I find this topic interesting and I mostly blame it on the chicks. I've mentioned before, Bill Maher's long ago (like early 2000's) rants about the feminization of America. I think it's real, perhaps even necessary and positive in some instances, but also leads to some ugly unintended consequences...
Lefties, seeking the same comfort as right wing Christians but from government rather than the church?
http://www.psypost.org/2018/01/study-le ... ight-50674New research provides evidence that left-wing authoritarian attitudes exist in the United States. The preliminary findings, published in the scientific journal Political Psychology, suggest liberals could be just as likely to be authoritarians as conservatives.
“Political ideology in general is one of the most important and predictive variables in human psychology,” said study author Lucian Gideon Conway, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Montana.
"I became interested in left-wing authoritarianism in particular because some people have said it isn’t a very real or likely phenomenon — and yet I know people I would describe as left-wing authoritarians. So I was curious to figure that out.”
Conway and his colleagues developed a measure of left-wing authoritarianism, which was adapted from the right-wing authoritarianism scale developed by psychologist Bob Altemeyer.
