“Because you think you have an IQ worth calling yourself smart, while your family members supporting Biden are stupid.”
But they’re quite successful and have above average IQs, so supporting or not supporting Biden doesn’t correlate with IQ very much.
And you know very well that, sadly, there are plenty of high IQ very successful people who support the Rats policies. The majority of billionaire CEOs, college professors, students, etc.
And yes, I have some in my family and I in my mispent youth registered as Democrat.
An explanation for this is that there is a component other than IQ that determines your political leanings. You have high IQ and low IQ people throughout the political spectrum.
I think the component that determines your political leaning is more a function of how susceptible you are to emotional manipulation and being guilted.
Women and young people are particularly susceptible to it and thus vote democrat in large number.
What I find interesting and puzzling with all the libs I know is that in their private lives they generally are as conservative as I am. They work hard, teach their kids to be responsible, pay the bills, save, etc. You probably have noticed the same thing.
But when it comes to voting, the difference is like night and day. And I think it comes from I mentioned - that they’re much more susceptible to emotional manipulation - they fall for all the sob stories.
It’s what I call “pathological compassion”. The type that destroys the receiver, the giver and the broader society.

Success with money does not correlate to IQ.
