It’s because they have been groomed for decades by their churches and politicians in Red states to eagerly accept all authority figures. “Uncle Sam knows best” Scientific study by John’s Hopkins some years back show the larger “reptilian” brains in most conservatives tend to accept authority easier
That’s kind of interesting. I never seen that study, but it sounds right.
I forget the year, it’s been awhile, but I’m sure if you were to research the data it would pop up. The supposition is folks who are deeply conservative in thought often display a larger or more involved brainstem than average compared to cerebral cortex, and are often more receptive to authority.
Found it!
