Recent research has found that both IQ and genetic markers can predict political leanings towards liberalism and lower authoritarianism, suggesting our political views may be partly wired in our DNA.
Well, no shit, the entire strategy of conservativism at any point in history has been to prey on the dumbest demographic of humans and form them into a support base.

Except conservative Republicans led the abolition of slavery. The parties have flipped over time.
EDIT: republicans of the time were progressive. Democrats were conservatives “preying on the dumbest”.
Those were progressive Republicans. The party Lincoln started was progressive at the time.
The current Republican party is conservative, but that wasn’t always the case.
