I mean, conservatism? Really? What's this gonna do besides cause a shit-storm?
I mean, going by my experience, most of the dumb people in my life tend to be social conservatives. And most of the smart ones are not. Of course, there are exceptions to that. I wouldn't know of the science behind this study, as I am not interested enough to really dig deep to find out. But it does match my experience, and the experience of many others I know.
What has your experience been?

Actually, I could be an enthusiastic Democrat on principle, if any elected Dems would join me.

Primary voting age is pretty high for both parties compared to general election, GOP a bit higher

The two tend to go together, though it is far from a hard and fast rule.

I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know.

Proving is something you do in maths, not science.

Yes. It is not very likely, though, since no measurement we have done so far indicates that it is so

As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain.

In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does.
