Because accusing everyone who didn't vote for Hillary of being stupid wasn't part of the reason Trump won in he first place.

The liberal media have basically learned nothing and doubled down instead.

tbh, it's a long-running propaganda among leftists used to shame people into voting their way and it's lazy, kindergarten level stuff: "Only stupid people vote this way. You don't want to be stupid, do you?" Even overlooking that education and intelligence aren't the same thing, the influence of higher learning on political leaning is more of a cultural issue than anything else and, even then, the culture is largely contrived at the top where liberal professors are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions who, in turn, tenure track liberal professors.

Believe it or not, when going to school for programming, we didn't bring up politics a single time. In English class, someone brings up politics, and there isn't a single southern white guy in class that isn't laughing at how ridiculous Trump is. There are a couple southern white guys, and they're making fun of him.

This topic is hilarious though. "Librul brainwashing! Hillary Clinton! MSNBC!" And also some people understand how society works beyond their angry talk show radio hosts.

You mean liberal arts students are predominantly liberal? Who could believe that?! But sure, if you major in something useless and get stuck working at Subway, you tend to bring up politics a lot and strongly push for Democrats.

Generally speaking, the less impressive the student's major, the more likely they are to overtly take strong stances on politics (granted, many of the lowest-performers also go into public sector jobs so there's also a self-interest). The largest exception to the rule is science majors whose prospects rely heavily on government funding so you're going to want to push for the party more likely to shower you with money.
