LINK Liberals and Conservatives React in Wildly Different Ways to Repulsive Pictures
Not too long ago I recall research saying the conservatives and liberals have different "wiring" and here's an unexpected manifestation of it. Introducing ... with tongue only partly in cheek ... "disgustology". Maybe this will help political conservatives and liberals understand each other a little better.

It’s an interesting article, and no doubt there is at least some connection between the disgust factor and political opinions. But I think there’s a lot more to conservatism than going to church, homophobia, opposition to immigration, and racial prejudice. That characterization represents a stereotype IMO.
What about loyalty to your country, a belief in hard work. fiscal responsibility, and a limited government with personal responsibility and freedom. It’s hard to associate the disgust factor with those traits.
I do think the studies help explain why certain people are the way they are—very insightful and valuable knowledge. Thanks for posting.

Thank you!
Thank you, great article that I would not sign up to see.
what i need explained to me is not how conservatives and liberals are different, or even how they are alike, but why we still persist in calling regressives "conservatives" when they are most definitely not that. they call themselves that, but some madmen call themselves napoleon, so that proves nothing. there really are no conservatives anymore, just regressives.
that being said, i am not a medium member and thus cannot read this article.
