There is a difference on average, but the difference is not profound and there are plenty of geniuses and idiots of all political persuasions. The elites are currently overwhelmingly left-wing, so many somewhat smart people recognize that adopting leftist political positions is a path to status and power and conform accordingly. If the left is ever dislodged from power, the right will quickly become more intelligent than the left on average.
Not at all true. It's actually the opposite. This is just typical democrat rhetoric.
That's certainly not been my experience. As a physics guy, what would you say to those Dems that say walls don't work? Nobody ever claimed that walls work 100%, but they sure as hell work. A child understands this.
i think the real problem nowadays is the dumb kids who spend so long in a classroom they have no practical knowledge, wisdom, or real life skills.
they spend all day TALKING about ideas... not implementing them. thus they become wildly out of touch
i fear the overeducated, not the undereducated
No I am saying that because I feell its not true. The party is run by extremely intelligent people. What they do with their knowledge and power never ceases to amaze me. There is a large swath of republicans that aren't very knowledgeable about politics and the facts. Its probably Tue of democrats as well
Not in the sense that it’s representative of any particular ideology appealing to lower intelligence; it actually comes from comparing iq on a state by state level, and red states, which may not have an ideologically driven population, tend to finish lower because they have a less educated population (which by the way is generally due to how schools are funded in the United States). Really has nothing to do with beliefs.
unfortunately. i could list studies, quotes and such--like a study showing Trump is a total idiot:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/CR62UYsyenoGenerally no but I think people who are dumb tend to shout the loudest and dumb people do tend to migrate to the political extremes.
Oh my god there is so much truth to this. I could not have said it myself. What's worse, is that those extremes on both sides are the ones that each side measures each other up to. So if you are a Republican, Democratic voters automatically assume you are an insurrectionist and racist. If you are Democrat, then Republican voters automatically assume that you are a rioter and hate America. The whole thing is completely silly which is why I personally swear no allegiance to any political parties.
The difference between UK politics here and USA politics is extremists here tend to drop off the edge and vote for minority parties. Their vote is wasted and the mainstream parties don't really want to be associated with these people. America seems to have forgotten the middle ground and only wants to appease the extremists
I think both parties need to sit down and figure out what the heck they want to do to make things for the American people
Not I have a 130I. Q and have a major in history and a double miner in Philosophy and political science plus studied the hardest language (for English speaker) and can get my self around ever well in Japan.
I’m pretty sure it’s not a stereotype and they’re actually studies about people with strict conservative/republican views having lower IQ’s and one of the reasons is due to republicans or conservatives living in areas where there is no proper education.
That's definitely true of trump supporters. Just one look at his most hard core cult members at the fbi website should give you a safe guess that fewer than 1% of those retards have a college degree. And I wonder how many even graduated high school.

Complete bullshit. That’s a false narrative spun by the far left. Filmguy93 hit the nail right on the head. Generally speaking, people raised in conservative towns very often don’t need a bachelors degree to be successful. More educated does not equate to more intelligent. True intelligence is not something that can be taught in a classroom.

its hilarious because somehow these low iq, uneducated folks ruled the world and controlled everything and owned everything, but idiotas on here will claim that they are stupid because they don't blindly follow climate politics or they don't think that a person with a penis is a real woman
I don't know. People try to portray all the Right as Qanon and Trumpster zealots. Just like the left has idiots like ANTIFA and BLM. You have stupid people on both sides, it is what it is.
The republicans made a deal in the 1980s. Finance capital + redneck bigot cult votes = power and money.
Formula worked up until the cult started demanding forced work in a pandemic and horse dewormer instead of 21st century vaccine science.
Democrats might have a chance if they didn’t spend the last 45 years trying to out republican republicans
Democrats and liberals are the ones with low IQs. How do you think we ended up with Biden as a president?
I’d have to say no.
First off, Trump voters made more money on average than Democrat voters in 2016 election. $72,000 to $53,000 for Clinton voters.
Many of us have college degrees too and we are well rounded in myriad subjects.
This is very complicated, beacuse its not just a right/left isssue. The religiosus rural right have a generally lower IQ, but the libertarians have a much higher IQ. It is shown that on avrage democrats and republicans have the same IQ. If you control for race and look at only white democrats and rebulicans. Democrats have the highest IQ
