Once again, conservatism proven to produce dumb people with low-effort skills

Actually PP is from Michigan. He's just showing his inferiority complex to someone from Ohio. By being self-deprecating I was attempting to show him some compassion. As might be expected from one who suffers from red headed step child disease he chose not to accept. Fair enough.

Ohio sets it's rivers on fire.....

I'm from WEST Michigan, we are inferior to no one.....people come here for their vacation to marvel at what we can take for granted.....

Sure was, and you're desperate to deflect attention from it, PiMP.

Here it is:

"Psychological Science" showed that children who score low on intelligence tests gravitate toward socially conservative political views in adulthood--perhaps because conservative ideologies stress "structure and order" that make it easier to understand a complicated world...

is that proof then that you've not yet grown up?....
 
More evidence of the nuances of rightwing thought?

The authors test the hypothesis that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism.

In Study 1, alcohol intoxication was measured among bar patrons; as blood alcohol level increased, so did political conservatism (controlling for sex, education, and political identification).

In Study 2, participants under cognitive load reported more conservative attitudes than their no-load counterparts.

In Study 3, time pressure increased participants’ endorsement of conservative terms.

In Study 4, participants considering political terms in a cursory manner endorsed conservative terms more than those asked to cogitate; an indicator of effortful thought (recognition memory) partially mediated the relationship between processing effort and conservatism.

Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases.

4 studies? That would be a bit much for the average rightwinger to absorb, no?

They seem incapable of conducting a rational discussion of the issue.


Which seems to indicate that the studies are correct.

Conservatives and liberals don't seem to agree about much, and they might not agree about recent studies linking conservatism to low intelligence and "low-effort" thinking.

The fact they are either spitting irrelevant horseshit on this subject or just sitting and looking like the dumbasses the studies indicate, I think it's all hilarious!!!!!!! Call me cruel.
