A little while ago I posted an article on Facebook that talked about the fact that liberal people tend to be more intelligent and higher educated than conservative people. I remember hearing about this in high school and in Political Science lectures in college, so I knew it was the tendency and I posted it to get a rise out of some really conservative people I know. (Key words here are “tend” and “tendency,” as anyone could think of some good exceptions, maybe even my FB friends.) The question I had never asked was why?
This came up as a result of the Trump election, of course, in reminding my conservative Facebook friends that the destruction of education in the USA has led to an idiot being elected. It was a little bit of a sour grapes move on my part, as I was pretty disappointed in mankind for a few days there, and will probably be again for long stretches of the next four years. Data from the election shows this education tendency clearly: voters without higher education voted more than two to one for Trump. People who earned over $100k, the business elite, billionaires? They favoured Clinton 20 to one!
First I found a simple definition of what the difference was between liberal and conservative people: conservatives look after themselves and don’t want to give or receive any help from others or society. Liberals want to help others and make social safety nets that don’t allow anyone – in theory – to starve. The reason the liberal way of thinking is a product of intelligence is that it goes beyond the caveman mentality of hoarding your stuff. Liberal thinking isn’t natural, it’s learned and reflects man’s progress in becoming a social creature. We have advanced to the point now where we don’t have to leave the old and the sick on the trail to be eaten by predators.

I don’t mean to insult anyone. Fact is, I have some conservative tendencies myself. I think there is a stratum of society that uses the safety net as a way of life, getting fed and housed without actually having to go earn it. Maybe parasites are just a fact of nature? But I do lean liberal for the most part, even though in the parlance of the conservative I am no doubt a cowardly, frail communist who whines a lot. Not really, but I have been reading a lot of internet “discussions,” all of which immediately deteriorate into profanity and name calling. Liberals are cry-babies and conservatives are Nazis – and internet trolls are ready to pounce.
This is a topic that has probably been elaborated on in full length books, so my little overly-simple explanation is practically a stick figure drawn in crayon by comparison. It is, however, the answer to a question I should have asked a long time ago.
