What's the reason so many astrology buffs vote Democrat? Their smarts?
Oh please. You're going to equate that to the racism, sexism, religiosity, nationalism, homophobia, climate denial of the Republican party?
Religiosity yes. In fact, it's worse than religion.
There is nothing wrong with "nationalism." That's just the identification with one's own nation and its interests. So what? Now white nationalism or black nationalism - that's bad, because it suggests a nation based on a race.
And if you talk to most on the left, anyone is racist just for being Republican. You don't even have to hold a racist belief. They declare policy views to be racist. Against Obamacare? Racist. Against illegal immigration? Racist.

No one said there weren't any stupid Democrats. But the GOP is where you find the proper weapons-grade stupidity. Democrat stupidity tends to be reactor-grade, and there is far less of it, and it tends to be far less harmful.
The comparison was that the Democrats were smarter than the Republicans.
Democrat stupidity includes an overall view that socialism is good, and economically sound. There is far more belief in the paranormal, astrological, and various absurd nonsense like crystals, homeopathy, and anti-GMO nonsense.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
