179. You raise a good point

My concern is that we may be confusing causality.

Are conservatives less likely to be able to react appropriately to anomalous information or are those who are more susceptible to conditioning via repetition more likely to be politically conservative? Which came first? Conservative or programmable?

I think the people who are most conservative today are those most susceptible to the barrage of media brainwashing. They're not inherently conservative, they're inherently gullible.
