For libtards, preschool education is about equality of opportunity in the realm of nurture. They despise the traditional family, and want to destroy it, so that the state can rear children equally. Providing funds for preschool education sounds noble, but it is just another step in the destruction of the family by making sure the state controls the children rather than the family.
Conservatism and Liberalism occur when resources are dense enough to support higher population densities, where they are known as the K-selected and r-selected reproductive strategies in r/K Selection Theory. In r-selection, resources are so copiously available that everyone can easily get what they need to survive. It produces every facet of Liberalism, from fleeing from danger, to promiscuity, to diminished investment in offspring rearing, to earlier sexualization of young, to single parenting, as well as lower loyalty to in-group. In r-selection, it is all about avoiding risk and sacrifice, so as to produce more offspring, (regardless of quality) than those around you.
K-selection occurs in high population densities when there aren't enough resources for everyone to survive. It produces competitiveness/aggression, monogamy, two-parent rearing, later age at first intercourse, and high loyalty to in-group. Here, it is all about helping your group to win in the competition for resources, and then producing small numbers of offspring that are fitter than the offspring of those around you.
Each of these exists in nature, as a psychology designed to optimize reproductive success in a specific environment. They emerge in Humans, probably as a sort of evolved adpatability to various resource states. Give us lots fo free resources, like in a successful nation, and leftism emerges, until it collaspes the system back to K, and Conservatism will once again re-emerge.
You see them distilled out of the population when you ask us what type of environment we want. Conservatives want a K-selected model of human behavior, while Liberals want an r-selected environment, where resources are provided to everybody equally, and everybody acts like an r. Stop by my site, if you want to see all the science supporting this.

The incidence of letwingtardism is directly proportional to the density of mosquitos.
Landsat 5 can track mosquitoes to compute densities within 1 kilometer bands.
The issue is that resources are usually highest historically by ports/water, which results in construction of cities early in a society’s life at those points, and high concentrations of wealth and opportunity later on in those areas.
If my thesis is correct, we are designed to “go r” as we experience the dopamine rush of satiation, as a way of adapting our reproductive strategy to resource availability. So in these areas, there may be a correlation to water presence, and even mosquitoes, but the real actor would be resource/opportunity availability, which is higher in cities than rural areas.
I would be easy to prove, theoretically. I would think if some degree of encephalitis was a primary cause of Liberalism, we would see a small number of cases present in an extreme manner, and produce a steady, measurable increase in mortality due to it, in the target (Liberal) populations.
Also, unless mosquitoes increase in number as a society grows more prosperous, that would not explain the gradual leftward shift in ideological parameters which seems to accompany such growth and success. I don’t think we have more mosquitoes now than in 1950, but we sure are going leftward at an impressive rate, as have all prosperous societies before us, after they succeeded.
Liberalism feels to me like a natural psychological adaptation, fostering the use of the rabbit-like r-strategy and r-psychology to reproduce when resources grow plentiful. Cut our resources, let people start having to fight for food, and I am pretty sure Liberalism would disappear overnight.
I used encephalitis as an example of a virus that affects tissues of importance to the brain. A more successful virus in that family would be wise to limit the damage and in fact allow the victims to recover. That would allow repeated infections in more of the host population.
Rural populations would more likely be in a state of recovery ~ although West Central Iowa and Southern Minnesota are overrun with millions of leftists ~ probably due to the 10,000+ lakes around there.
And back to the swimming pools ~ Hollywood anyone?
