It is almost a truism among psychological researchers that conservatives are simple-minded and dogmatic. Liberals, meanwhile, are supposed to be more complex and open-minded thinkers. But a new paper is calling those conclusions into question.
A truism formulated by liberal psychological researchers, no doubt.
Conway and his colleagues conclude, "It may be that liberals are, as many have claimed...pulled towards complexity more than conservatives..."
LOL. In other words, liberals like to complicate and muck up the simplest of things, which is no surprise.

Conway and his colleagues conclude, "It may be that liberals are, as many have claimed ... pulled towards complexity more than conservatives ...," but there's no real evidence of that.
Unless you consider that rejecting facts and evidence because you deeply feeeeeel that the opposite must be correct is evidence of "intellectual complexity."
