You should know me better than that. I am not changing anything. You are misunderstanding what I am saying.

I am using NATO as an "example" of how education is shaping the world for a better place, and the fact there has never been a NATO in the last 12,000 years because humans were not educated enough to put something like that together.

Democracy is another social advancement that required a more educated populace. As is civil rights.

And I am NOT saying white women are less educated than women of color, that is YOUR conclusion, not mine, so don't put words in my mouth.

That is not polite.

What I said is that many of the white women are racist, or Republicans, so naturally they would vote for Trump.

Although I will say, I was disappointed in the female vote.

PEW:" In 2022, voters with a college degree or more education favored Democratic candidates while those with no college degree preferred Republicans – continuing a long-standing trend in polarization among American voters by education.

In 2018, men were roughly evenly divided between Democratic and Republican candidates. In the 2022 midterms, 54% of men cast ballots for GOP candidates, while 44% preferred Democrats. Republicans also gained support from a higher share of women compared with previous elections: 48% of women voters cast ballots for GOP candidates in 2022 while 51% favored Democrats. In 2018, 40% voted for Republicans while 58% supported Democrats. These shifts in margins largely reflect differential turnout, rather than shifting preferences.

My comments are not about NATO. You are the one who switched away from the world being enlightened because of education - to the issue of NATO. NATO is a good thing and I certainly never suggested otherwise. You're becoming more slippery than the most slippery republican.

Now I read your comments to suggest that white women are less educated than colored women.
