Interestingly, the study found that nationality played an important role in determining the results. Since the UK was not among the countries studied, I'm staying out of this.
Depends on how you think. Do you believe people with low cognitive ability should be left behind? should we waste resources trying to nurture them? or should we help them allow them to have a say and even take part in politics even if they can't understand it or even pass a test? putting them in positions of power that could disrupt our own survival ? our countries survival? or maybe survival of our entire species?
FoMO is a difficult thing to navigate. everyones going to have a different opinion.
I believe the average for "Very politically active online" is dragged down by right wing boomers who post every dumb obvious lie they find in a meme on facebook.
I also don't necessarily believe conservatives are all dumb, just that their average is very weighed down by poorly educated fundamentalists.
