Conservatism is as much about wisdom as it is intelligence.

Example: Choosing not to be disgruntled because someone else is more ‘wealthy’ than you.

Wisdom, though, is often confused with intelligence.

Nah. Example 1=GEOTUS and example 2=James Woods. I’m in research with some pretty high IQ folks who candidly support Trump. This midwit shit is hysterical though...they are like NPCs that can recall a couple more DNC talking points. I liken those “debates” to Von Kaiser instead of a Glass Joe kind of difficultly.

I'm not bullshitting numbers, I've been IQ tested properly twice in my life and my scores were 149 and 151. I remember because i'm a conceited little shit.

The smarter people get, the more likely they are to lean socialist but not because they are smart, but more because they are terribly arrogant. Imagine people telling you that you are smart your whole life. Then imagine someone presenting some issue, like the cost of education. There is some very real desire to opine about it, without understanding the reasons costs have gone up, or even understanding economics. You're smart! You probably can figure this out on the fly. And then you get some retarded "solution."

The other problem with high IQ people is they often follow the rules of their society to a T (I didn't say laws, just the rules of their social group. Hence Podesta can be a child molester but follow the rules.) They assume laws are like the rules for everyone and everyone follows them (and more specifically, their intended effect.) Smart people are lacking in empathy and cannot imagine people different from them.

This sort of conceit isn't just a smart people problem. Really anyone built up like that will have the same sort of attitude. For instance, a great athlete, or someone who actually had their parents raise them with everything they wanted. It's just that smart people are usually VERY good at some field so the validation never stops. You'll notice a lot of the popular atheists are usually accomplished in some field of science which leads them to try to talk about philosophy and religion with the same weight they carry in their respective fields.

Sorry for the ramble, but I have a lot of experience with the super smart types. The solution that works best I've found is religion. Reading the saints' diaries helped me. They never compared themselves to others except to put their flaws up against the most charitable description of the other person. They always compared themselves to God though and constantly saw their shortcomings. With that attitude you could be the smartest person on Earth and never be a socialist.

elitism isn't about how smart you are, it's about how smug you are while worshiping "authority"

lol Funny. Good analogy.

But i'm super smart and I'm good. I LOVE seeing clearly.
