A study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences estimates that half of all Americans alive in 2015 were likely exposed to damaging levels of lead in their childhood. This exposure could have had a subtle but lifelong effect on people’s brain health, including lower IQ and cognitive function, the researchers say.

I'll politely request a change to the title. There's no good coming out of it.
Yeah, I know the title was meant to be facetious but I think it would be better to talk about lead exposure and the consequences without bringing partisan politics into it since it's just as likely that older liberals were exposed as much as older conservatives.
