I used to post this study to people who made comments saying that liberals were stupid
and now, interestingly I cannot find it and it has been replaced by one suggesting that republicans are the,(slightly) smarter ones. It is on Science Direct. They are getting their information now from "U.S. General Social Survey (GSS)". I have no idea who they are but I don't see any scientific studies on their site. I also searched their information box and got nothing for 'intelligence" with liberal or conservative.

It seems as if they were pressured to post this "study" that isn't a study. They are rated as "Pro-Science"

Here is the link to the article that comes up if you enter "IQ Conservatives" or something similar. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289614001081

I am hoping someone else would like to write to them and ask why they have seeming removed the study that used over 3,000 students, (SAT tests and some others that I cannot remember) and replaced it with one that uses a "General Social Survey" with no links

The reason I am asking for someone else to do this is, at this point I can't do it because I am so mad and if I stay like this for too long I get depressed.

I used to do these things all the time but now for some reason I get mad and then depressed. It's the holiday shit too. I can't wait until it is all over.

I guess it can be pretty depressing to read that the majority don’t fit your agenda. And most of all all the holiday shit can be depressing when you’re a nasty person with no friends and your family hates you for being an ass hole  :loser: :lmao: :loser: I used to do these things all the time but now for some reason I get mad and then depressed. It's the holiday shit too. I can't wait until it is all over.
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Basking in the glow of my white Privilege and toxic masculinity while I water the Begonias with liberal tears!

I will give up my guns when the liberals give up their illegal aliens

We need a Bull Shit tax to make the Democrats go broke!

Newer study shows that the old numbers have changed?  "More intelligent" people who previously did not identify with either party have decided they line up more with republicans than democrats?  "More intelligent" democrats jumped ship cause they see the floating dumpster fire that is the modern democrat party?

Lots of very legitimate reasons why a new study could be posted and the old one removed.  If Maraya1969 has used it in the past and posted it, they should be able to look through their own various histories to find the old survey.  Could probably work the old Wayback Machine on Archive.org to find the old study as well. 

But all of that is common sense and basic critical thinking, foreign concepts over on the island, where one of their mantras is "disinform me harder, proggie overlords".

Maraya1969 is having problems accepting things with which she disagrees. Let me help her out.

If one were to take every leftist that’s ever lived, take their collective intelligent and place it into one person, individual conservatives are more intelligent that that one person could ever hope to be.

Now I know you can’t comprehend that, and your ego won’t allow you to accept it, but for the record you needed to know.

That is all.

Alright, that sentence made me honestly LOL.  "You do this chore, because I can't do it, because I'm so mad!"  That works so well in my everyday work life. 

That study used 3,000 students and their SAT scores as a basis?  Mush headed high school students?  Nobody really knows if they're liberal or conservative at that point, and SATs don't measure what you need to know in life.

3. The GSS is funded by the National Science Foundation

It's been around for decades, is highly influential, and is used extensively by research and media firms. Data from the GSS is going to be much more extensive and wide-ranging than one study with 3,000 students.

Then, the mods locked it as off topic.  She put in the Editorials section.  Any idiot knows this topic wouldn't belong there.  Obviously, conservatives are more intelligent than liberals.  :lmao:

I would agree that real "liberals" are smart but real "liberals" are usually conservatives. now "Liberals" AKA democrats AKA fascists are brain dead robots that will say and do whatever is ordered by their elite masters and by definition are very stupid like 3 sigma stupid.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

The left is reactionary. They are afraid of change.
