If you listen to this program:

http://www.onbeing.org/program/jonathan-haidt-the-psychology-behind-morality/6341

the researcher explains how the difference between republicans and Democrats is more a matter of personality type.

I listened to it twice because it was so interesting. Republicans like things neat and orderly, while Democrats are quite comfortable with chaos.

Think of the art that Hitler, the ultimate reich winger, liked and what he considered degenerate art.
