Multiple studies have shown a strong connection between low IQ, religiosity, and conservative beliefs. College educated people are far more likely to be liberal than people who don't attend college. The right wing loves to interpret this fact by saying that people are being indoctrinated in college, which again, has been proven time and time again to be false. The truth is much simpler: people who attend college are more likely to have a higher IQ to begin with than those who do not. I have a lot of very smart friends-waaaay smarter than I am-who didn't attend college and guess what? Every single one of them has a "liberal" belief system, and many of them are "libertarian" minded if not actually Libertarians.
The Republican party has purged itself of any intelligent moderates that it once had-old school Reagan era conservatives. I never agreed with these people but at least they were intelligent enough to have a coherent belief system and held up the Constitution as the law of the land. Those people are long gone from the current Republican party which now is a mixed bag of useful idiots, authoritarians, terrorists, and cynical millionaires. These people despise the Constitution and are using Jim Crow tactics to subvert the Constitution and instill total minority rule over this country through every means at their disposal. They lie, cheat, and steal to win elections despite the FACT that the Republican party has lost voters every year for over a decade. Look at the Congressional race in Florida where a dark money GOP group propped up a fake candidate with the same name as the Democratic candidate just to peel off enough votes so the GOP candidate could win. The "puppet" was able to pull 5,000 votes away from the real candidate, and the GOP ended up winning by 300 some odd votes. Now this is currently being investigated, but guess who is still in power? The GOP candidate. People should be in prison for this, and the TRUE winner should be immediately reinstated. All Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for what they've done to our country, there is no low they wouldn't sink to to maintain power.
