humans in general are pretty susceptible to the hormones that our bodies produce in response to stimulation.

The thing that I see with the right-wing is that they use fear and alienation as a tool to rally people to their cause with a few hot button issues that have very little to do with actual policy. Saying "they want to kill your granny, take all your money, make it illegal to go to church, and take all your guns so you can't fight back" is a tool they use a lot.

They also like to make it seem as if Democrats aren't made of the same stuff as they are. Making the "other" out of us- It happens here in reverse, seeing those who have aligned themselves with the republican mind set as not every bit as human as you or I. I think it's important for us to fight that tendency- individually and as a party.
