He noted that liberals in the West tend to live in urban or suburban areas and often have fairly weak social and community ties, move more often and are less traditionally religious. They are more individualistic than conservatives and very unlike most people in Eastern cultures.
Conservatives, on the other hand, tend to be more connected to their communities and may live in the same areas throughout their lives, maintaining strong social and familial bonds and commitments, and are more traditionally religious. This puts them more in line with the holistic-thinking majority of the world.

No sh**. Whodathunkit.
Knock me over with a feather...!
On one hand you have Lib tards and on the other, Americans...
Cue Captain Obvious.

Conservatives do have "collectivist" tendencies, but these have nothing to do with economic socialism. It's the collectivism that makes people oriented towards and loyal to their community, culture, and country.

Spoken by someone as though they just discovered this now.
Hmmm... I don't think so.
It's just that conservatives don't flaunt their individuality, nor demand that others "celebrate" it at the risk of losing their jobs.
More like from different planets!
Or, at least from different biological Kingdoms.
Liberals do not think - they ‘feel’.
But the libtard mode of thought is more than analysis. their mode of thought is complete disintegration. Once they have broken reality up into many parts, they are unable to reconnect them back together again to form a whole. They are unable to form objective concepts and principles.
