Actually, if it’s really a dopamine pathway issue, then liberalism may be curable with the proper medication.

Of course. If you are conceived with the stupid gene you’ll be a liberal.
To: Red Badger
Yes, if you are genetically predisposed to have poor impulse control and low intelligence you will not be a conservative.

r vs K selection
One maximizes scarce resources to a few individuals, the other maximizes consumption and reproduction to cover an abundance of resources.

Of course. If you get the genes for stupidity, you’re likely to end up a “Liberal.” If you’re lucky enough to get the genes for intelligence, you’ll be conservative, honest, and realistic, and you’ll probably wind up posting on Free Republic.

“What they found was a robust link between the presence (or not) of the variant and a split between liberals inclined to decry inequality, on the one hand, and die-hard conservative wary of change, on the other.”
I reject the whole premise of the hypothysis.

Given the indoctrination of schools, perhaps the gene means being resistant to brainwashing.

More “born that way” explanations to cover up lack of chracter, logic, vigorous self education and on and on. Go to sanctuary Tucson and spot the leftists. Men and women mincy walk, Suburus wth coexsist and obama stickers . Unisex gray pony tails breathless “I am nice” voices; fury at any conservatie ideas spoken in their presence.
Group think on steroids.
