Highly educated people tend to concentrate themselves though. It’s not just that highly educated/non highly educated people from the two locations have different views, there are far less highly educated people in my hometown, and the ones that do exist are irregular as a political group as they’re mostly Indian immigrant doctors.
It’s hard to compare the views of highly educated vs non-highly educated people only living in the same places, because they live in different places.
Also notably the people I went to high school with who had more right wing views then were also the ones far more likely to stay in that town and not go to college, vs the ones with more left wing views generally moved for college and never went back, because it’s a rotten conservative backwater and also because there just aren’t jobs for people with college degrees outside of education and healthcare.
