Alternet: Brain Damage May Explain Religious Conservatives
19th March 2018
Progressives, ever-ready to congratulate themselves on their “curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness,” are curiously quick to grasp at psychological and medical diagnoses to explain the existence of opinions they don’t share.
Just recently, Slate told us that conservative gun users are sexually repressed and lacking empathy. Not to be outdone, the unhinged lefty site Alternet Friday published an article asserting that there is scientific evidence linking religious fundamentalists and conservatives to brain damage.(It came too late to help Joy Behar, who finally apologized on Thursday for calling Mike Pence and other believing Christians mentally ill.)
I should think it would rather be the people who deny reality (e.g. you can pick whether you want to be a man or a woman today) who would be suspected of brain damage.
