Taller people are more likely to be conservative than shorter people.

If you don't control for gender, shorter people are almost certainly more liberal.

Good point. I would add that even controlling for it, tall people tend to be respected more subconsciously, and so on the aggregate probably have more investment in the status quo.

This guy posts should be treated as f[inks]in' gospel. He wins the thread. Well, beyond the fact that Napoleon being short was like Einstein suffering from dyscalculia. Both being fake news.

Of course while there are many tall liberals (much of the forum, myself included), tall people are disproportionately whiter, maler, and wealthier, so shorts are definitely liberal to answer the Q.

The only demographic trend (WEAKLY, like half an inch) that is correlated with height and liberalism at the same time would be age.

Probably no significant correlation if you adjust for all of those variables.
