| They’d need souls to search, of course. There’s little available evidence. |

There’s a genuine chance they won’t know which decrepit, white male bigot to vote for. I expect a lot of excess deaths from brain-bleeding in, eg, Wisconsin as a result. |
I’ll just leave this here.

Using data from the American National Election Studies, we investigated the relationship between cognitive ability and attitudes toward and actual voting for presidential candidates in the 2012 and 2016 U.S. presidential elections (i.e., Romney, Obama, Trump, and Clinton). Isolating this relationship from competing relationships, results showed that verbal ability was a significant negative predictor of support and voting for Trump (but not Romney) and a positive predictor of support and voting for Obama and Clinton. By comparing within and across the election years, our analyses revealed the nature of support for Trump, including that support for Trump was better predicted by lower verbal ability than education or income. In general, these results suggest that the 2016 U.S. presidential election had less to do with party affiliation, income, or education and more to do with basic cognitive ability. |

Haven't you been told not to leave your rubbish laying around?
Pick it up and put it in your room or it goes in the bin where it belongs.
Oh, and if it's some lame arse attempt at justifying your remarks about IQ's below 85, you really should learn the difference between intelligence and cognitive abilities.

I suppose that means you haven’t read the article.
"Support for Trump was better predicted by lower verbal ability than education or income. ... Our analyses indicate that support for Trump was less about socioeconomic standing, and more about intellect."
But by all means keep splitting hairs. |

I read the article, I also looked into the difference between cognitive ability and intelligence rather than just believing some nuffie.
But by all means keep posting rubbish.

| So, on average they’re stupider than people who didn’t vote for Trump but in a special, good way? |

You can teach a chimpanzee to play music, doesn't make it more intelligent than a builder.
A person can believe by virtue of their politics that they are more intelligent than those who vote differently to them, they're generally wrong.

The research indicates that people who voted for Trump at the last election were, on average, stupider than people who voted for Clinton. Nothing about occupational categories - in fact, the research expressly distinguishes between cognitive ability and education.
And, no, you can’t teach a chimpanzee to play music. There is a massive difference between playing notes with “executive facility” (as the AMEB would refer to the technical aspects) and playing music. |

Wanker college liberals come up with wanker liberal paper and don't at all go looking for evidence for their hatred of Trump voters while disregarding anything that disproves their rubbish.
Not sure why the obsession with IQ and voters anyway, I'd be interested to hear your take on the 100% Democrat vote in poor black neighbourhoods. |

Well, it’s not just about research confirming Trump supporters as stupider than the average bear. There are apparently a variety of fairly anti-social psychological factors at work, too: https://jspp.psychopen.eu/article/view/750/html
But I think we all knew that.
As for the expression “wanker college liberals”, I assume that’s a disparaging term you want to apply to not-entirely thick people who are edumacated and use “high-falutin’” words and publish work that threatens your world view? So far as I could tell the authors of that article were academics in Israel, the UK and Canada. They may have been to “college”, of course. |

Hmmnnn.............I have always thought that Collingwood supporters by virtue of their footy allegiance are more intelligent than those who barrack for different clubs, and that those ferals are generally wrong. Living in Bendigo I can vouch for the fact that Collingwood fans are much smarter than Carlscum morons
