Perfect opening for something I’ve been wondering about for the last few days. When I meet someone who’s obviously intelligent, I’m not able to predict with any certainty whether they classify themselves as a Republican or a Democrat. But when I meet someone who’s obviously ignorant … 90 percent of the time they identify as a Republican (this observation excludes anyone under the age of 18). Why is that? And I’m actually being serious here, not just a smart aleck like I usually am.
Question: Can you guess a person’s politics upon a first meeting?
