It'll be interesting to see how much election fraud these goons allow / commit in the next big election, assuming they are even able to figure out how to hold one

View attachment 192461

In the middle of a book on human behavior which spent a chapter discussing the psychological difference between conservatives and liberals and how/why they come to their conclusions, specifically why conservative regularly vote against for issues they do not agree with and why they vote against their best interest. The conclusion was that it justifies/explains their position in the world. If you are a dumb fuck and vote for someone who is pro-education, then it is your fault for being a dumb fuck. If you vote against education, it is just the system. Basically the equivalent to the religious explaining when bad things happen to them as "just god's will". There is also a strong need to belong to and obey an organization.

Also interesting is that conservatives have 3 times the number of nightmares. I just imagine Brian waking up from night terrors dreaming where Hilary Clinton is chasing him and he can't move his feet.
