I mean, did the anti-America policies not do it first? The racism, the birtherism, the sexism, that didn't do it? 8 years of relentless GOP obstruction and sabotage of our very government wasn't a giant red flag? It was acceptable for these "college-educated" voters that the GOP wants to destroy the social safety net, institute regressive tax policies against the poor, and maintain white hegemony as long as possible? All of that didn't make them leave first?

There's a word for such people, but it's certainly not "educated."
