Left-wing mag’s study to find most tolerant U.S. county backfires big time

By Jon Dougherty

Liberals and Lefties are fond of reminding Americans often about how ‘tolerant’ and ‘accepting’ they are, mostly because they’re more educated than most conservative, knuckle-dragging rubes and just ‘understand stuff’ better.

With this in mind, no doubt the Left-wing magÂ The Atlantic was driven by confirmation bias when it commissioned a study recently to find which counties in America were the most intolerant.

Lo and behold, what they found no doubt shocked their sensibilities — not that it’s going to change any Leftists’ behavior anytime soon, though.

The magazine found that the most politically and culturally intolerant country in the country was filled with closed-minded liberals from in and around Boston:

[T]he most politicallyÂ intolerantÂ county in America appears to be Suffolk County, Massachusetts, which includes the city of Boston. In this part of the country, nine out of every 10 couples appear to share the same partisan leaning, according to the voter-file data.Â Â Eight out of every 10 neighborhoods are politically homogeneous. This means that people in Boston may have fewer “cross-cutting relationships,” as researchers put it.Â Â It is a very urban county with a relatively high education level.Â Â All these things tend to correlate with partisan prejudice.
