Republicans are more easily grossed out than Democrats.

In this article, we demonstrate that individuals with marked involuntary physiological responses to disgusting images, such as of a man eating a large mouthful of writhing worms, are more likely to self-identify as conservative and, especially, to oppose gay marriage than are individuals with more muted physiological responses to the same images.

1. And yet they manage not to be grossed out by Donald Trump

who is more disgusting than just about anything I can think of.

[qnr]

2. I know, it's amazing, isn't it? n/t

3. Beat me to it

I was going to post almost the exact same thing. The old saying must be true...Great minds do think alike. Added to by my always sharp-witted Grandfather...So do simple ones son.

10. I always preferred:

"Gnarled Minds Think Alike"

4. Ah, but that's different. He has a hot wife...

several of them, to be exact, and a lot of hot girl friends, ergo he must be a 'great lover.' I'm pretty sure the Repub mind goes there.

5. In the Republican mind it isn't women who makes the choices

So Trump gets even more kudos because he has any woman he chooses. Not who chose him.

It's Mucho Macho thing. What kind of lover he is isn't even a consideration. What he orders those women to do to him is.

Women should do what they are told by their man. Period.

6. True,

unfortunately, far too many women allow that too. It's getting better, but slowly.

I prefer strong intelligent women, myself. Problem is, most of them are smart enough to avoid me.

[Skittles]

8. I can assure you Trump cannot have "any woman he chooses"

he has his pick among gold diggers with low self-esteem

[lunatica]

11. They're the only ones worth his attention I'm sure.

What use does he have for women with high esteem and intelligence? They're just pigs, disgusting and fat-assed.

[geardaddy]

16. My first thought.

And not just him... Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, Louie Gohmert, Chris Christie, the list is endless.

[Skittles]

7. and yet they're not grossed out by torture

or the suffering by Katrina victims

they're very selective over what offends their delicate sensibilities

[qnr]

13. Yes, it is quite weird how that works for them n/t

[Bucky]

9. I'm kinda sickened by the child poverty numbers I keep seeing. Doesn't seem to bother them

But maybe they keep their minds on more pleasant thoughts... like who's using the bathroom

[qnr]

14. Yeah, as long as they're born - now they are starting to

blow up Target restrooms, just like they do abortion clinics.

[Duppers]

12. Wonder why they're not repulsed by violence

And torture???

[qnr]

15. Brains are just wired differently. Was probably

useful back in prehistory and the bronze age.
