I would be curious if it’s the educational component or the money component that influences people to be right or left leaning.

Yes more people who have second education degrees lean blue, but how many of them are arts degrees and whatnot where they never got to work in their field and are wage slave baristas at Starbucks or whatever.

Meanwhile a lot of people who never went to college went to trade school and are making bank, but most lean towards Republicans.

There was one article I read where people tend to move from Democrat to Republican as they get older, since they eventually amass wealth and net worth and then all of a sudden have more to lose by taxes going up or other policies benefitting those with less then they have and they won’t benefit directly anymore.

I’m sure higher education has a role to play, especially down south where even grade school public education is abysmal and most lean to the right.

But money plays a big role too I imagine.
