I have often wondered the same thing. A while back I became involved in local theatre. Nice, nice folks. Extremely talented and ultra creative as well. But all except for maybe one or two, liberal.
I think ultimately it’s how our brains are wired. For some reason it appears that most highly talented and creative people like actors and artists lean politically to the left, which is feeling based.
Agree. Emotion-based people go left/liberal/progressive/Democrat because those groups pander to emotions.
I've tried doing a simple logical progression with some 'progressive' acquaintances and saw their eyes glaze over and they became visibly bored. Then I asked "What feels like the right outcome?" and they liven back up and tell me what ought to be.
