"misinformedness is strongly associated with a preference to Leave the EU, while the well-informed prefer to Remain...Those with low education and therefore low cultural capital are more likely to be receptive to divisive ideas."

As I suspected when I read the headline, the 'stupid' are the ones writing the article. They are too stupid to recognize their own biases. They conflate 'smart' with 'educated' and 'misinformed' with 'conservative'. In reality, with todays education system, the most highly educated are almost always the most misinformed. The authors are simply too stupid to notice this.

They are clearly unaware that acquiring a $200,000 student debt doesn't necessarily qualify someone well enough to even sweep the floor at a burger shop, much less write a news article.
