Overlaps nicely with things I’ve said in the past:
There’s a bonus point here: It’s not just that conservatives are less intelligent genetically, it’s that since conservatives live in less developed parts of the country/world, their survival is more difficult, more threatened, so they must invest more time in survival, which leaves them less time for intellectual development and education. The educational opportunities in conservative parts of the world are objectively lower. There is no MIT of southern rednecks, because rednecks don’t have time to sit in a classroom. That’s why their necks are red, and why the love Trump.
“Smart people don’t like me.” — Donald Trump
One of the mundane reason’s I’m so openminded and intelligent is because I was educated in really good progressive California schools, by great teachers. I would not be who I am today if I wasn’t educated in progressive California. That is my privilege. 98% of the world’s population simply can’t afford that privilege. Never forget that. Just education is a huge privilege. Leftists forget this too easily. Conservatives, generally-speaking, don’t have access to your schools. Of course, conservatives love to demonize your schools. But that’s because they never went to your schools.
If everyone in the world had access to California schools, that would change the world. We are still far from that.
