Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

Engineering, software engineering and management generally require intelligence and critical thinking.

MAGA entirely lack that

Nah, smart people can be idiots. Ted Cruz graduated from Princeton and Harvard Law. Ben Carson used to be a world class neurosurgeon. Rand Paul is technically still a doctor. All three colossal morons as well.

I know software engineers who are Republicans, and even some who voted for Trump.

I know Trump isn't popular, but there's no need to be so condescending.

Calling your political opponents so unintelligent that they can't even hold certain occupations is incredibly snobby and rude. It makes you look very immature.

So they still support trump to this day?

There's a few engineers at my work that voted for and still support Trump

I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences

I'm sorry that you're so blinded by political hatred.

Sometimes people think differently than you do, and that's okay: it's a part of life. Most people understand and accept this, but some don't.

I'm able to get along with people I disagree with politically because I respect their right to make choices, and I don't center my entire identity and life around political ideology. There's much more to a person than that.
