Do I need an ethical argument to have a bacon cheeseburger now? Is that what some of you are saying?

Also not to mention that Liberalism and Conservatism themselves are very subjective. People claim to be one or the other, but each one is different from the next.

Actually, the only one that was a lot of reading was the second one that you linked
So far, it's an incredibly interesting read, but nowhere do I make the conclusion "Democrats are smarter than Republicans" as you so kindly outed not long ago
Cognitive reactions differ between those identifying with Liberalism and Conservatism.
Apparently, according to your second source, those mostly associating with Liberalism happen to lean toward risk-taking, which, obviously, would not ideally be the same for those who are more Conservative.
It also doesn't say (although you imply) the activity from the amygdala is solely based around fear, but emotional responses in general. There is no record of pin-pointing specific-emotional reactions.
Also, I actually believe the environmental factors of one's life play the biggest part of what someone believes and the way in which the brain reacts. This is because, as you probably know, the biggest time for brain development is during the childhood stages. Growth and thought is undoubtedly effected by the way in which children are raised.
The point I am trying to make is that not all of the people who claim to be Liberals or Conservatives fit like like puzzle pieces into the puzzle you're trying to fabricate.
Sure, maybe very vaguely you are correct, but I do not see it as perfectly valid.
I agree. There are no smart people or dumb people, there are only people who earn different amounts of money.

it has been scientifically proven that conservative minded people have larger amygdalas which produces fear and liberal minded people have a larger amount of grey matter which allows for logical thinking.
Libertarians have the highest iq
iq is probably one of the dumbest measurement standards ever created.
Its a good representation of intelligence in wealthy countries. I'm sorry that if something contradicts with your narrative its stupid.
Fam don't waste your breath
He's one of the most stubbornly condescending dudes on this website

I say it's fine because it's normal animal nature to hunt and eat
typical republican.
you don't realize that we are breeding them to kill them and eat them. we are literally enslaving lesser animals in order to eat them.
disgusting.
Is this sarcasm? I thought your other post was sarcasm, but this really sounds like sarcasm too. I mean, I just have to assume that whenever someone makes nasty generalizations about whole groups of people but generally has the brainpower to write proper sentences and use big words like "disgusting," they are being sarcastic, unless they spent their whole life just learning to be convincing so they can spread their stupidity at a faster rate, and I don't think the latter description matches you.
I mean, you're right about what we as a species are doing, and since it's totally unnecessary for survival at this point I'd consider lifelong torture and mass-murder wrong regardless of the mental capabilities of the victims, but the way you said it makes me think you're being sarcastic, because I'm assuming you, Satan, are intelligent enough to conclude on your own that neither democrats nor republicans are collectively particularly horrible or disgusting by the low standards of human beings, and that calling people disgusting because of conflicting viewpoints is almost as stupid as me typing up this longpost about whether you're being sarcastic in response to obvious sarcasm.
I am assuming you do not, in fact, have a view on the subject, and/or that you are mocking both of the aggressive extremes of the debate, rather than one over the other.
This is such a republican thing to say.
Only republicans use the term "Republican". The rest of us call them "pubs"

if only harambe was alive, i would vote for him. i might still write his name on a ballot.
As someone from Cincinnati i can declare that you aren't allowed to use that joke, only our people are aloud to say his name.
as someone who works in a zoological setting i am allowed to use that joke. thank u v much.
Smh this is just like man who took a gender studies class telling a woman what to do with her body.
no it isnt, ur thinking of republicans
I fail to see what political ideology has to do with studying something and being arrogant about it. I would actually say this is a trait most liberal fall into.
oh man ur right its the republicans who drop out of college
