How much are we Dems fighting against biology in this election?
Rethugs are running their campaign on cultic beliefs,conspiracy theories,fear,domination, and hate . They are directly exploiting the biological differences found in republican brains.
Dems are appealing to liberal brains with
the tolerance of ambiguity, embracing differences
having hope ,diversity..and honesty, human rights, empathy and integrity.
How much of what we Dems are up against in fighting to oust trump is found in the structure of rethuglican brain?
I wonder as these differences remain biologically will it lead to the country being forever divided? Sometimes less divided or more divided ,but always irrevocably divided.
I wonder if it might be better to give rethugs the south and liberals get the north and coasts? Lol.
I don't know if that would fix anything .But it's an interesting thought considering the brain differences.
Because if the science bears out these differences,maybe biology plays a bigger part in the conflict currently dividing America.
Liberals and rethugicans have differences in brain structure.

(12,463 posts)Maybe that's part of the deep divide in our country.
If people's brains are different,politically, we will be locked in the back and forth bullshit forever and fascism will always be a threat.
Their racist hate bullshit speaks to this insane need to have more kids than others too.
Just a thought I'm throwing out here...
Look at the rethugs theocratic birth cults like
the quiverfulll movement. There are many others..
What if the conservatives know breeding more conservatives and making tons of kids,actually know if they breed like rabbits thier children will number to out vote liberals one day and they can have thier intolerance to ambiguity ,thier fear and hate codified into a government run by people who share thier brain differences.
The conservatives know
maybe unconsiously at best,fully aware at worst
that thier brain type must find a way to prevail over liberal brains because thier brain demands black and white simplity and fears assuaged and hate justified.
It's what they are
Also I think their rabid pro birth stance reflects this too.
