We all know the type of bottom-of-barrel dredge that fills his rallies: alcoholic deadbeats, meth heads, pridefully illiterate let alone uneducated. Racists, bigots.. Someone who ate one too many lead paint chips or sniffed that leaded gasoline.
Interestingly, studies by neuroscientists see remarkable distinguishing factors between liberals and conservstives. Conservatives have a larger amygdala, having a heightened sensitivity to disgust. They have a smaller cingulate cortex compared to liberals, reducing pattern recognition and maybe more importantly pattern dissonance.
Do you have a source for that? I would like to read about it.

Edit:
@WoahWoah points this out from the article, which I missed.
"Editor’s note: In 2020, researchers from universities in the Netherlands and the United States replicated Oxley’s and his team’s study and concluded that: “Our analyses do not support the conclusions of the original study, nor do we find evidence for broader claims regarding the effect of disgust and the existence of a physiological trait."
Nice of them to bury this editor's note 4/5ths of the way into the article lol
I wish I could see their full study — Paywalls hiding publicly-funded research... I just love it.
The next sentence further says, "Rather than studying unconscious responses as the ‘real’ predispositions, alignment between conscious and unconscious responses promise deeper insights in the emotional roots of ideology."
I'd need to see the study but it might suggest that there is indeed a subconscious difference in response but how that's mediated by other parts of the brain either remains the same or differs?
I apologize for missing that! I got really excited when I found that article because it seemed to cover it all so succinctly.
They're basically just saying they didn't find the same results and that using exclusively physiological responses to indicate "real" feelings is a dubious assumption. They're essentially calling for better studies that also involve reported cognition and sentiment ("conscious" responses).
That seems reasonable. It's weird that the article buried that so far into the summary though!
Understood, and I appreciate the clarification, but it does damage, or at least work against, the credibility of most of the body of the article, so I would likely not have used it if I'd noticed that as I went through.
Why would it damage most of the article? That was only a clarification on one study or subpoint.

You can watch video after video from those rallies and the ignorance of their attendees never fails to terrify.
In the linked video some older guy speaks about how Biden was replaced by a body double by the still sitting president 45 and he's secretly preparing the military to intervene next election. Another one thinks Biden will be executed on Trumps coming inauguration.
One attendee is confronted with Trumps ramblings on Truth Social about how he wants to terminate all rules, regulations and articles, even in the constitution and the guy is seriously baffled and promised to look into that. Hard to believe he was honest, considering everyone saw what happened on january the 6th 2021.
I recommend everyone to watch some of the work of Walter Masterson and Luke Beasly.
