Holy crap. If a study doesn't prove a group is out of touch more than this article, I don't know what else does. It seems the Dems make up the ends of the bell curve and the Republicans make up the middle "normal" part of society in relation to wealth.

The Democratic-controlled House is now an unusual combination of the richest and poorest districts, the best and least educated, and the best and the worst insured. The analysis found that Democrats have attracted educated, affluent whites who had tended previously to vote Republican.
Okay, maybe a little stretch on condemnation, but interesting nonetheless.

Maybe I missed it, but I never saw "middle "normal" part of society" anywhere in the article. Besides, they are only talking about the 10% on either end. Outliers, maybe, but a majority is still a morjority.

Of course not. They are my emphasis. Just pointing out the obvious to the untrained eye.

Don't you see, Seattle. People that have Ph.ds are so much more enlightened and wise than us folks with humble bachelor degrees. I mean, none of us have ever studied advanced multicultural rain forest social justice white male oppression social theory and written dissertations on them.

Dems always say the Republicans get the uneducated vote. This study says differently.
