2 3rds of Trump voters had annual household incomes above the median, which’s about 50 grand.
I was unable to access the first link.
The second link just said conservatives tend to feel more fear and disgust, not that they’re talentless.
Maybe liberals are good with artsy and nerdy things, and conservatives are good with their hands and socializing.
I don’t believe conservatives are some kind of lower life form.
Well I don’t think I’m a narcissist and it won’t work on me, because I base my beliefs on my research, reason, experience and gut.
What a, b or c group thinks and how smart they (supposedly) are is of quinary importance.
Government is perfectly capable of being corrupt on its own, without the influence of private corporations, see the Soviet Union, altho megacorporations certainly don’t help things.
While democracy can help keep government in check, only if the people vote smart, which they seldom do, and the votes are tallied correctly, which they may seldom be.
All other things being equal or unknown, the smarties.
History is full of conspiracy, people, especially the wealthy and powerful, always plot and scheme, but maybe that’s just my paranoid-conservative brain talking, maybe we should just have global dictatorship, things will work out.
You’re right, my common sense barometer must need adjusting.
Overall, conservatives probably fear more.
Liberals and conservatives probably differ in what they fear too.
I don’t identify as conservative…not that there’s anything wrong with fear, it’s situational, like anything.
I’m conservative on some things, liberal on some things, and libertarian on others, I don’t follow groups, I don’t try to fit in, if anything I’d rather stand out.
For example when it comes to abortion and the environment, I’m very liberal, when it comes to big business, I’m very liberal, but when it comes to small business, I’m very libertarian, I’d like to see more regulation of big business and less of small.
I wonder how else conservatives and liberals differ emotionally, and cognitively?
Are conservatives also more angry, is that why they’re tougher on crime?
Are they labelers, are they more discriminating?
