Here’s the thing a lot of MAGA aren’t uneducated as in they aren’t lacking an education, they’re stupid, brainwashed, propagandized, cultish, and manipulated but not necessarily any more uneducated than your average progressive or lib. The problem with a lot of them is environmental, you can have the most well educated person but if they grew up in say Seventh Day Adventism then there’s a pretty good chance they’re borderline braindead outside of their specific field due to things like thought terminating cliches.
Conservatism at least in the US has all the hallmarks of a social cult, basically the insidious twin side of the coin a general social movement is part of. It’s reinforced through dozens of different vectors with possibly billions of dollars thrown into it just to maintain the damned thing.
Reminder a lot of fascists have been educated but they were still stupid due to the blind spots created by their ideology. Same exact thing as now.
