      The way violence just disappears from the Liberal's perception as long as it's legal and state sanctioned is really something. Like they recognize police violence as bad but they often don't seem to see a pattern or political and ideological motive behind it, it's just individuals doing bad things because they're bad individuals.

    This "study" pops up like every couple months and gets refuted in the comments every time. It's like the US govt or someone is trying to get it to stick and failing lol.

    Left-wing authoritarians were more likely to perceive the world as a dangerous place and experience intense emotions and a sense of uncontrollability in response to stress.

    Man it's almost like college age white respondents recognize that the political left have been hunted down like dogs for decades, have no political power or representation, and are constant targets for police, state, and non-state actor violence.

    Also drawing conclusions from a sample set of 12 out of 1000 lol.

    "Feckless liberals who believe in nothing find people with strong convictions and beliefs to be alien and frightening".

    What I love is that the study essentially says "Left and Right wingers have completely opposite values, except with regards to violence. this is why they're the same."
