Dhont and Hodson believe they have an answer to this, again one based on rigorous abundant evidence. Their theory is that right-wing ideologies attract people with lower mental abilities because they minimize the complexity of the world. Right-wing ideologies offer well-structured and ordered views of society, views that preserve traditions and norms, so they are especially attractive to those who are threatened by change and want to avoid uncertainty and ambiguity. Conversely, smart people are more capable of grasping a world of nuance, fluidity and relativity.
The empirical evidence supports this link, too. Low intelligence and “low effort thinking” are strongly linked to right-wing attitudes, including authoritarianism and conservative politics. And again, there appears to be a demonstrable causal link: Studies have found, for example, that children with poor mental skills grow up to be strongly right-wing adults.

Wikipedia needs to be boycotted. It is full of insane extreme-leftist propaganda and xenophobia. I was an active Wikipedia editor from 2006 to 2011. I have more than 125 new article creations and 10,000 edits to my name. But after 2010, the Wikipedia was increasingly being controlled by organized cabals. Truth is being dumped in favor of political correctness.
