Certain populations of the Right rely on their own emotional arguments almost exclusively, but they use fear instead of empathy.

Similar emotional-based thinking.

These behaviors are all mirrored.

It doesn’t matter how high a person’s IQ is if they make decisions based on their emotions like the left does.


Same applies to the right.

Just look at all the fear porn and fearcasting on this board. That's emotional, not rational.

Simple litmus test for intelligence:

Can boys become girls?

Anyone who answers "yes" is a drooling moron regardless of degrees/IQ test/accreditation , etc.

Anyone who answers "no" is intelligent.

1) I don’t have a link and I never claimed to have a link or data.

So why go with “What if I told you…”?

Now by claiming you don’t have a link, you’re admitting that you are just making up shite.

Social norms may be different now, but “What if I told you…” normally precedes something factual that can be supported with more than whimsy.

quote:

2) the majority of Democrats are on welfare or some form of government dependence because they lack basic skills to be successful in the US. Therefore, they have low IQ

You might have this one backwards. Try a majority of welfare recipients (not including social security) are democrats instead of majority of democrats are on welfare.
quote:

3) Can you explain why the overwhelming majority of post graduate degrees are awarded to Democrats? Why the majority of small businesses are owned by Republicans?

I’d say we can explain it with math. Older generations didn’t have as many post graduate options. There is a much smaller gap in political leanings among them, and there are fewer of them.

In the other end of the generation spectrum, younger generations tend to lean democrat. There are more of them, they tend to be in the college age group, and there are more post graduate degree options for them that are so much easier to obtain than what the oldies had access to.

Republicans are more likely to be small business owners because of the core values of their political leanings: hard work, self reliance, respect for the law. It’s hard to be a successful small business owner if you think everyone should be paid the same without regard to performance, reliability, skill development, and so on.

Impossible. I was taught in College, back in 1961, that the Left were more intelligent than Conservatives. That has been reinforced repeatedly since then. I'm just too retarded to believe it.

Most of the Dims I personally know are not stupid people, they are easily manipulated by the Gaslight Media, late night television and Hollywood/pop culture.

If this ^^^ is indicative of a lower IQ you may be on to something.

It certainly was the case when I went to school. And it wasn’t even close. Yet that was back in the day when liberals were open-minded, pro free speech, and more intellectual. Now whether or not these Einsteins stayed true to their liberal beliefs is, well, not known. But some of the most intelligent people I have ever encountered were liberal. Most insanely good lawyers and doctors tend to be liberal as well. I think we can also extend that thought out to politics as well because liberals tend to run political circles around conservatives even though conservatives have the more logical arguments.

Now, common sense? That’s an entirely different discussion.

To be honest, OP has provided as much proof as most of the so-called "experts" do when pushing their twisted agendas nowadays.

Science has been replaced with Mob-think in Academia.

Why are we holding OP to a higher standard than the Leftist Zealots pushing Global Warming/GenderBlahBlah/Forced Vaxxes?

I mean, comparatively speaking, OP qualifies as an "expert" in 2024....

Even the ones claiming to have a 188 IQ are dumbasses.

No, there are a few exceptions.....

I mean if you want to defend these religious zealots posing as experts, feel free.

However, most people with common-sense see thru the scam.

BTW, "goat fking" would be something that the Left would embrace and push as normal rather than your average farmer.

This board reads of people that are always angry and terrified of everyone and everything. There’s a monthly thread about living in a bomb shelter or best way to doomsday prep. It’s a product of gobblig up venom from the Q and Alex Jones type of grifters. Conspiracy theorists are contrarian by nature and often convinced they are smarter than everyone else.

Probably because "conspiracy theorists" have such an amazing track record of late.

I mean, we've seen shite tons of "conspiracy theories" turn out to be true.

Have they? Or have they been repeated so many times that a large portion of gullible people just declare a proven fact? Every time someone makes a list of conspiracies that have been prove true I see I don’t see any that have ever been proven true at all.
