"John Hibbing, a political scientifical scientist, has done a lot of research on the physiology or brain basis, the psychology of politics. He says the word we use shouldn't be authoritarian, it's not primarily authoritarian. It's primarily securitarian people who are really focused on security. They want us to be safe. They see threats over the borders. If that's the way your mind is, then you will end up more attracted to parties right of center whereas if you're less concerned about security then you go more left of center." - Haidt
