Liberals love starting sentences with “studies show …”, so here’s one just for them: Studies show that conservatives tend to be more thoughtful, analytical and optimistic, while liberals are more impulsive, emotional and depressed.
Here’s another one: Studies show that conservatives tend to be more charitable with their own money and liberals tend to be more selfish.
So why would anyone hew to a political view that is self-destructive on a personal as well as societal level? Because studies also show that liberals are far more likely to follow their peers, even over a cliff.
