How the fuck do you come to the conclusion that you're spending too much money on education
Educated people tend to lean liberal and conservatives hate open minded people.
It's this. People with good educations will figure out that the Republicans are lying to them to take advantage of them. Republicans don't want their pigeon/fools to think too hard about the lies they tell.
Look at Trump. Is he an obvious liar? Yes. But there are very "poorly educated" people who believe all the lies he says.
Right. We missed our chance when Hillary didn't get in. I can't see why people imply she's dishonest.
People in education tend to lean liberal. Conservatives don't hate people but they do realize there's such thing as being so open minded your brains spill out.
With Reagan, it was because Republicans at the time thought there would be too many educated poor people. One of his advisors (Roger Freeman) said:
“We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat…That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow [to go to college]…If not, we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people.”
He was basically worried about a revolution because of it.

There’s other sources if you don’t like the Intercept.
Easy
They are talking at the dinner table about doing things that are against my self interest. I don’t want those damn kids learning that. Therefore cut education
Rather that you know the market place of ideas that I espouse; as long as they match what I believe.
R E A G A N.
The Trump era began by ripping out the solar panels on the White House and tricking blue collars into voting against themselves.
It was, and is, fucking awful.
Just look at the GOP. They repeat garbage until their pawns believe it.
Well, you see, it was educate 10,000 people or build another fighter jet.
