from my FB friend, Christopher LeFay: And, when those who talk about politics are asked to name up to three people they most often talk to about politics, half (50%) of consistent conservatives name only individuals they describe as also being conservative – outpacing the 31% of consistent liberals who name only liberals. There have been several studies that found those identifying as conservative have stronger feelings of disgust directed to alien people, culture, experiences. I reckon the expression of that disgust is a common element to de-friending by relatively more egalitarian liberals. Take a survey of racist, bigoted rhetoric on Facebook, and youll find a strong conservative bent- often a deal-killer for the liberal. Were there some magic wand that could parse such tendencies from permeating conservative philosophy, their might be wider embrace of conservative policy positions. journalism.org/2014/10/21/political-polarization-media-habits/
