How do you measure intelligence in the United States?

One way of measuring intelligence in the United States is by their political affiliation. At the very bottom the most stupid people in America are the Trump supporters. Very backward thinking people. Then you have the religious nut jobs the Christians. Then you have the rest of the Republicans. Next are the corporate Democrats. And the most intelligent and advanced people in the United States are the Progressive Democrats.

@ElwoodBlues I think that if private schools, religious schools, and home schooling were factored in then the schools in the deep red states like MS, LA, TX would rank considerably worse.

I usually measure it by whether or not a person sees a huge body of humans and assumes they are identical.

Saves time.

@Mamapolo2016 If they’re watching FAUX Noise that’s a very bad prognostic indicator!

@KunsanVeteran make no mistake. I despise what is happening currently and I despise the blowhards who are doing it.

I also point out that the most brilliant people on the planet, according to the OP, assisted in electing those blowhards by not taking the right approach, which for me casts doubt on their level of intelligence. It even makes me wonder if they actually wanted the election results we got, if they’re so intelligent and all…

Just my opinion. I’m middling smart at best,

@Mamapolo2016 Well in my circle of friends about 30% voted for him the first time—although I believe that they were mostly voting against Hillary

In 2020 about 15% voted for him

Of those who voted for in either 2016 or 2020 , all but two either voted for Harris/Walz or didn’t vote at all

Now, my circle of friends includes a lot of veterans and a lot of people with advanced degrees

The tRUMP supporters are brainwashed similar to the Germans in Hitler’s day. Anyone with two functioning neurons should have seen where he was headed long before January 6th and the stolen Top Secret documents.

Start by making Trump, Biden, Vance, Harris etc. do IQ tests (more than once for a valid data set).

@zonavar68 yes that would be a way to measure intelligence

@uikakarotuevegeta personally I would rank maga cult followers low on the evolutionary and IQ spectrum

Red states have the best public schools in the country. Mainstream conservatives generally are the best educated.
DemoNazis on the other hand barely could get through a Florida third grade final exam.

Calling those Nazis "Progressive" is like calling this place

a summer camp.

There, I've given you my sources; what's your source? Seriously dude, if you're questioning my sources, why can't you shed any light on your sources??

The best public schools in the nation as of 2024 are in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New Hampshire. Perhaps the states in the bottom half should go to New England, study those states, and see how it's done!
