It's good to know troll threads like this are allowed to stay open. So, in the future, if Surtur, Broly, or myself decide to post a similar thread mocking dumb leftists instead I guess it 'll be okay as well. 😉
There's plenty of threads meant to "mock leftist" that are still open; in fact, you created some of them yourself my retarded friend star/fly.
ps Keep posting, you're given credence to this study

Nice try at gaslighting the previous conversation to make seem like I was gaslighitng. 😉
I know you still hurt from that conversation because you didn't want to be wrong but here is the post again:

What recent research does show is that extremes on either end are less intelligent. Economic conservatives are more intelligent than social liberals, Republicans have higher verbal IQ than Democrats, and intelligence correlates more to Republicans (classical liberals who want maximum individual freedom).[b]Comparing strong Republicans with strong Democrats, Carl finds that Republicans have a 5.48 IQ point advantage over Democrats. Broadening party affiliation to include moderate to merely leaning respondents still results in a Republican advantage of 3.47 IQ points and 2.47 IQ points respectively.
It's as if this topic is far more nuanced than you thought:

And if you read further, the researcher - who is not associated with reason.com - clarifies:
Classical liberals, Carl notes, believe that an individual should be free to make his own lifestyle choices and to enjoy the profits derived from voluntary transactions with others. He proposes that intelligence actually correlates with classically liberal beliefs.
I know this game bugs you a lot. I know it is irritating. I know it sucks to have someone come into you thread and shit all over your narrative. But it is what it is.

Why would I need to read further when what you quoted supports what I quoted? Liberals are smarter, per the study.Pat yourself on the back some more, there's at least one watching right now.
Don't mind if I pat myself onthe back, more:
Carl begins by pointing out that there is data suggesting that a segment of the American population holding classical liberal beliefs tends to vote Republican.To test this hypothesis, Carl uses data on political attitudes and intelligence derived from the General Social Survey, which has been administered to representative samples of American adults every couple of years since 1972. Using GSS data, respondents are classified on a continuum ranging from strong Republican through independent to strong Democrat. Carl then creates a measure of socially liberal beliefs based on respondents' attitudes toward homosexuality, marijuana consumption, abortion, and free speech for communists, racists, and advocates for military dictatorship. He similarly probes liberal economic views, with an assessment of attitudes toward government provision of jobs, industry subsidies, income redistribution, price controls, labor unions, and military spending. Verbal Intelligence is evaluated using the GSS WORDSUM test results.
Comparing strong Republicans with strong Democrats, Carl finds that Republicans have a 5.48 IQ point advantage over Democrats. Broadening party affiliation to include moderate to merely leaning respondents still results in a Republican advantage of 3.47 IQ points and 2.47 IQ points respectively. Carl reconciles his findings with the social science literature that reports that liberals are more intelligent than conservatives by proposing that Americans with classically liberal beliefs are even smarter. Carl further reports that those who endorse both social conservatism and economic statism also have lower verbal IQ scores.
"Overall, my findings suggest that higher intelligence among classically liberal Republicans compensates for lower intelligence among socially conservative Republicans," concludes Carl.
I mean...I literally had to quote half of the article so you couldn't wriggle out of it. Are you trusting that no one will actually open up the article and read it? haermm
And, don't worry, I can't pat myself on the back anymore: my arm is cramping because you keep setting me up to spike it back for the point.
Liberals are smarter, per the study. Seems be both agree here.
I can quote too:
Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as explanations of prejudice. We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice, an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology. A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice, a relation partially mediated by both authoritarianism and low levels of intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status. Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability in research on prejudice and a better integration of cognitive ability into prejudice models.
Robbie and putinbot in a private conversation:
Robbie: "It sucks that we on the left just keep losing and losing. First it was Brexit...then Trump won... then he succeeded to put two conservatives on SC despite our best efforts to stop him by lying about his picks... then the russian collusion narrative was debunked... then Boris Johnson won... then Trump was acquitted on the BS impeachment charges so now we have to face him in 2020 election which we know deep down we'll lose... why can't we catch a damn break?"
PB: "Yeah, I know... it sucks, mate. I'm fighting to hold back tears as I type this at how often we keep losing and I don't know how long I can keep up the charade on the forum that I'm actually happy and keep projecting my butthurt onto Trumpers/right-wingers. Really frustrating... we need to get a pretend win somehow to make ourselves feel better... but how?"
Robbie: "Hey, I have a great idea! I'll make a 'Right-wingers are dumb!' thread to troll Trumpers!! It'll be perfect!"
PB: "Brilliant! I mean, that is what us lefties do when we can't win an argument or beat our opponents in elections and stuff: we simply call them names!! Damn, we are so cool bro! Pretend winning is so much fun! Wee!!"
😆 😆 🤣 😂 😂

Not all Republican voters are purely conservatives. Not all liberals are Democrats.
Your most intelligent and informed voting block votes Republican.
It's in the quote. 🙂
Are you upset by these facts? "Republicans are dumb" is dumb. "Democrats are dumb" is dumb.

You "missed" my point last time and you "missed" it again, this time. 👆
Missed is in quotes because you didn't miss it. You're just gaslighting.

I thought with the threads the last few days we learned far right = dumb, far left = crazy, it's all well documented, there is some quote from the bible that would make it even more relevant as well, I'm sure.

Far left and far right are more dumb than center, liberals, and libertarians.
Classical Liberals, also known as conservative libertarians, who vote Republican, are the most intelligent and informed voters.
The more left you are, the more severe mental health issues you have. There is significantly less of a correlation for right wingers, though.
Trying to say, "Republicans are dumber than Democrats" is not an honest statement.
