Pew: White, Educated Liberals Most Intolerant Population in 2016

No surprises, there!

A new Pew Research poll has confirmed what many of us already knew: white liberals are some of the most intolerant people on the planet.

The polling outfit’s latest research indicates that 58% of Hillary Clinton backers say they have a “hard time” respecting someone who supports Donald Trump for president, with 40% having “no trouble” with the idea. It’s worse among highly educated people, at 66%, and even more so if they’re white, 68%. Minority supporters of Clinton are far more tolerant of their Trump counterparts.

As for Trump voters, “there is little difference in these views between men and women or by education level,” Pew states. “About four-in-ten Trump supporters in each of these groups say they have a hard time respecting someone who supports Clinton.”

The only difference for Trump voters is by age. That is, 45% of older Trump voters were more likely to have a hard time with respect for a Clinton voter while just 29% of younger Trump supporters do.

The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
