    Derek Thompson Retweeted a left-leaning but high-quality polling outlet

    This is brilliant. Expanding on @mattyglesias, I would guess that modern art appreciation correlates with college education and Big Five "openness"—which are proxies for being an urban resident. And every city hates Trump. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/09/brief-history-how-democrats-conquered-city/597955/ …https://twitter.com/SeanMcElwee/status/1173636054395604994 …

    I randomly threw a modern art picture on one of our surveys and asked people whether they thought it was art. It predicted Trump approval better than college education. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/9/16/20856316/poll-yougov-painting-ideology-trump …

        As someone with ~0 appreciation of modern art, I don't know what to make of this

        ha well it's not about liking it, it's about perceiving the thing as art the fact that you would have an opinion about modern art is the key factor

        the choice of a work in crayon might be slightly flawed, as it triggers the "my kid could do that art" (still "art) versus the intended question of "is this abstract mess an artwork?"

        It’s not enough to live in a top 3 metro with a post-grad degree - you should also drink cold brew just to be on the safe side

        It looks like something a 1st grader colored. It isn’t art.
