    That doesn’t explain the city/rural divide though. It could well be that listening to reactionary right wing rhetoric leads to an enlarged amygdala.

      Or that people prone to fear of others would self select living in areas that provide them with fewer others

      It could be that the kinds of life experienced which lead to large amygdalas also lead to conservative political views.

      But sure, let’s pretend it’s not trauma that enlarges the amygdala, but rather the act of listening to long-form interviews.

        I’m not sure there is a distinction of kind between trauma and listening to right wing media.
