These ideas could work together in that a lower neural resource for disgust in the group Liberals could result in them only learning a limited subset of disgust responses.<br /><br />Look at the comments section of any leftwing Liberal newspaper (e.g. the Guardian), and you see huge levels of moral and interpersonal disgust towards the powerful classes or particular classes seen as supporting them (not that I am defending these people as actually good at their job and deserving of their position), which seem certainly at least on a par with those described by Conservatives. Left wing attitudes towards low education, low "culture", ignorance sexual conventionality also seem to treat them as disgusting and impure to a greater extent than among conservatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-50062043412983057502013-09-23T00:43:11.831+01:002013-09-23T00:43:11.831+01:00Don't think so.
