Final graphic shows why the far-right hates education. I’m probably jumping to conclusions, but I wonder if their relatively low popularity among higher-educated voters is due to:
Voters being more aware of their history (a “… doomed to repeat it” sort of thing)
Better at spotting populist lies (I don’t know enough about German politics to know how populist the Left Party is)
Leading more comfortable lives, thus less inclined to reach for extremes.
It’s an undemocratic thought, but sometimes I wish there were some sort of aptitude test right before casting a vote. Or at the very least, a quick quiz to confirm you’re aware of the party’s key program points. Obviously, both options are ripe for abuse.
