Within Whites liberals have superior vocabularies to conservatives. Republicans scored 5 IQ points higher than Democrats on ASVAB among Whites and Hispanics in 2008. Modern White Republicans score 3-4 vocabulary points below White Democrats. White Trump voters score 5 IQ points below White Clinton voters. Social conservatism correlates with lower intelligence but economic conservatism with higher intelligence. Pro-unrestricted immigration belief correlates most strongly with intelligence. Republican IQ declined as immigration views diverged from Democrats since late 2000s. Leftist dominance of universities and media predates any right-wing IQ deficit. Cultural explanations fail for major racial IQ and status differences. Non-genetic environmental explanations like lead or education also fail for racial IQ gaps. Hispanics smoke and divorce less than Whites despite higher psychopathology and lower IQ. Genetic explanations best account for persistent racial differences in success. Promoting hereditarian race realism politically failed in 1969, 1994, and alt-right era. Public hereditarian belief dropped to 5% despite stronger evidence like polygenic scores. Blacks and Hispanics reject HBD for emotional reasons.
