low cognitive ability makes people more susceptible to misinformation and disinformation.

Perhaps that's why the Democrats and their lackey professors believe that cognitive abilities are racist.

Only the smart ones are fit to vote. How can you tell if they’re smart enough? Just ask them.

We’re supposed to forget that a huge reason for the vote to Brexit was the Muslim rapefugees and the Rotherham scandal.

Anyone who voted for leftist policies or the EU is a slobbering brain dead idiot.

Prove me wrong.

“Cognitive ability” = willingness to comply with authority.

Yawn, yet another “study” showing that the “smart” people swallow the party line.

Ho hum. A month or so ago, Alex Berenson had some data showing that compliance with covid-19 vax mandates/pressures was higher than average among the *moderately intelligent* but actually quite low among those of the *highest intelligence*. “Smart” people get ahead by following orders, being good little boys and girls and not questioning the system, but the smartest people are able to see through the b-lls—t.

The people who did this study should be careful. That crock is gonna run out of room soon and leave the bovine excrement running down the sides. They could get splashed.

Lol. Social Pseudoscientists again. The study results are written in advance.

What were the criteria? Simple. If you supported Brexit you were deficient. Makes the “study” easier.

lol - they’re drawing a conclusion about WHY they voted the way they did WITHOUT EVIDENCE. They’re ASSUMING it’s because of “misinformation and disinformation”. This is just classic liberal snobbery.

It doesn’t dawn on them for a moment that maybe THE WORKING CLASS is well aware that their lives were being made far more difficult by EU policies and voted accordingly. You know, like destroying fishing villages because the EU declares their waters to be off limits for them and to be taken over by other countries.

Heaven forbid they see with their own eyes that life is harder, their bank accounts are more stressed...and see all the BS the EU was mandating to their country, like immigration. No, it had to be because they “didn’t know what was best for them” and that they listened to ‘misinformation’.

Such arrogance. This is nothing more than “we’re more educated, speak more clearly, and assume ourselves superior” as to why they voted for the EU, anyone else must be ‘stupid’.

“Let them eat cake...”

I suspect that Brexit designers was worried that the university types would see through the scam and vote to leave so they tailored their propaganda to those who think very well of themselves educationally. They were then blindsided by the rest of the nation who saw through the Brexit propaganda and voted to leave.
Now all they have left is to heap contempt on those who out witted them, deeming them the ‘lower orders’. Creepy that it sounds like justification for screening those folks out next time.

“Susceptibility to misinformation and disinformation likely to have played part in Leave vote.”


But did it play a part in the Remain vote?

The University of Bath’s School of Management can't understand how the people that voted Leave didn't fall for the media lies about Brexit.  They are sure the Leave vote is caused by low cognitive ability but at the same time they probably believed media misinformation (Hoax) about the Steele  dossier.
