Boring Statistical Extract

This was pimped to us as "scientific proof that Democrats are smarter than Republicans." Well, sure, but we thought they were joking around. We didn't know there was solid statistical evidence.

The divide between Republicans and Democrats in America continues to grow. And it isn't just about politics. The division is also between rich and poor, between those with college educations and those without. On average, Republican communities have lower incomes and less education than Democratic communities. And those differences are growing as people migrate.

To the advantage of the Donkey ShowParty, it can be assumed. Yep. 

People with fewer money-making skills are moving into counties that are voting increasingly Republican. Those with higher incomes (and more education) are moving into counties that are voting more Democratic. The more lopsided the local political victory, the greater the differences in income and education. [...] We don't pretend to understand the full meaning of how this country is dividing. We can see, however, that America is becoming more polarized not only politically but also educationally and economically—and that a country Balkanized by skills and by income has more troubles than one that is simply divided by votes.

Nothing but trouble ahead. That goofy Russki academician two items down may well be correct after all.
