Right wingers are the real snowflakes?

That's what my brother always says. Is it true?

People on both sides are so sanctimonious these days that it's not easy to tell who has the more delicate sensibilities. If I had to wager, I'd say it's more true on the right simply due to the way conservative brains tend to be structured. On average, self-identified conservatives have a much larger and more active amygdalas than those of self-identified liberals.

Just how much that larger amygdala impacts the brains of right-wingers is still not completely clear, but it is linked to higher sensitivity to perceived threats and increased negative reactivity
