read henry mj tonks article on “the new liberal.” he talks about how dems harnessed a new electorate in the 70s dubbed the educated elite which drastically transformed their voting bloc. i’m also happy to refer you to the plethora of articles and scholarship out there that talks about why academia is so liberal. it’s not bc you’re “smarter” but whatever helps you sleep at night ig
It’s an interesting phenomenon and it’s true from a certain point of view. Basically most Republicans are on both ends of the iq curve. So many of us are dumb, but at least the dumb ones are smart enough to adhere to what actual intelligent Republicans adhere to. Democrats are just mid all along. Just like their ideology mid and stale.
it’s not propaganda or misinformation, it’s multiple scientific studies that track political ideology throughout life and its correlation to iq, they’ve even been able to identify what specific thought processes that are lacking in low iq people that conservative parties exploit. Thinking science is an opinion is braindead.
I’m going to treat this as an actual good faith argument. There’s several things wrong with this statement, the first being that you assume that iq is the determining factor, gender is a higher determinant of political leaning than iq, and if you know anything about feminist history that should be a surprise. When you look at studies that look at multiple factors and eliminate other vectors, looking solely at iq and leaning, iq is the causal factor. —-
Trump gained popularity because he exposes the media for what it really was. So the media tried to survive by attacking Trump and brainwashing as many people before their empire crumbled. Trump is one of the biggest factors why mainstream media isn’t mainstream anymore. And that’s what made him popular.
no people change their vote every two years, and even then that’s a small percentage of the population. ideology is more ingrained. It would have been more correct for me to say “conservatives are low iq”, as the traits of conservatism are closely associated with low iq individuals. You also didn’t actually address any of the actual arguments i made, like the fact that political leaning among women support me and not you.
I’m not addressing your arguments because they are based upon outdated studies. So even though I didn’t disprove your sub arguments I already disproved your core assumption those arguments are based on. And use any fancy word you want. Changed votes opinions beliefs intelligence. People change over two years. This changes what the iq of republicans or democrats is. Sometimes it’s higher with democrats sometimes republicans. There isn’t a way to tell, only estimate. Using gender is just a way to.
but you’re fundamentally incorrect. People do not change their political ideology every 2 years. You can vote for biden but still be intrinsicallyconservative. That is a fact it’s not semantics. Academic studies are valid for at minimum 5 years, and i can direct you to one from 2024. so your entire “debunk” is just literally incorrect.
i’ve made it clear since my first response that i was talking about republicans and cleared up my misstatement. But let’s be honest, im not wrong. Even if you think people change their votes every two years that is factually incorrect only around 10% of the population swings that heavily the majority of conservatives vote Republican, so my statement is still factually, correct. And you are factually incorrect goddamn
Idk what you’re even saying anymore. Now you’re just making up what you were talking about or what you meant or what you already agreed or disagreed on. You have no consistency. This is the issue with Democrats in general. No consistency other than acting selfishly performative to be correct. Stand for something you actually believe in instead of standing for what makes you feel good.
genuinely what the fuck are you talking about? My argument has been consistent the entire time. I incorrectly stated Republicans when I should’ve said conservatives I acknowledged my mistake and I have not made it again. You’re trying to say the entire argument is invalid because of it that’s not how logic works. Your gotcha moment does not undo the reality that conservatives generally speaking our lower IQ than people who lean left. My argument has been the same the entire time. l
I fucking hate how hard you Republicans project like you stand for something you like every other Republican gets owned by actual facts, debunked and disproven, and then you try to run on some weird incorrect high ground. And let’s not forget you didn’t even try to argue the differentiator between Republicans versus conservatives. You just tried to argue with women on the higher end are stupider than men and thus conservatives must be higher IQ.
no stand on something for once in ur life and quit projecting or concede that your wrong, and concede that high iq individuals are liberal, and you as a republican, are clearly not an exception to that FACT. facts dont care about ur feelings until they hurt yours huh.
all the republican chuds have taken this as a defense ever since the data came out that proves conservatives are low iq. another guy I saw called women “midwitts” they all think that they’re the super high IQ geniuses despite not understanding the difference between causation and correlation
Dude I don’t give af about you or what you’re wrong about. I told you you’re the most annoying person here. I literally read your op and the 1st thing you said to me now go away. I don’t want to talk to you. You’re a loser complaining about politics on the internet ina form you don’t belong in. you’re a loser
