Republicans Don't Understand DemocratsAnd Democrats Don't Understand Republicans
Interesting article in the Atlantic:

I thought this was particularly interesting:
"Perhaps because institutions of higher learning tend to be dominated by liberals, Republicans who have gone to college are not more likely to caricature their ideological adversaries than those who dropped out of high school. But among Democrats, education seems to make the problem much worse. Democrats who have a high-school degree suffer from a greater perception gap than those who dont. Democrats who went to college harbor greater misunderstandings than those who didnt. And those with a postgrad degree have a way more skewed view of Republicans than anybody else."
