> [@eenerms](#): > > Hells bells everyone a Nazi for you right? I’m no a shitty person but who are you? Charming you are not! Hey that wasn’t a goofy take at all. Um, I was making a pretty straightforward observation that your comparson of Pres. Fannypack’s hypocrisy to those other actual statesmen (well half statesman in Bush) is simply plain fucking stupid, but hey feel free to continue flailing irrelevantly. But yes I do concede that my lack of charm in the pit could use a little Bon Ami. ---

> [@monotom](#): > > "Science has unequivocally shown that the conservative brain has an exaggerated fear response when faced with stimuli that may be perceived as threatening. A classic study in the journal Science found that conservatives have a stronger physiological reaction to startling noises and graphic images compared to liberals. A brain-imaging study published in Current Biology revealed that those who lean right politically tend to have a larger amygdala — a structure that is electrically active during states of fear and anxiety. And a 2014 fMRI study found that it is possible to predict whether someone is a liberal or conservative simply by looking at their brain activity while they view threatening or disgusting images, such as mutilated bodies. Specifically, the brains of self-identified conservatives generated more activity overall in response to the disturbing images. > > So how does this help explain the unbridled loyalty of Trump supporters? These brain responses are automatic, and\*\* not influenced by logic or reason. \*\*" > > From [here](https://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/a-neuroscientist-explains-what-may-be-wrong-with-trump-supporters-brains/) So being a conservative/liberal is a little bit like being gay/straight? People are predisposed? Are you sure there might not be a cause effect reversal there? Like people become conservative and it affects how they react to stimuli? ---

We present evidence that variations in political attitudes correlate with physiological traits. Supposedly the full text is available for free, but one would have to register at one of the two sites to retrieve it, which I did not. So the results of a scientific study published for peer review specifically state which is cause and which is effect. ---
