In a shift from a mere couple of years ago, when a majority of Republican-Americans thought that higher education was a good thing, the majority of them now believe the opposite.

A Pew Research Center survey published Monday revealed voters have grown apart in their support of secondary education since the 2016 presidential election season, when a majority of Democratic and Republican Americans agreed the nation’s universities serve as a benefit for the U.S. Whereas 54 percent of Republicans said "colleges and universities had a positive impact on the way things were going in the country" in 2015, the majority now believe the opposite, with 58 percent saying such institutions negatively impact the state of the union.

    That's not a con, it's just reality.

    The reality is that you still continue to be blind and driven in your "thinking" process.

    E.g. "One group supports education" - really? Really, really?
    You mean, the other side have not a shadow of a point when saying your education is bullshit and you should be able to do better?
    Even when the reality shows you other countries are doing much better in regards with education, in both results and costs to achieve them?

    Or maybe that side which "support education" is actually peddling money into the hands of campus administrators, to build sport facilities and continue to pay the professors a pittance. All from the pocket of your next generations.
