It's funny. I guess our brains are different than Republicans. Do you hear us harkin

Back to GWB days? Reagan days. Searching for fault? Incensed with anger? And I think of their side. They are still carrying on about Bill Clinton! One of the most successful presidencies in the modern era. And they go on and on about President Obama... By all accounts a leader found once in a generation.

BUT we can’t even deign to criticize this POS they installed in our capital! Oh no! We are political! We are biased! We are divisive!

Well fuck THEM! I’ve had more than enough of their “model” leader!

So frustrated. And a bit scared honestly.

Results of fMRIs done on progressives and conservatives and there were definitive differences between brain function. The conclusion suggests conservatives have a stronger response to fear for one thing. Here's an abstract of just one of many studies:

They, rich and poor alike, believe that the 'strongest' will survive.

I have a vision of desperate right-wingers, clambering over the rotting corpses and dried bones of fellow humans, just to reach the top of the pile - to find there's nothing there.

they think we worship our leaders like they do theirs. They don't understand what real leadership is, so they fall for guys who are loud and boisterous who bark out orders and treat people like shit.
