They're only Democrats because Republicanism is now associated with low IQ, anti-intellectual, anti-education, fat, fundie Christian, poorly dressed, small vocabulary poor people from Alabama.

If there were a right-wing party in America that catered to high IQ, cognitive elitist, pro-education, secular, thin, well dressed, well read, well travelled rich and educated people who play lacrosse and wear J Crew, they would consider joining that party.
