Liberals think they’re more intelligent than conservatives because they are.
Liberalism can be defined as the willingness to contribute large amounts of private resources for the welfare of genetically unrelated others.
Research shows that more intelligent children in the US and UK are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children.
Studies show the effect of childhood intelligence on adult political ideology is twice as large as the effect of either sex or race.

LOL, Yes they are extremely willing to contribute large amounts of private resources as long as it's someone else's money.
I call it “too smart by half”.
“Liberalism can be defined as the willingness to contribute large amounts of private resources for the welfare of genetically unrelated others.”
sigh ... give me a break ... that’s NOT the definition of liberalism, that’s the definition of socialism ...
Grok 3 defines liberalism as follows:
“Liberalism is a political and philosophical ideology centered on individual liberty, equality, and the protection of personal rights. It emphasizes free markets, limited government intervention, democratic institutions, and the rule of law. Classical liberalism prioritizes individual freedoms and economic liberty, while modern liberalism often includes support for social equality, welfare programs, and progressive reforms. The term can vary in meaning depending on context, historical period, or region.”

five.
That implies a willingness to have forced generosity, not necessarily higher intelligence.

Uh, no. Better:
Liberalism can be defined as the willingness to contribute large amounts of somebody else’s resources for the welfare of genetically unrelated others.
Example: Bernie Sanders needs only one house. But he has three. He will not give up his wealth. But he wants you to give up yours.
They're turning off working class voters including the Minorities.
The Democrats are becoming a party of "Coastal Elites".
They contribute the resources of OTHER PEOPLE.
“If someone has to continually remind you how intelligent they are...they aren’t.”
that’s absolutely correct ... just like the fools that just LOVE to remind everyone all the time that they’re in MENSA, because that PROVES how smart they are ... the REALLY smart people i’ve known in my life NEVER have the need to broadcast how smart they are ... most are usually the quietest folks in the room ...

“Liberalism can be defined as the willingness to contribute large amounts of [other people’s money] for the welfare of genetically unrelated others.”
There, fixed it.
Good post—that matches my real world experience.
Leftists are highly emotional and cult like in their beliefs.
They also have no problem censoring, canceling, doxxing those who disagree with them.
Psycho babble. They call it psychology for a reason, it is the logic of the psycho’s.
Romans 1:22
professing themselves to be wise they became fools
There are kernels of truth in the piece. It is generally true that liberalism is more prevalent among high IQ groups. But how much of that is simply due to a self-replicating culture that has developed over the last century or so? To imagine a simple example of this, imagine 100 years ago, the high-IQ boy from a conservative farm family goes off to Harvard... where he finds himself drenched in liberalism and adopts the ethos of his peers... he raises haute-bourgeois liberal kids and the cycle continues.
But I ask, how intelligent is it to fail to recognize that in virtually every aspect of life — law enforcement, religion, sexual ethics, social-welfare programs, military preparedness, etc. — liberalism is a total failure?
