The conventional wisdom has always been that Democrats (liberals) are the bright sparks while Republicans are bigoted redneck hicks who can’t count the number fingers on their hands. HOWEVER, here was have a peer reviewed study from the most prestigious and respected university in the world, confirming that we all secretly knew, and that is Republicans are verbally more intelligent than Dumbs.. Oh I meant Dems. And we also know that verbal intelligence correlated strongly with general intelligence, so we can extrapolate from that that Republicans are intellectually superior to Democrats.

Its interesting that this study is buried deep inside the internet, yet other studies that propose that Democrats are smarter are frequently cited in online pop publications like Psychology Today, Vox etc. Guess the troof hurts 😆.

Also goes to show how pop internet sites can manipulate and distort perceptions that are incongruent with reality.
