People of a right wing persuasion also tend to have a lot of their brain's energy firing in the amygdala, often called the more reptilian part of our brain that processes fear as we struggle between fight or flight. Right wingers are also generally more concerned with ideas like private property, protection, and punishment for the same reason. Not necessarily to say they're not as evolved as more liberal minded types who think with their more mammalian cortexes, which processes innovation and creativity. Sometimes, people just don't always focus their attention on what's really important.
