Imagine growing up in a household that shit talked Republicans hardcore, and then 12 years after leaving home finding out that dad is a Trump supporter 😮💨
Did he hit his head? The lead kick in?
I’m only half joking. I had a neighbor who I used to describe as slightly conservative-leaning. He suffered a brain injury on the job and is now a full tilt QAnon MAGA goofball.
There are several studies that clearly show political conservatism is legit brain damage. It’s insidious too because their afraid of everything including admitting they have a problem so they never get help.
Are you talking about the one showing conservatives tend to have an underdeveloped sense of empathy, or are there other studies?
That’s part of it, also their brains have actual scar tissue and they have enlarged amygdalae so they’re in a constant state of fear.
