    There's a reason for that, and remarkably, it's a matter of brain structure:



    Which is probably why it's possible to whip up conservatives into a frenzy of fear and anger against the people identified as different, but not so easy for liberal demagogues to do it to their followers.
    And yet they seemed to have found a way. It was unheard of for someone to be attacked for wearing a pro-Obama shirt or the like but it is increasingly common for folks to be physically assaulted for wearing a MAGA hat or the like. Tea Party demonstrations were noted for being orderly and free of violence whereas left wing protests generally are marked by violence and rioting.

      Yeah, not sure what planet he's living on. I see far more argument from emotion coming from progressives than conservatives; on the conservative side, it tends to come from the fringe, not from the full spectrum as on the left. It's not the right who vandalized property when their side lost the presidency or has refused to accept the results of a presidential election for 2 years and counting, or needed safe space because they lost. One can abuse soft science in all sorts of ways to make it say what one wants to say when one is invested in the outcome.
