Being intelligent might correlate with a more liberal outlook, but I know a few highly intelligent people who are big fans of trump.

My father was a nuclear reactor operator and electrician for a big chunk of his 22 years in the Navy (EM-N, E-8, worked mostly on fast attack subs). He was a manager at multiple nuclear powerplants on the East Coast before leaving that industry. He's honestly highly intelligent and curious.

He's definitely a trump fan. He thinks Biden is going to destroy the US. Dude's politics are unhinged.

One of my siblings is disabled, bi, and trans, yet both of my parents supported trump openly in 2016.

C'est la vie. It goes to show you never can tell.
