If you want a generalization about generalizations, these things are about 2-3x as true among right-wingers as among left-wingers. Research has shown that progressives are much less ethnocentric, much less prejudiced, much more likely to be guided by logic and evidence, much more likely to have consistent ideas, much less likely to conform, much less likely to trust someone just because he says he agrees with them, have much more self-insight, and so on."
Forget about the brain-washed deplorables, the 'conservatives without conscience':
"With that information in mind, from someone who may understand Trump supporters better than Trump does, it is clear that to prevail in 2018 and 2020, Democrats must focus on getting sympathetic non-voters to the polls, and bring back into the fold the anti-Hillary folks, who suffered from Clinton exhaustionvoters who are clearly not right-wing authoritarians."
