    Shit like this always gets posted. There’s not much meaningful connection between IQ and political views. Especially in a country like the US where both “sides” of the spectrum are just the same government with varying degrees of corporate cuckoldry

      The study is about views, not party affiliation. In US both parties are the same but their voters definitely are not equally conservative. Republican voters wanted their party to be more fascist for a long time (and Trump delivered), democratic voters want their party to be way more progressive than it actually is.
