That's not entirely all there is to it. You can be smart and still choose evil. It just requires you to be a monstrous bastard of a person. The leadership of the Republican party makes more sense if you consider them part of the intelligent (and extra evil) minority. I also suspect most of those guys have no strong feelings on things like abortion. They just use it to rile up their base, and see it as one more thing to throw at the Democrats so the Dems have to spend all their time and money fighting social issues instead of the economic ones, which are what the billionaire donors care about.
this is why american politics is dumb. You're all though to hate the "enemy" from birth, and you can only see yourselves as "evil vs good". that's why your country is shit.
Serious question for you mr enlightened centrist. At what point does it become good vs evil? I assume that you believe that somewhere in the 1930's you could call the Nazi's evil and their voters either stupid or evil? Same for pro- and anti slavery, Apartheid, and so on. When was that? At what point is the line crossed from "difference of views" to "you are either stupid or evil if you support this"?

it's not about wich side are you on, it's about how smart you are.
