Why do liberals and conservatives disagree about just about everything?
Is it possible we are simply two different species?
While I'll take the research described below with the requisite grain of salt, nonetheless, I wonder:
WASHINGTON — Everyone knows that liberals and conservatives butt heads when it comes to world views, but scientists have now shown that their brains are actually built differently.
Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear, said the study on Thursday in Current Biology.

Interesting. Robert Altemeyer of the University of Manitoba has published a number of books about Right Wing Authoritarianism.
Our world view is very much shaped by our reaction to authority and it may indeed be related to our genes.
Don't argue with trolls.

Also, another study pointed to IQ. Liberals tend to be over 105 and conservatives below 97. Small words and fewer syllables are necessary for messaging...
I would hazard to guess that the smarter of the dimwits(Cons) exploit the others and scare the bejeezus out of them while liberals tend to discuss issues and sell thingds based on facts.
Our country is currently being run by assholes supported by half wits.
