Why Liberals Are More Intelligent Than Conservatives

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.

Research shows that more intelligent children in the US and UK are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children.

This is because their intelligent parents, from whence the children get their intelligence, made a lot of money and spoiled their offspring rotten. They put them in an environment where spoiled rotten little rich kids was the norm, and people didn't have to face any serious consequences for their actions.

This polluted the mind of these intelligent children into believing all the crap the surrounding environment was teaching them.

Had they been born poor, they would have had to actually use their intelligence to work a way out of poverty, and they would absolutely be conservative.

Bottom line. Wealth makes the children stupid, and they turn to liberalism, because it is the most stupid, childish ideology you can have, and it only occurs as a result of being protected from the real world.

Regarding the claim that liberals control institutions such as the media, academia, and show business due to their intelligence, this could be dismissed as a collectivist generalization. Intelligence is an attribute of individuals, not groups, and that attributing institutional control to an entire group based on perceived average intelligence undermines the principle of individualism.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

From Rush Limbaugh and The Undeniable Truths Of Life

#29: Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it.

#23: The only way liberals win national elections is by pretending they’re not liberals

[JWNM]

The fact that those “highly intelligent and educated” liberals so easily dismiss hundreds of years of scientific research and biological facts to support the trans political agenda tells us all we need to know.

[Political Junkie Too]

What articles like this never explain is why these supposedly more intelligent people who are in positions of power in government repeatedly screw things up on such grand scales.

More intelligent? No.

More prone to pretense and gullibility - yes.

“Liberalism can be defined as the willingness to contribute large amounts of private resources for the welfare of genetically unrelated others.“ Especially if those private resources belong to someone else 😅

[antidemoncrat]

I wonder how many Liberals will be brainwashed into this line of thinking? Let’s look at a real genius ... Elon Musk. once a die hard Liberal, now a Conservative. Is it politics that reveals a person’s intelligence or is it a matter of their inner beliefs that determines their politics?

Liberalism can be defined as the willingness to contribute large amounts of private resources for the welfare of genetically unrelated others.

Really? Well conservatives contribute much, much more of not only their money, but also their time, to helping those in need.

From Wikipedia: “Critics have described his claims as pseudoscientific and racist.”

[Gaffer]

Liberalism is that mental defect which tells the one affected with it that it is okay to abuse, censor, and/or harm others and deny them their Constitutional Rights IF it makes them feel better (i.e., superior/elite).

The bottom line is that if a liberal can’t get what they want or make their opponents concede, they’d just as soon kneel them down along side a ditch and blow their brains out. They actually are the real Nazis, here.

[Rlsau1]

Liberals, deep down, have real self esteem/self worth problems. Even though it often appears they are promoting the “we’re more intelligent than everyone else” meme for public consumption, what they’re really doing is performing an exercise in self aggrandizement. If you think about it it’s really a necessary emotional support system since they are basically outpatients from the Institute for the Terminally Wrong. The reality is just about everything they promote, support, and defend has never and will never work. It’s a form of self defense, and an indication of mental illness.

[popdonnelly]

If they’re so smart, why do they continually do dumb things.

[hoagy62]

Here's a corrected version:

Liberalism is a political and philosophical ideology centered on liberty collective groupthink, forced equality, and the protection of personal indecent and ungodly sexual rights.

They [Liberals] are not more intelligent than Conservatives. But the gap is closing fast.

[Chickensoup]

This is old, there is other newer information that disputes this outcome.
