Iā€™m gonna have me a Brawndo and tequila before bed.

From that New York Times article:

What drives these differences? Simple partisanship is one possibility. On average, Republicans - and Republican men in particular - were more likely to correctly locate North Korea than Democratic men. And Republicans were more likely to be in favor of almost all the diplomatic solutions posed by the researchers. (Women tended to find North Korea at similar rates, regardless of party.)

It seems strange to me that Democratic men would fail harder at this than Republican men, or that Republicans are more likely to favour diplomatic solutions (considering the sabre-rattling going on with Murica-yeah! Airstrikes! Invasions!)

I was under the impression that Democrats value education more than Republicans (see Betsy DeVos) - I can identify every nation on Earth on an unmarked political map with my high school education.
