I got to believe that the lowest common denominator moved to the GOP. It is no longer a math principle but now it is a descriptor of the average GOP Trump supporting voter. The worse stereotype of an uneducated, lazy southern voter comes to mind. That is why Trump said he likes the poorly educated voters. Regarding Miss Three Names (good description BRB) From 2016 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-says-he-love_b_9330578 Quote Donald Trump has once again ignited a firestorm of criticism. Following his victory in Nevada, the Republican front-runner announced, "I love the poorly educated." Reaction against his comment was been vigorous and immediate, precipitating a backlash against those low-information voters whose ignorance has been presumed as a prerequisite for selecting a bombastic candidate like Trump. Quote On the surface, Trump's pronouncement seems to confirm the worst fears of his critics: of course he loves poorly educated voters! Why else would anyone support someone whose policy platform preys upon those driven by ideology, a platform that cannot withstand even minimal scrutiny? His campaign rests, after all, on a foundation of easily debunked ideas mobilized by Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, sexism, and an undeveloped understanding of basic political science. Yet actual studies of Trump voters do not support the thesis that his supporters are poorly educated at all. As Matthew MacWilliams explains in a recent Politico article, educational achievement is less of a predictor for Trump support than an inclination towards authoritarianism. Why, then, do Trump's comments about the poorly educated resound so strongly among his critics? Perhaps it is because attacking the poorly educated has become a kind of American sport. This is ironic. The same nation in which K-12 educational outcomes are shaped by economic inequality, in which the "school-to-prison pipeline" has become a familiar shorthand for the effects of racism, and in which the children of undocumented immigrants pay higher tuition in states where they have lived their entire lives, seems to take a particular pleasure in maligning those who cannot access a quality education. Rather than recognizing that the stark problem of educational inequality demands immediate solutions, many would rather shut its victims out of the conversation. Or worse, we mock them. We delight in viral videos of uninformed millennials unable to identify the Civil War, chuckle at misspelled signs at tea party rallies, smugly say "I told you so" when the leading candidate of the GOP dares to place "poorly educated" alongside "highly educated" voters. Rather than acknowledging that poorly educated voters are victims of a system that abandons them to low-wage jobs, limited access to quality healthcare, and high rates of unemployment, we treat them as the punchline to a joke.
