Well-educated people might seem more open-minded... until someone spouts nonsense. Nonsense includes pseudoscience, extremism, and empty slogans.
Well-educated people are likely to see such a slogan as "Make America Great Again" and ask "in what way?" Life would be easier in America if we still had 150 million people instead of 350 million... but I can't say that we did so well with that few people. Jim Crow, male chauvinism, heavier smoking, polio, neglect of the handicapped, and the Red Scare? Nope. I don't miss the Blood Alley intercity roads like much of old Route 66 west of Chicago and Deadly 20 east of Chicago and the vehicular deathtraps of the 1950's. Because travel was more difficult, Americans may have had more community. Maybe we can recover that if we are wise. All that was better was that real estate was cheaper.
