Why does it seem that the lower one's IQ and education, the more likely they are to vote Republican?

Question

Not intended to be as base a slam as it sounds, but honestly, it hurts to know that these right-wing fatasses lead the USA by misleading the ignorant with go team battle cries and slander. Where is the honest discussion about world ethics, humanity, war, peace?

Answer 1

There is very little discussion, as you mention in these lower economic red states. I have moved from Calif. and so miss the mind challenging conversations between both friend and foe. I now live in the Bible Belt. It is almost cult like, and yes, everybody is wathching Nascar and riding around with guns in the rack of their trucks. They are afraid "liberals" will take their guns away. Most of these people fear change and just flat do not know what is going on around them. It used to be that the poor and un-educated voted for Democrats, the people that could and would help them.. blame the churches for a lot of this, as they preach fear....trust me, I am living right in the middle of it all.

Answer 2

You've hit the nail on the head already.

The more educated somebody is, the more knowledgable they are about the world and the more likely they can form their own opinions based on deduction, history, and fact.

The under-educated 'masses' would rather someone else did their thinking for them and it's these people that propoganda is aimed at. They're comfortable with their lives and comfortable with the lies.

Throughout history, the great movements have tended to begin in universities - by students - by students who THINK. An intelligent thinker is not going to vote for a man who can't string an intelligent sentence together.

Answer 3

properly at the starting up, discuss on your instructor that that is a heavy topic for seventh grade. and no, that isn't authentic. it does in truth impact your vote casting alternatives, yet no longer contained in the way your instructor is suggesting... because if some one is sensible adequate to do their very personal study, extremely of listening to the media, then sure, they are going to understand the information, and vote in a unmarried route over the different, regardless of the indisputable fact that that is compared to, ok you've a ninety 2 IQ, you're likely a republican... no it would not artwork that way. like a number of of the hating that is going on in the route of our contemporary president.... its all media depending. no individual knows the information... like the monetary device is doing extra perfect than it became even as he went in to place of work... human beings purely trust the media's lies, and base their lives off the media's lies. sure lies.

Answer 4

I would agree, sadly it seems that the people with less COMMON sense vote for the Republicans.

You cannot equate a IQ or PHd etc to common sense. Its just that the rich are naive and think that by voting reublican they are bieng patriotic etc. While the ones with less access to news from around the world buy into the whole force is needed republican policy.

While other 'poor' people with common sense tend to vote democrat, its the same with some rich people.

I think its just a matter that areas with low IQ seem to vote republican, but I guess thats also becasue they may be areas with less news access etc...

Answer 5

Because Republican mentality and ideology sounds good and looks good sometimes, but similar to communism or marxism, there is no real world basis for it. It just is'nt practical in real life. Also, Republicans tend to be great at, spin and poilitics nowadays, and are adept at fooling uninformed people, on top of that, the more educated people who tend to be higher class are the ones that benefit from many Republican policies, so therefore they have cornered the market by appealing to all lower, middle, and higher classes.

Answer 6

Have you ever listened to Bush talk. He sound like a crack head. Those around him have hinted that he's illiterate.

Besides most people who vote for the nutcase republicans are red states from the south. The same area of America that constantly gets the lowest S.A.T scores. Alot of my friends who live in red states say their dumb down their because alot of inbreeding goes on.

Don't worry, with gas prices the way they are Bo and Luke will have no choice but to throw the nutcase republicans out of office. Right now as it stands they can't afford to fill up the General Lee.

Answer 7

How many degrees do you have? I think it's sad that people like you have nothing to stand on so now you go to the "stupid" thing and then actually say that it's not intended as a slam. What would you call it? I find it amazing that so many seemingly intelligent people have such a capacity for lies or ignoring the truth. You people don't have "honest discussions" because you just can't bare the truth.

Answer 8

Wrong. Democommies claim that Republicans cater to the rich. Most rich folks have university degrees. I am not rick but i have a good degree from a great University. Then Democommies claim that Republicans cater to the uneducated. Democommies can not make their mind up.

Answer 9

For many of you, the spell check button is on the right, above the text field. Any how, you psuedo intellectual democrats are just as sad as any misguided republican. Both parties want to disregard the needs of the voters and screw us over. Republicans seek to do this by catering to the super-rich, and Democrats by catering to the super-poor. As you no doubt know, and constantly ***** about, Republican leaders gain power by making promises to super rich *** holes who in turn give them money so they can have a hefty campaign fund to use to confuse us poor dumb southerners into voting for them. Democrats, who have equally rich *** holes to give them money, campaign to equally dumb minorities telling them that they will support them through social programs, because hey!, this is America, and we have the right to take money from those who will work for it and give it to those who will not. While both use different strategies, they seek the same general outcome. To make citizens dependent on government: Republicans by force, Democrats through apathy. As long as self rightous, trend following, MTV watching, baby's daddy having myrmidons such as yourselves, as well as die hard Democrats and Republicans who do not think for themselves, and do not know the Constitution from their own ***, keep fighting each other instead of coming together as a functioning nation, we will always have a bunch of selfish assholes on both sides of our government gradually cheapening our existence. Remember that it is we who give the government its rights, not the other way around. There are more than two schools of political thought out there. As it stands, you can pick between a fascist empire, or a socialist one, but they are pretty much the same thing.

Answer 10
