How come liberals are smart?

Funny then that so few of them are ever able to actually use facts in support of the nonsense that they constantly post here over and over isn't it?

You've got that backwards.

If you are smart enough to understand that rightwing fairytales don't hold water, becoming liberal/leftist is an obvious result.

Fairytales like

- capitalism is freedom/meritocracy

- homelessness is necessary to cure laziness

- a rising tide lifts all boats

- trickle-down works

- unemployment is always the unemployed's fault

Because if you tell a lie often enough to enough people, it becomes true. 

They aren't. They've been conditioned to think they are intellectuals and to forget that they possess no common sense. A simple test shows this; Tangle an extension cord up and give it to a group of liberals to untangle. It's actually fairly entertaining.

Its not a coincidence.  Liberals are not smart because they are liberals, they are liberals because they are smart. They do independent research and respect the facts, are educated and do not accept sound bites without fact checking. Since reality has a liberal bias, they naturally become liberals, because the facts prove that liberal platforms are based upon facts and conservative's based upon propaganda..clear to anyone that studies and reads a bit, beginning at adolescence.

Are they?  I never noticed that.

As an engineer, I feel stupid in a room filled with designers.

We care about the truth and we have well developed buIIshit detectors. That helps us avoid falling for fake news.
