I have often thought that it must take some kind of super intellect to come up with and defend some of the idiot ideas that liberals fall in love with.
Sometimes if you back out of all the complex, intricate rabbit hole thought process and reduce a question to its simplest most basic form, you find the real solution does not require an advanced degree.
Simple isn't always stupid and complex isn't always smart or necessary.

@AdmiralPrune That's the biggest problem with it.

One look at the polling data shows that trump supporters are promarily older, low educated white males that live outstate.

@SusanInFlorida They're not. Democrats are smarter than Republicans.

@Waveney This tends to be one of the hardest things to explain to people for some reason. I don't vote for democrats because I'm a democrat. I vote for democrats because I'm against republicans and don't have any better options given our electoral system.
There's a lot of "everyone else" out there that isn't one of the two political parties the US has.

@SusanInFlorida Well, you have a convicted criminal in White House. Politicians have a very low bar. A lot of them wouldn’t pass background checks for regular work

That doesn't prove a whole lot. Most conservatives are pretty socially liberal and while they tend more towards religion plenty aren't, a lot of people on the left are religious as well. Authoritarians are consistently shown to score lower on IQ tests, they can fall on either side of the political spectrum.

@badminton In absolute fairness, I must state clearly that my comment does NOT apply to all Americans. There are some intelligent, informed, enlightened Americans out there, many of whom have travelled and benefitted from walking a mile in the shoes of others.
I am however referencing the perception of non Americans everywhere, and their observations about other Americans as seen through the Trump lens..😷

If we apply that question to British politics we'd need establish if with capital or lower-case initial letters, because there are the Liberal-Democrat Party and the Conservative Party.
Whether the members and supporters of any one party are cleverer than any other.. I think this largely meaningless. There are bright and less bright, well-educated and poorly-educated, people in all walks of political life.
Extreme groups, of both Right and Left, tend to attract people who may or may not be particularly intelligent but have poor analytical and critical skills.
