    That's because all rightists have inferior intelligence.

    Study links low intelligence with right-wing beliefs


    Researchers have found a possible explanation for why certain people are prejudiced: they're less intelligent.

    Children with lower general intelligence are more likely to become
    prejudiced as adults, according to a Brock University study.

    The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, examined data
    from two large-scale British studies, and found lower intelligence scores
    in childhood were predictors of greater racism in adulthood, which the researchers controversially explain is brought about by adopting right-wing ideologies.

    A secondary analysis of data from a U.S. study also showed those with poor abstract-reasoning skills were more likely to have anti-homosexual
    prejudice, partially linked to authoritarian attitudes.

    Lead researcher Gordon Hodson told LiveScience that the results of the
    study indicate a vicious cycle, in which people with low intelligence are
    drawn to socially conservative ideologies. In turn, those ideologies can contribute to prejudices.

    "Socially conservative ideologies tend to offer structure and order," he
    said, explaining why those with lower intelligence may gravitate toward the right. "Unfortunately, many of these features can contribute to prejudice."

    The researchers found that people with lower intelligence also tended to
    have less contact with other races and groups, which, Dr. Hodson said,
    supports previous research that determined interacting with other groups is mentally challenging and cognitively draining.

    Dr. Hodson explained the findings do not mean all liberals are smart and
    all conservatives are stupid, LiveScience.com reports. "There are multiple examples of very bright conservatives and not-so-bright liberals, and many examples of very principled conservatives and very intolerant liberals," he said.

    Previous research has suggested that the brains of conservatives and
    liberals are wired differently.

    I observe the opposite. Those most eager about diversity are those who live in more affluent, less "diverse" areas, whereas proximity to diversity increases opposition to it.

    There are lots of articles where people try to show that those who are politically opposed are "less intelligent", but I don't buy it. People
    were more "prejudiced" in the past, where they less intelligent? No, so
    there were other social factors at play. Also, a view held by more
    intelligent people doesn't necessary show correctness. Intelligent
    people are also more likely to believe in rubbish, being able to
    comprehend and hold abstract ideas which are wrong. People who are not intelligent don't have ideas. It takes intelligence to hold a WRONG
    idea. It takes intelligence to be able to come up with a justification
    for holding to contradictory views, or explaining why your theory
    doesn't match observation. The STUPIDEST ideas have been thought of,
    and propogated, by intellectuals. Midwits smart enough to remember and understand the intellectual justification, but not quite at the
    intellectual level to realise its rubbish.
