The picture some analysts paint of those who have followed Trump ardently for the last decade or so, is of hardworking, conservative people, mostly rural, who do not like the educated elite. They point out that college- educated people are everywhere, taking all the jobs, including the army and the police, everything.
Well, this is true. Businesses tend to hire college graduates, just to filter down their applications. Then again, everything is getting more digital: even talking to your doctor goes through a computer, so having a college man or woman dealing with phone calls sort of makes a tiny bit of sense.
Non college citizens are naturally resentful that they can hardly do anything easily, unlike in years gone by, and it looks like a plot just to make life harder for Trump followers.
What's going to happen? Are businesses going to stop investing in computer solutions to everything, just to make Trumpies happy? I don't think so. Many business owners are Trump conservatives, but they're not going to give up on the advantages of advanced technology. And they're going to need techies to work the systems for them. They might not be college- educated techies, though; they may have gone to 2- year colleges, where they can pick up the basics of what they need, to run the software and the hardware. (Unfortunately, half- baked techies can really screw up big time.)
The population of anti- tech luddites has sort of leveled, but for some obscure reason, some immigrants and Latinos are joining their ranks, and we can only guess why. (Perhaps they feel that the little education they have can go a long way with those who have no education at all.)
