STUDY: Testosterone Treatment Turns Democrat Voters More Conservative.
National Pulse ^

Posted on 05/18/2022 10:01:13 PM PDT by TigerClaws

IIncreased testosterone levels can cause Democrats to become more conservative in their political affiliation, a recent experiment analyzing voters in U.S. elections found.

The study – Testosterone Administration Induces A Red Shift in Democrats – was published on November 14th, 2021 by Professor Paul Zak, the Director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University.

“His research has made a substantial impact in explaining the variation in human social behaviors and has been cited by other scholars over 18,000 times placing in the top 0.3% of all scholars,” explains his professional biography.

Zak’s latest findings reveal a link between testosterone levels and political preference through analyzing 136 voting-age males throughout the 2012 election season.

“Our results demonstrate that testosterone induces a “red shift” among weakly-affiliated Democrats,” summarized the paper.

Researchers administered synthetic testosterone or placebo to participants who previously disclosed their political affiliations, allowing researchers to track how the hormone affected participants’ politics.

“When weakly affiliated Democrats received additional testosterone, the strength of their party fell by 12 percent and they reported 45 percent warmer feelings towards Republican candidates for president,” explained the study.

“Before the testosterone treatment, we found that weakly affiliated Democrats had 19 percent higher basal testosterone than those who identified strongly with the party,” the study continues, reiterating the correlation between individuals with lower testoreone having left-wing political beliefs.

While the effects of testosterone waned with individuals who were staunch Democrats or weak Republicans, “our findings provide evidence that neuroactive hormones affect political preferences,” posits the study.

The study comes amidst an ongoing discussion about declining testosterone levels in the U.S. and mainstream media outlets such as The New York Times attacking Fox News host Tucker Carlson for addressing the issue in a recent documentary.

The unearthed link between hormones and political ideology also follows scientists floating “morality pills” as a method to enforce COVID-19 mandate compliance.

OK, I seriously had to check.

The first thing I thought was that this was the Bee.

It’s not.

Maybe this is why so much soy has been pushed into our food supply. For decades…..

We all knew this was true. All you had to do was look at your typical "male" lib. He could use massive injections.

Guess this is why Democrats are all about feelings instead of facts/reality.

This ‘study’ is probably a bunch of crap. But if you do observe under 30 year old males, they are very effeminate. They are beta and a lot want to be trannies. It’s a bit disturbing when you see the masses of them on twitter and other platforms all in unison hating anything conservative or even middle ground.

And estrogen makes Republicans more liberal. The converse is always science!

This will surely cause Biden to place testosterone on a domestic terrorist watch list.

Easy way to fix our country - add testosterone to the water supply.
