Charles Krauthammer once wrote, “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.”
Political polarization is at an all-time high. Studies show that, although liberals and conservatives often seem to disagree about moral values, the two groups still disparage each other’s intelligence more than each other’s morality.
When I consider that liberals fail to comprehend the societal values of personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, and individual liberty, My conclusion is that liberals actually are inherently stupid. There have been many purported group IQ comparisons between liberals and conservatives, but those that I found and researched were either suspect/biased for various reasons or untrue via Snopes. I would love to see valid IQ test result comparisons between conservatives and liberals. My bet is that you would get many more conservative than liberal volunteers for the testing. That would be sort of a clue in itself.
