An old expression "you gotta dance with the one who brung you" is relevant

GM and their workers were saved by Obama, one of the first things he did when he took office.
The GM workers then turned their backs on Democrats for promises from a know liar and cheat.
Just desserts me thinks

And further more, blame it on repugs' continual under funding of education. Those union repug voters would never vote for republicans if they knew anything about the union movement's history, Harry Bennett for instance.

not only are not college level thinkers, but some who are have no real interest in learning and knowledge. Many are happy with and well suited to small worlds within which they grew up and want to live their lives. I've known many decent people who fit that description, it's how I learned about them. Turns out they make great victims for right-wing victimizers.
