It was a faux pas, for sure. But they are more like "vulnerables" first, who want a big daddy to tell them what to do. I am afraid God and Religion appear to produce vulnerables who are easy to bilk and easy targets for sexual abuse because they give their power away without critical thinking. Vulnerables are perfect targets for power seeking narcissists like trump and hitler to use very specific, authoritarian, "grooming tactics" upon. trump's rallies right from the start demonstrated he was a baby fascist seeking total power over "his people." When he is truly a very weak and empty vessel thanks to lack of good parenting and love. Vulnerables seek the safety of being part of a group...it could be church and safe or it could be the Proud Boys or the KKK where they feel empowered and strong but full of hatred and fear of the Other. It is maddening to have grown up with those kinds of men and to see them still operating freely in the open, intent on destroying nations and the earth. Kick them off the planet. A free, one way ride to Mars.
Research has been done on the differences between conservative and liberal brains.
This is a quote from a Scientific American article, October 26, 2020:
"On the whole, the research shows, conservatives desire security, predictability and authority more than liberals do, and liberals are more comfortable with novelty, nuance and complexity."
I've agreed with that overview since I first heard similar evaluations, even before 2020. (I'm just finishing up Thom Hartmann's "Cracking the Code. How to Win Hearts, Change Minds and Restore America's Original Vision.")
Excellent post and excellent description of these people who really lack self esteem. They get it from feeling superior to others and to show empathy of any kind would be unmanly. This same goes for women with this mentality. They get their self esteem from some male and/or once again feeling superior because they are white or they are "Christian" and have a special relationship with God. They are all nauseating.
I like your thinking Pensa_VT. Vulnerables so appropriate. Be careful when you swim out to save them they don’t grab on to you to drown with them as their ship has already sunk.

There are actual differences in brain structure.

"hierarchical world belief" explained 20 times more variance in political ideology than "dangerous world belief".
Nailed it.

Well said gang mentality.
