Is there a correlation between Democrats and lower IQ ... ? You can twist statistics to say whatever you want. This science study found that Democrats have a slightly lower IQ than Republicans.

Is it true?

Probably not. The test data and methodology were very limited.

But do you see the conundrum you're backing yourself into by assuming that you and your fellow cohorts are smarter because of your beliefs in whomever or whatever?

Considering what Democrats and Biden are doing to the economy and Wall Street's response, anyone who voted for them looks pretty duped and stupid right now. Sure, [insert political excuses here], but the fact is political policies affect economics. Are you stupid because you believed in Biden and Democrats to do a better job running the economy than Trump?

But I digress ...

The problem with this tack is that your whole idea is flawed. You want to think and believe that people who believe in GOD are stupid and moronic idiots.

Yet, I know of people with IQ's in excess of 140 who believe in GOD. These are not stupid people. Some of them voted for Trump and some of them voted for Biden. Some of them are Christian, and some of them are not.

Ergo, intellect does not determine beliefs.

I would say that environment determines beliefs much more so than IQ.

Another fallacy to be aware of, just because you see a "growing body of so-called evidence" doesn't mean the methodology is accurate or correct. They may have started with a conclusion and then created a study to verify their bogus assumptions.
