Or well spoken. It's amazing how intelligent you sound when you talk good.

I have the opposite problem. I speak western Pennsylvanian. "There's patches of slippy ice down by the crick."

Reminds me of the YouTube video where participants had to rank each others intelligence. And the person who sorta took a leadership role in the socializing ended up being lower and some of the more jar-head types were pretty high if not highest.

In many cases, both. But there are a few that didn't go to higher education.

You're applying a logically fallacy here.

For every vocal critic there are many more tolerant silent critics.

I.e. your sample is skewed if you think about the people who "hate" the other side.

Instead you need to sample the entire population the most tolerant won't even be voting or keeping an eye on politics.

Please note, Ive only read the title not the article. I'm just that damn high IQ and tolerant.
