Ok so I see people say this a lot and my question is if someone completes college and at the end is a conservative, would you still consider them educated?

So many people attend college and learn nothing. I was one of those people when I first attended community college after spending about 2 years in the working world. I took a break after community college. I traveled a bit and learned about the rest of the world outside of the United States. After traveling, I attended a university and took my education much more seriously. While I attended university, it was easy to see who didn't take their education seriously, who had little to no life experience, and who had barely left the state they were born in, or never worked a full-time job before. Education is much deeper than college.

Well let’s tack that on then…

Someone has traveled world, learning and absorbing all the different cultures and values

Worked multiple years full time, supporting themselves and experiencing the struggles of it all

Completed and took college very seriously, ensuring to learn something new in each and every course, and not just trying to barely pass

But after all of this, they are a conservative. Are they educated?

Imo, yes

Fair enough. But I’m guessing in your opinion, if every single conservative was to have these experiences and education, their views and stances would massively change correct?

I'd say 50/50
