Whelp, ..... it's that time again.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I'd ask what kind of morons believe this sort of claptrap, but DU-folk and like-minded Libs & Progs answer the question by being the answer. Real IQ tests - to the degree they have any reflection of reality - focus on practical knowledge and problem-solving, not partisan opinions.

A conservative could play the same game and concoct an "IQ test" of similar value and validity using questions like:

* "Was Ronald Reagan functionally illiterate?"

* "Did George W. Bush get into the Texas Air National Guard to avoid serving in Vietnam?"

* "Was George W. Bush Dick Cheney's sock puppet?"

* "Is Donald Trump a racist, sexist, advocating violence, and evil incarnate?"

But we'd know it wasn't a"real" IQ test.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Exactly and yes.

Quite appropriate, since you'd be giving this test to people we know don't have a real IQ.

It's clickbait.

It doesn't present any new info, it doesn't argue anything substantive (just that republicans are stupid, so nyah), and contains a chart that has little to do with the thesis.

Funny how those who claim they have "high IQ's" are consistently having employment/financial/relationship/etc... problems.

Look primitives, any one of us over here is more intelligent that all of you combined. Give it a rest. You're in over your heads.
