    • 2025 March 3, Frank Jacobs and Stephen Johnson, “The story behind the internet’s most viral (and misunderstood) political meme”, in Big Think[1], archived from the original on 19 March 2025:
      Arguably the most potent version of that meme merges the heatmaps with a multipurpose version of the IQ bell curve, populated with three “wojaks” on the stupid, middlebrow, and supersmart bits of that curve.
      The liberal heatmap is paired with the figure in the meaty middle of the graph, while the conservative one fits with the narrower extremes of the IQ spectrum.
