Part of the justification for "republicans are dumb" is a fallacious use of the link between IQ and income. There's a correlation between IQ and income - smart people tend to earn more. But earning less does not make you dumb, especially when comparing across different areas with different standards of living. A while ago, a bunch of armchair statisticians took a map of average income of different counties and discovered that red counties earn less, and therefore must be dumb because if the IQ-income link. Completely ignoring the fact that rural counties tend to be red and rural areas have a much more affordable standard of living.
Just be aware of this because it's definitely going to come up again.
"Republicans are uneducated" comes from the arrogant attitude that because Democrats have degrees, and what not, that makes them smarter than everyone else. Point out that a degree awarded since about 1995 or so is nothing more than a credential any more, and you get righteous indignation back.
Never go along with the implied assumptions built into the far left pod person's unshakable belief in their own intelligence, and moral virtue. Neither are manifestly evident in the real world.
But women taught us that earning less makes you literally worth less as a partner and person. If you aren't earning more and gaining massive social status, you can't bang more women.
And that's the literal only metric of success in life isn't it?

Sounds to me like by their rules, conservatives are oppressed. Where's my reparations check?
