Yup, about a third of the population is governed by their reptilian brain. They're ruled by fear and anxiety, rather that rationality. Anything that's new, "different," or they just don't understand, scares the shit out of them. It's why the GOP's incessant fear-mongering has always worked on them. It's why fundamentalist religion is so prevalent among them, as well. Hold the threat of eternal damnation over their heads, and you can get them to do anything you say.
