But other accounts show increased black-and-white thinking on issues such Israel’s massacre of Gaza, which has alienated many of his staffers, and an inexplicable show of support for certain Trump administration polices,
Is this finally evidence that brain damage can turn you into a conservative?
There is no think. One of my jobs deals with lead exposure data and education data and demographic data and general political data.
There is absolutely a correlation between lead exposure and red counties. I’m not saying it’s a direct cause, but there is definitely an unavoidable correlation.
I think a lot of my generation (born '71) has mild brain damage, and aggression issues, due to being exposed to leaded gasoline and paint. Known symptoms of lead poisoning. The little metal Army men we played with were made of lead, and painted with lead paint.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s when leaded gas was still common, and I’m about as far as one can get from conservative without falling off the edge of the political spectrum.
It’s statistics, so it doesn’t mean everyone shows lead-poisoned characteristics to the same degree. We’d probably be better off if we hadn’t breathed so much lead though.
Not as far as I know? I was always pretty liberal, and then in the last 10 years or so I’ve slid sharply to the left as the bullshit in the world has increased. shrug

There is for me, I’m no expert. Glad to have confirmation from one, though.
Certainly can’t help.

Sure, I realize it’s not universal, I’m just saying counter-examples exist because I am one.
I’m also a pretty non-violent person, I’ve never been in a fight or thrown a punch in my life, even as a kid. But yeah that’s probably not the norm.
Some people come out of it better than others. You likely overcame a significant challenge in becoming so.
