nope.
they're both equally retarded.

hahaha why don't they include brand new boat liberals?? Afraid??? Afraid of the truth????

They don't

Fake news. Also demographically impossible.

jew masons murdered captain morgan and bill cooper

Why do niggers in the US have an IQ of 85?

Why are all non very conservatives so retarded?

You're implying that niggers and spics are used in these tests and that they can afford to take an IQ test.

Ger many thanks!

You need a higher IQ to engage in the extreme mental gymnastics necessary to hold such insane & frivolous views.

Bait thread boys. Let it ride.

Genetics and environment, same reason for IQs of nearly everyone. Also I never said anything about the IQ of blacks or any specific non-ideological group. However when you control for variables like race, at least for whites, liberals have a decidedly higher average IQ, and that relation likely holds for other population groups/races as well.
See above, controlling for race, liberals have higher IQ than conservatives, so black liberals will be smarter than black conservatives, asian liberals smarter than asian conservatives, etc.

Niggers and spics vote Democrat. Ashkenazi Jews and East Asians are too small to offset these results.

Kek...and they still chose Hillary.

> Higher IQ people vote for Hillary
> This is somehow a negative indictment of Hillary instead of something in favor of her and liberals/democrats

Did you even read the abstracts you utter retard?

Its called the Electoral College faggot, and that's the way it works here. Feel free to move if you don't like it.

Biggest factor is probably that they consider Jews to be "White". Jews are "liberal" because they have high IQ and hate white people and have rightly concluded that liberalism is the best vehicle for white genocide. If you look at non-Jew white liberals, they tend to be on the dopey side (befitting their useful idiot status).

nitpicking. youre googling why are liberals so smart or something.

OP's sources contradict his meme graph
Remember to sage this bait thread.

Read the abstracts:
>However, I find that individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat (2–5 IQ points), and that individuals who supported the Republican Party in elections have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who supported the Democratic Party (2 IQ points).

They contradict his bait.

106 iq lol.

What's the argument against academia being extremely liberal while also being among the highest-average intelligence employer/workplace?
Many people on Sup Forums argue that Jews don't actually have higher IQs than whites but simply cheat/collude/use nepotism, etc. to succeed.

Stop posting.

>tfw the average ashkenazi IQ is 112-115, which is even higher.

Probably based on a garbage study that didn't include Haredim since it's 103 in Israel itself.

Well that's another thing, Ashkenazi Jews and atheists/agnostics have higher IQs than most whites and religious people/theists, but that's another thing Sup Forums denies for some reason.

because our educational institutes are breeding grounds for communist and socialist propoganda

Your pet niggers who vote Democrat have an IQ of 85 and have socially more conservative views than the Republican voters you came here to bait.

Because being liberal means thinking abstractly, and abstract thinkers are more intelligent than concrete thinkers.

the party that has like 90% of niggers is the highest iq?

lmao yeah right

See
OP's own sources show that Republican voters have higher IQs than Democrat voters. "Liberal" and "Conservative" are goalposts that are easy to move. Niggers have "socially conservative views."

Blacks are socially conservative only to an extent, they are among the most pro-choice demographic in the country.
> Pet niggers
I don't even particularly like them, I'm not a democrat, and I don't even identify as a liberal, I'm just asking why they have higher IQs on average, at least controlling for race.

Old studies from before the switch.

My IQ is in the mid 120's but I tend to lean to the right on most social issues. Maybe I have some kike in me. Kek

Have read through the methodology of somenof these (((studies))) and it is funny the lengths they go to count niggers as conservative. For example, people that don't leave the home neighborhood is considered a conservative trait. Since niggers rarely leave their ghetto, this pushes many niggers as conservative.

Likewise, out of all the conservative political opinions, only a few are selected in the surveys. Usually they pick gay rights ans illegals since niggers don't really like faggots or spics.

You're confusing liberal with Democrat. Poor black people (racism really necessary?) are not generally liberal.

Most of Israelis aren't Ashkenazi.

Me thinks I see a correlation

I have a better question: why do you pretend to be brain dead?
>individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat (2–5 IQ points)

^from a study you cited.

Look at the fucking map you dense Mizrahi. Average IQ of Israel is 95.

Black people may vote for Democrats but ideologically most of them aren't liberal. Liberalism (as in property rights, realizing the utility of universal rights, democracy, etc.) generally requires a floor of abstract thinking somewhat beyond what a lot of them are probably capable of. They generally just vote for group/pragmatic interests.

Blacks aren't liberal they just vote that way. They probably don't even understand the political titles to begin with.

Reading was my weak part but I got higher than all of the races

Are.. you retarded? I talked about the ashkenazi jews. not about arabs, mizrahis, christians and so on, which together are the most of Israel's population. Most israelis aren't ashkenazis.

>What is population

"Liberal" and "conservative" are goalposts easy to move. If you want to find the largest proportion of baptist Bible believing theist homophobes then you'll find them among your pet apes.

Conservatism basically means being resistant to change or, alternatively, being socially and economically exclusive. If you think black people in the United States are generally "liberal", then you don't know what the meaning of liberalism and conservatism is.

Literally brain dead.

Really makes you think.

Now what about all of the other studies?
What about academia which is overwhelmingly high-IQ and overwhelmingly liberal?

its that people who dont inhabit most of the country should not dictate the entire countries laws.

Because working class white voters choose Republican, so when you take out the Democrat non-whites democrats will have a higher IQ.
Stratify that by income, it'll cancel out

What is "liberal"? Is the republican party liberal?

Wikipedia states otherwise. Google "Average Ashkenazi IQ".

Actually read what he cites:
>>individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat (2–5 IQ points)

>The party of niggers, single women, and spics
>Higer IQ

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahhahahahaahahhahahahaha

Secular Anglican master race.

Great citations.

The real concern here is self-awareness.

Liberals may be smarter or more educated - which may be the problem. Liberals believe they know whats best for everyone and are quick to make decisions for a group.

Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to believe in religion which asks its followers to submit to a higher will. As such, they don't concern themselves with making decisions for a group, as they know its not theirs to make.

Also, sage the slide thread.

Liberal means being socially and economically inclusive and a preference for policies that progress towards maximal social and economic exclusivity.

> The elite ruling upper caste of a complicated political movement is more intelligent than average
> Outlier/exception proves the general rule
> What are statistics
You really showed me :DD
Liberal is a broad range of beliefs generally characterized by social tolerance and willingness to change and irreverence towards religion/tradition.

"Liberal" and "conservative" are goalposts that are easy to move.

Yeah but either way its a bad argument since a lot more white people vote republican, so when you do average IQ Republicans will be disadvantaged.
Either way, Republicans pandering to dysgenical pro-lifers lower their average IQ, it would be even higher without them

Because they misrepresent statistics.

>social inclusive
>social tolerance
>willingness to change and irreverence towards religion/tradition.

A white republican voter is more of both than a nigger democrat. Hence

>Higer
I guess they are better at spelling as well.

Where did you find this?

Smarter people e.g. Asian/white men vote for Trump

Dumb people are liberals

"Republican" and "Democrat" are meaningless. They don't actually tell you someone's beliefs, only their allegiances. By determining if someone is liberal or conservative (by a combination of self-report and simply asking them questions), you get a much better understanding of who they are ideologically.

> A white republican voter is more of both than a nigger democrat. Hence
You're not stating anything new or radical here, whites are more liberal than other races overall. But that doesn't mean white Republicans are necessarily as liberal as some other whites.

Apparently not.

The implied bait and ad hominem is that Sup Forums is conservative because it supports Trump and the republican party and therefore it is stupid.

>What's the argument against academia being extremely liberal while also being among the highest-average intelligence employer/workplace?

It's called O'Sullivan's law
And your sources are shit and testing Europeans or contradict your argument

Why would you expect that the spectrum of human intelligence would necessarily map onto the difficulty of understanding politics such that 110-120 IQ liberals know what the fuck they're talking about?

>leftism is entropy
At least we have a scientific definition here.

Sup Forums is conservative. We know this because of reading Sup Forums. Their Trump support is only reflective of that.

But I know socially left-leaning Trump supporters who rationalized voting Trump because they didn't want higher taxes and didn't believe Trump could / would attempt half of the shit he said he would.

If we're trying to determine someone's ideology, the most direct way to do that is to ask them what they believe. "Republican" and "Democrat" is indirect. For instance, you're conflating the relatively intelligent libertarian voters who are really only concerned with economic issues with the stupid hick in the South who hates black and brown people. These two people are ideologically dissimilar even though they vote the same party.

But I won't engage with you anymore on this since clearly you're obviously being irrational about the fact that liberals are more intelligent than conservatives on average, which would be expected when you consider intellectuals are overwhelmingly liberal, but whatever.

This proves no matter how hight their IQ is the Americans are all a bunch of fat jew cocksucker retards. Muh republican muh democrat, what a democracy we live in, hard decisions :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

Because they made the count.

because niggers count as "conservative" when it is convenient

otherwise, republicans are smarter than democrats

The problem with that is intellectuals have always been significantly more liberal than the general population. Always.

Conservatism is inherently less intellectual than liberalism. There's no intelligence needed to think solely in terms of the past, that which has already happened. Thinking towards the future requires you to actually build something new.

Now are there "smart" conservatives? Sure, but significantly less (compared to liberals) are "intelligent." They're not using higher-order thinking skills and thinking abstractly. They're just really good at following directions that arose from liberal ingenuity. These "smart" conservatives aren't even interested in academia because they don't think that way. They're more likely to go into fields like engineering and finance, where you just do what you're told.

But I won't engage with you anymore on this since clearly you're obviously being irrational about the fact that when it comes to actual partisanship (aka niggers counting as democrats, not "conservatives") republicans are smarter

Notice that it's only adolescents.

given that ACTUAL conservatives (aka people that vote for the right) make more money than liberals, I doubt it

Trump voters were well over average income

fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-mythology-of-trumps-working-class-support/

should I remind you that until the 1960s and their counter-revolution the upper classes were to the right of the general population?

that the european elites were the most interested in keeping the Old Order from leftist revolutions and from populist napoleons?

Go ahead and give me source on that buddy

I can give you a source on O'Sullivan's law
It turns out the left is just a bunch of low IQ bigots

yoelinbar.net/papers/political_diversity.pdf

for all your pseudo-intellectualism, you will simply not look into studies that actually accounted for race and partisanship

Because conservatives have enough IQ to not take the IJew tests.

>tfw too smart to vote for reasonable and sustainable policies

Cool blog

This illustrates another difference between liberals and conservatives: liberals identify significantly less with their political part of choice. conservatives tend to see being in their party as being part of a team where the goal is simply to "win" at all costs. Trump is exposing just how deeply ingrained this absurd sense of loyalty goes. It's unfathomable to even consider liberals rallying behind an Obama doing half the shit Trump is doing now. It's not even about ideology--it's really about supporting "your guy" and "winning" at all costs. It explains a lot of the conservative whataboutism: you guys think because you blindly follow anyone with an R that Democrats must to the same degree as well. Sorry, that's not how it works.

I hope you're not really an anarcho-capitalist. Are you 15 years old?
