It might be, but I guarantee you that there’s a not insignificant number of people who align with the left who are dumb as rocks and just happened to fall into that party instead.
If there’s some study proving that uneducated or unintelligent people are only ever exclusively on the right and the left is just full of geniuses, I haven’t seen it.
