Has been posted many times, Pelosi ea encouraging people to go out on the streets and protest, they were very well aware of the consequences and therefore got blood on their hands.

Now keep acting like this is not the case, it just shows what kind of crooks you guys really are.

Democrats incited violent insurrection / looting / arson all over the US. Then act like they're saints and Trump is the boogey man. Bunch of shitlords


Even if I assume what you said is 100% true (which it isn't) that doesn't support your claim.

Maybe do some thinking about why you have to constantly tell lies.

You're lying scum, not me. It's so abundantly obvious what the democrats did, they rallied the people under false pretenses to go out on the streets, their only goal to destabilize the Trump administration and not caring a bit about the consequences like looting / arson that they knew was going to happen.

Saying they're shitlords doesn't do this any justice, glad you guys came up with the hateful idea to start hanging people, now get on with it

Ever notice that younger conservatives just always come off as nasty people?
They just seem angry, mean spirited and nasty in general.

Yeah, it's kinda unfortunate. Like, young liberals can be smug, condescending, etc. but young conservatives are just nasty and generally much more malicious.

That's true of conservatives in general though. More emotionally motivated, especially by fear, anger and disgust. (This is what the science says, not my opinion) So that evolves as personal slights and malicious attacks on the out-group.

Got a source? I know that studies have shown conservatives to be more motivated than liberals by particular emotions, like fear, anger and disgust which you already mentioned. But the blanket statement that "conservatives are generally more motivated by emotion" is new to me.

I've posted the sources at least a dozen times and it's 6 a.m. here. I'll give you some brief descriptions.

Give a group of people political poll. Sort them on a spectrum of conservative to liberal. Show them pictures of nice things, show them pictures of bad things. Ask them to describe their responses. Conservatives have a stronger negative response to negative pictures, focused around fear, anger, and disgust. Repeat the experiment but with the participants hooked up to an FMRI and conservatives elicit more response in the amygdala, which deals with emotional memory and especially fear and disgust. Show pictures of immigrants and people in poor areas and the like, liberals register a stronger compassion and frontal lobe response, conservatives register a stronger disgust and amygdala response. Jury is still out on if it's an innate biological thing, where your genes influence the more active part of the brain, or if it's learned, or what age it's learned by if so. Response is very robust and has been repeated many times.

Sort people into groups, give them an arbitrary identifier. Ask them to assign others arbitrary scores. Conservatives have a stronger preference for others who have identifiers in common, even when they are arbitrarily assigned.

Now my favorite, because it was super relevant to Trump vs Obama. Show a conservatives somebody of the same race versus a different race. Both groups get the same vague statement. Conservatives tend to assign the same-race person more favorable interpretations of the same statement.

Anyway, there's a lot of literature on the subject and it's an interesting read. Conservative preference for in-group, stronger disgust and fear response, and more activity in the amygdala has been repeated many times.

All interesting stuff, and I knew about some of it - but none of these experiments or studies proves your previous statement that conservatives are more driven by emotion than liberals. I dont deny that conservatives are driven more by feelings like disgust, and that they exhibit a stronger bias or hostility toward out-groups. They are clearly driven by different emotions than liberals. But again: this does not imply that they are more emotional than liberals. That's a significantly stronger, more far-reaching statement, and I want to see evidence before accepting it as a fact.
