Are people really surprised that populist voters are uneducated? 

These are the sort that claim to cherish meritocracy, the same people who expect us to believe they are champions of "competition". Of course when stripped of the historical advantages they've enjoyed, all of a sudden they don't like the idea of a global economy.

Quite amusing to watch the hyper-competitive crumble.

And to think these are the same sort of people who would whine about the entitlements they presume their neighbors demand.
