Heh. Well, I think this is just explaining one possible reason why lower IQ people might be racist. Racism aside, I think that conservative dogma, with its simpler, less changing message is perhaps more appealing to folks seeking a simple message to explain the world... An example on the liberal side is the belief that vaccines cause autism, which is still widely held, despite not only being widely disproven in study after study, but the original study which claimed it was shown to have falsified data. Maybe... but I would never call it conservatism, as it would seem like an insult to great (not claiming without flaw anymore than I would a great liberal) conservatives like General Eisenhower.
I'm gonna disagree on the cognitive dissonance and go with delusion. If a person believes the earth is flat, makes all his decisions based on this and raises his childeren under these mental abuses. It most often causes harm to them and those around them, it's not just some difference of opinion. The very definition, believes something that is factually provably false. It can range from being dangerous to being benign such as a an superstition. There are tons of examples, most talking points as are coded words are intended to delude.
In regards to autism and liberals, I've never heard it classified as such. I have seen many conservatives, who believe this as well. Aamof I have tried to point out to many people who fear flu shots because of mercury, it was removed from vaccines back in 1999 (iirc). The funny versions are hearing people say they got the full flu after getting the shot. As if they can measure when and if they get an airborne or by touch virus. As if they were put in a bubble after getting the shot, no restaurant, grocery store, movies...nothing. 
Edit: Me personally, I blame the toxic water (water standards in the US don't test for house hold chemicals or pharmaceuticals), toxic air and food supply (most meats, cheeses and milks are full of steroid and antibiotics). |

| Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.....and they are stupid. Dwight D. Eisenhower |
