Does it surprise anyone that most of the least educated states in US are the Red states. Why?

To be fair, the Left had a moment a few years ago where they were going nuts, and the Right is having a moment currently. CTOkie is probably just eluding to the notion both sides need to sift out the loonies and recenter more towards the middle. the Right can probably wrap their heads around a lot of stuff the left is doing if they drop the insane stuff like gender reassignment surgery for kids, and the left can probably wrap their head around a lot of what the right is doing if they drop the insane stuff like Trump/January6 support and the absolute refusal to even talk about anything related to gun control

A New Jersey high school teacher of mine told our class in 1967, in so many words, that the country is becoming less and less about having the ability for moderate thinking.
This was at a time of political assassinations, racial unrest and violent protests over an illegal, undeclared Vietnam war. All of which were tearing this country apart.
56 years later, this teacher's words ring truer than ever.... as our political "leaders" and our media serve to divide us even more across racial, gender, regional, political and religious lines.
To demonize one side while praising the other side is stupid, when neither side offers anything to unite or serve us.
Our choices nowadays seem to be based upon voting for "the lesser of two evils". Is this what voting should be about?

Well spoken. Our strength is in denying the bs and continuing to try to find middle ground despite our leaders trying to profit/progress off our division
