work for us, and reduce all the hayseeds in blue states to zero influence. One big blue city in every small flyover state could turn the entire map blue, and turn the fight into suburban Liberals vs urban Leftists.

People who move to a desert and then get mad about everyone else not giving them water are basically republicans!

kind of like shutting yourself off the national grid and then getting upset when a storm knocks out your power
