Fun fact: A study was done that apparently showed that the parts of the brain responsible for empathy are smaller on average in Republicans than the rest of the population.
That has to correlate with some environmental factor right?
Like lead does that, but there are enough 90s kids in their 30s who still support facism to make me question if it is lead.
Great question, because I had the same thought.
I think there's a "nurture" factor in here, where people who grow up in "conservative" households, grow up benefiting from the status quo/without real hardships, or are just generally insulated from diverse groups of people when they're young are more likely to hold "conservative" beliefs. Because one of the biggest fighters against bigotry is simply meeting people with different lived experiences than yours.
