Stupid, Racist, Republican

Huffington Post: Are racists dumb? Do conservatives tend to be less intelligent than liberals? A provocative new study from Brock University in Ontario suggests the answer to both questions may be a qualified yes.

The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood.

Study after study shows that the more educated people get the more they back progressive public policy. So it stands to reason people who are just plain stupid would be more likely to be racist Republicans.

Progressive public policy has been proven to advance society and benefit the vast majority of people living in it. Smart people are able to recognize that, employ analytical skills, connect good policy to good results, and bad policy to bad results. Stupid people just believe the lies they get from the Fox News led right-wing disinformation machine.

    The proof of this is that MOST Republicans actually end up voting against their own self interest.
