This Explains a Lot


A new study by British researchers has shown that people who describe themselves as "liberal" have brains with a larger anterior cingulate cortex (which is associated with the ability to understand complexity), while self-described "conservatives" have a larger amygdala (which is associated with feelings of fear and anxiety). In short, conservatives who may be reading this won't understand, but they'll be mad and scared as hell anyway.
