Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
84% of white people murdered are killed by whites. I guess we should fear whites too. Especially white conservatives who tend to own more guns than liberals.
Fear.
A study funded by the US Government's National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as: a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".
Study in Current Biology: Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity - the anterior cingulate cortex, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear - the right amygdala.
The comparison was white on black gun violence versus black on white gun violence. The the facts are what they are.
Fear, panic, and "we have to do it now" are the driving forces of virtually all that the Progressives have "legislated" over the past decades, especially, the past six years. Your agenda is all about fear.
Your "studies" are unchallenged and unprovable, sheer opinion. The study groups varied in size to the tiniest of degrees and are meaningless for that reason, alone. The fact that "conservatism can be explained" is not to say that such is the actual explanation. In fact, the very wording allows for alternative findings. The bias is clear: the government attempts to poison the well against all opposition constituencies. That is what is going on here, and nothing more. Only members of your side of the aisle believe this crap.
