However, the "MAGA cult" is only a portion of the US political right.
Yes, and beyond the tiny microcosm of Boardhost, by every reasonably reliable polling indicator the hardcore MAGA segment (by which I mean those Americans more focused on support for Donald Trump than for the conservative side/GOP in general) are not a particularly well-educated demographic. Expand that to the whole of the US political right, however, and that gap lessens. But whether red-hat-wearing high school dropout or ivory-tower-dwelling PhD holder, each eligible Americans vote counts the same. While it can be tempting to wish that were not the case, that egalitarian principle is critical to the American system. Persons at those opposite ends still contribute to society, have the same rights under the law and the same responsibilities to that law. That they have an equal* say is a critical component of how democracy functions in our republic. FWIW, I say this as a fairly extreme outlier on one end of that education spectrum (and as someone whose positions are generally quite far left). * Well...Electoral-College-induced asymmetry aside...
