Neuroscientist Explains What Could Be Wrong With Trump Supporters Brains

[skews13]

There’s no doubt that Donald Trump has said many things that would have been political suicide for any other Republican. And almost every time he made one of these shocking statements, political analysts on both the left and the right predicted that he’d lose supporters because of it. But as we have clearly seen over the past year, they were dead wrong every time. Trump appears to be almost totally bulletproof.

The only thing that might be more perplexing than the psychology of Donald Trump is the psychology of his supporters. In their eyes, The Donald can do no wrong. Even Trump himself seems to be astonished by this phenomenon. “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.”


Senator John McCain, who has been a regular target for Trump, has a simple explanation for his unwavering support. “What he did was he fired up the crazies.”

While the former Republican presidential nominee may be on to something, he doesn’t exactly provide a very satisfying scientific explanation. So how exactly are Trump loyalists psychologically or neurologically different from everyone else? What is going on in their brains that makes them so blindly devoted?

Bulletproof. Yes, we have found one of the secrets to longevity.

Science has unequivocally shown that the conservative brain has an exaggerated fear response when faced with stimuli that may be perceived as threatening. A classic study in the journal Science found that conservatives have a stronger physiological reaction to startling noises and graphic images compared to liberals. A brain-imaging study published in Current Biology revealed that those who lean right politically tend to have a larger amygdala — a structure that is electrically active during states of fear and anxiety. And a 2014 fMRI study found that it is possible to predict whether someone is a liberal or conservative simply by looking at their brain activity while they view threatening or disgusting images, such as mutilated bodies. Specifically, the brains of self-identified conservatives generated more activity overall in response to the disturbing images.

Right wing pussies or left wing psychopaths?

Man, he knows how to get his name in the news. Market your incredulous message to those suffering from Trump derangement syndrome and it will run like wild fire. Lol

What he forgets is he will always be associated with the disease himself, and lose overall credibility, if he had any to begin with.

The left is looking for justification for their desire to cleanse the nation.

The left is looking for justification for their desire to cleanse the nation.

As opposed to the right who already has their list of justifications ready to go.

The left is looking for justification for their desire to cleanse the nation.

The left has adopted many Nazi party strategies. Nazi's targeted the Jews, the left targeted the 'rich'. Both use propaganda and fake news blasting 24/7 to the people. Both practice extreme intolerance of opposing views.

All of you are wrong including the phony "neuroscientist"!
The problem isn't Trump. The problem is the left or Hillary or communism or whatever.
The problem is the MSM and fortunately for logical rational people everywhere in growing numbers we recognize this growing insanity of the MSM to present their BIASED
Point of View News (POVN) rather than reporting the news as the NON-editorial, commentary portion of the MSM should do.
The MSM's POVN has taken over the headlines/30 second sound bites and rather than make a non-inflammatory report...they bias their presentation.
Look at these examples:
Trump's budget "soaring deficits"... ACCURATE no doubt... but when they came to Obama's budget?
Obama's" combat terror threats, global warming"...all positive platitudes.

Are both tweets wrongs? NO. Both accurate.
But are they FAIR and honest reporting ? YES....
AND they are BIASED! They use positive terms for Obama...negative terms for Trump... illustrative of MSM bias!
