New Study Shows Conservatives Are More Gullible Than Liberals

Before the influx of right-wingers start shouting "conspiracy" and 'liberal bias", I'd just like to say that this study was published in the Scientific Journal and was performed by researchers at the University of Georgia, so it's legit.[spoiler][i]The good thing about science is that it's true whether you believe in it or not. [/i] Neil Degrasse Tyson[/spoiler]Enjoy.

      The study says that two groups of people were given BS statements that were syntactically correct Of the Republicans (esp those who supported Marco, Cruz or Trump), the group called BS at a higher rate than Liberals (O'Malley, Hillary and Bernie) Of the Liberal group, they found BS at rates that weren't even statistically relevant or significant... The journal disagrees with you

      • Too bad this article is completely fake... You think someone's going to believe that the BRS is an actual thing?

        • Honestly, it makes sense. I've been saying for years that Conservatives are slightly worse than Liberals and this only confirms it. Nowadays everyone wants to be a puss and say, [i]Ohh both are equally bad[/i], when that's just not accurate.

          • How do you think Trump rose to power? He is not religious at all but he touts religion. He hires foreign workers over Americans and outsources his manufacturing then talks about how Americans should have more jobs. He conspired with Hilary and donated money to her and now says he hates her (lol). He told the NYT that his whole wall idea is fake and yet people still believe him. He claims he will deport 11 million immigrants which is actually unfeasible and impossible to do. Anyone who believes him is a gullible fool who probably also thinks the moon is made of cheese.

              New study shows that links to internet studies are, more often than not, biased garbage. Especially when political in nature.

              • Yeah, science is so true that is why it changes so often... no science is for the most part fact which is based off of laws which are true.

                • The article specifies republicans and democrats, you specified conservatives vs liberals. OP confirmed Fgt and bad troll.

                • Anything (including something intentionally bs) is profound if you put enough thought and extrapolation into it. It's better to have the capacity for those things than not, eh?

                • Explain to me how you can prove one group of people is more gullible than the other? By lying to them and seeing if they believe you or not lol?

                    • I know this isnt true based on the fact a large portion of liberals tend to be younger demographic which is generally more gullible than the older demo. Older people have wisdom gained through expierence. Older people tend to be more conservative Seriously just take off your blinders for a moment. Liberals are the retards always protesting and getting upset over dumb shit. "Oh some white cop shot a black guy waving a gun?!? Let me act like I give a damn" Conservatives just......live and want things to stay the same. Not to mention Liberals are brainwashed on a much larger scale than conservatives. This does cause them to be more gullible. They believe everything the news tells them without doing any research. I used to be a brainwashed liberal. I voted and supported Obama like none other years ago. Eventually you grow out of it. You realize shit isnt free, everyone deserves an opinion, and that minorities arent helpless little beings who are always the victim to the great white opression With that rant aside, yes liberals are more gullible.

                      • You mean like all those feminists who pissed themselves and posted images of it? I mean, yeah, conservatives may be idiots, but liberals have SJWs and feminists, so you have no room to speak.

                        • I don't feel like reading the whole thing myself to check if it's an elaborate troll or not so I'm just gonna ask. OP, why would you post this for any reason beside political b8 (and bad b8 at that)?
